With the recent release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and its less then stellar reception, I thought I would dig back into the Batman universe and see how truly filthy I could get. No, not the Tim Burton films, not even Batman And Robin (though I do love that film). No friends, today […]

I’ve been on a total Roald Dahl nostalgia trip ever since that The BFG trailer. George’s Marvelous Medicine, the story of a perfectly normal boy who not quite inadvertently creates a magic potion and gives it unpleasant and cantankerous grandmother, is my favourite of them all. The only screen adaptation it has received was a five-part […]

Why would anyone want to review new video games and talk about recent trends in the industry when we could spend all of our free time looking into the past? Why talk about Mass Effect: Andromeda when we could talk about Quarantine, right? Why play these older games when we can let someone else do […]

Like most of the internet, I’ve recently become somewhat obsessed with a new farming sim called Stardew Valley (review coming soon). For those who haven’t heard of it, it’s essentially the new Harvest Moon made by an indie studio, and it is awesome! Honestly, I never really got into the Harvest Moon series, but I feel like I’m […]

Opinion: Square Enix, You Gotta Stop Undermining Your Own Games

I have a bone to pick with Square Enix, and it’s that they seem intent on ruining their games. What brought this piece on is Hitman, but it’s not the only offending title. Just Cause 3 suffered terribly from having forced online menus and systems that did nothing to really add to the experience but […]

There is absolutely no chance that you won’t hear the bitches and moans that will no doubt fill your timeline for the next few days, if not weeks, about how AMC basically spat in the face of the audience on what could’ve been an episode of ‘Red Wedding’ proportions. As a fan of both the […]

To be completely honest, I don’t watch movies all that often. Not out of principle or anything, I’m honestly just lousy at ever getting around to them, so usually by the time I see a film it’s already been recommended by a bunch of people whose opinions and tastes I trust. The end result of […]

Although many of us still relish the weekly trip to the comic store to pick up our comics, sometimes that isn’t always feasible, especially in Ireland where comic shops are almost exclusively found in the city. If you’re searching for comics in a small town, or even one of the bigger ones, you’re going to […]

We’re back with another instalment of Backlog Blues, and this time it will be different. No, really it will. I promise it won’t be like last time. I swear I finished Of Orcs and Men, honest. Arkhail got all angry and totally killed the king. Or was it an emperor? Okay look, certain obligations like […]

[Warning: Full Spoilers For Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, The Dark Knight Returns And The Death Of Superman] There’s no 100% right way to interpret an existing comic book character. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice acknowledges this, like predecessor Man of Steel, by being largely its own establishing shot of some of DC’s […]
