Not only is Gummi Beasrs one of the best cartoons to ever come out of the 90s but that theme tune is easily one of the front-runners for the best cartoon theme tune in the history of theme tunes. If you don’t believe me let it be known that it lasted six seasons and over 90 episodes. As a child […]

We all know the two feelings that come after a boss battle. A tense and lengthy battle of tactics and effort can leave you feeling battered, yet somewhat exhilarated. Facing a tough, spam-happy opponent with multiple stages and no checkpoints can have you thinking seriously about tracking down the designers. By 1998 I had experienced both […]

[Spoilers ahead] This week’s episode opened with one of my favourite characters, Carol, as she picked out ingredients and cooked beet cookies for the Alexandrians. It’s a mark of her character and her terrifying nature that something as seemingly innocent as making cookies can make you feel so uneasy. She could just as easily be […]

Some games will always be underrated. Some will never quite get the recognition they deserve. Mirror’s Edge is one of those games. Despite a sequel coming later this year, the first Mirror’s Edge and its relative cult status within video games isn’t likely to change. Too much has come and gone since its 2008 release […]

It’s a cold, snowy day here in Ireland this morning. What better way to warm up than with some classic thrash metal? Our track of the day today is the masters, Slayer, with ‘Blood Red’, from Seasons In The Abyss! Despite following the blistering ‘War Ensemble’, ‘Blood Red’ is a little more mid-paced, a little […]

That’s right its back baby! Bad guys, villains and monsters, all the people we love to hate packed into ‘Boss Rush’. The Metal Gear series has been around for the last 20 years or so then you’ve probably played at least one of the titles. If like me you joined the series in the early […]

There’s not much of a theme this week, it’s just the stuff I’ve been listening to most over the last week or two. There may be some ridiculous movie soundtracks in here because I’ve been going running recently, consider yourself warned. John Farnham – Thunder In Your Heart Farnham is an accomplished musician but this […]
