I’m what they call an 80s baby. As in, I was born in the space of time between 1980 and 1990, 1988 to be exact, so I happen to have hopped on that particular bandwagon just before it left the station. Good thing too, we all know what train came next; the one with S […]

‘Epic’ is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. Originally reserved for awe-inspiring displays of enormous magnitude, ‘epic’ has since become trivialized to the point of mass delusion; frequently used to describe a well made cheese sandwich or a decent dubstep remix you heard the other day.

Okay so this week for High Score I’m going to cheat a little bit. K-On!, for those poor folk among you who aren’t aware, is an anime about a high school rock band named Houkago Tea Time. It has a pretty typical anime score; there are some lovely melancholic numbers and some annoyingly chirpy background […]

Some of you may have noticed that there was no High Score column last week. As much as I’d like to blame it on my thriving career and hectic social life the truth is our review copy of Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag was very late to arrive and, as I discussed in my review, […]
