IO Interactive’s Hitman series is infuriating. At times it reaches new highs of video game enjoyment and then gets dragged back down by nasty little flaws. The stealth sections are exquisite but the cheap AI and the occasional rubbish boss battle have plagued the entire franchise since day one. All these pros and cons can […]

Previously I reviewed an episode of Batman The Animated Series featuring Clayface a lesser known yet well loved Batman baddie. The shapeshifting nature of this villain made him very difficult to animate and as such he only appeared in three episodes. Today I’ll be looking at another, far more well known villain who was easy […]

Lo and behold, Star Trek‘s 50th anniversary is upon us. Despite Paramount not having done much to celebrate (A trailer-like video? Really? That’s all we get?), we fans know how to celebrate in style (We all can agree that MAC did a much better job at celebrating, or at least cashing in on the celebration, […]

Syphon Filter was one of the first games I ever rented. My Dad didn’t really see the point of renting, but I got Syphon Filter for a short but glorious week back in 1999. If the timeline fits, I had already met the love of my life Metal Gear Solid the year before. Chances are good that […]

Tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of Shaft, the jewel in the crown of the blaxploitation genre. Even the powerful effect this film had on American cinema is overshadowed by its phenomenal cultural impact. Richard Roundtree’s portrayal of John Shaft turned him into a cinema icon and became a measuring stick for power, strength, confidence and […]

Asking fans of the Final Fantasy series what their favourite game in the series is will no doubt garner a number of different answers (as a franchise with nearly 15 core games should!). The vast majority will probably tell you it is Final Fantasy VII, with its bold move into the 3D landscape and an […]

Batman TAS (The Animated Series) is second to none in its adaptation and interpretation of the legendary comic book characters. It’s also known for creating new heroes and villains. While some became staples of the mythology (Harley Quinn, Renee Montoya) others are best suited for one-off adventures. These little stand alone stories have no real star power but […]

In the summer of 1999 my parents bought myself and my sister a brand new PC. Back then Windows PCs came pre-loaded with a number of demos, and one of ours was the original Age Of Empires. My 11 year-old self was glued to the computer for hours upon hours, giving point and click commands […]

Here we are in 2016 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 sits atop the box office. The original Ninja Turtles film was released back in 1990 and I couldn’t tell you a thing about it. Oh I definitely saw it, and I adored the cartoon (which I knew as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles because the […]
