We’re a big fan of subscription boxes here at The Arcade (some of us have crossed the realm from ‘fan’ to ‘obsessed’ but I digress) and we recently received a box called Retro Pop Box. As to what it is and what it offers, the clue is in the name. It’s a box filled with […]

Sadame stylises itself as an action-rpg, originally released in Japan as Ishi-Sengoku-Den Sadame by Intergrow Games back in 2014. The genre action-rpg tends to be very open-ended, a lot of titles stumble awkwardly trying to find their feet while others dress up lazy turn based combat with a new twist and pray no one notices. How […]

After the fun and surprises from the previous episode, I didn’t quite know what to expect in ‘Knots Untie’. I didn’t think the writers would continue steering the show far from its dark depths, and although they haven’t quite returned to the doom and gloom of seasons past, they’re definitely experimenting with some interesting new themes for the series.

Anyone who knows me even slightly will know that I am 100% a pop-punk kid at heart. It’s a product of my upbringing. I was really young when bands like Blink-182 were dominating the mainstream radio, and as I grew up Green Day released American Idiot, Fall Out Boy formed and became superstars and a […]

The Forest Review

There’s no doubt coming off of The Forest that however Natalie Dormer came into being involved with the film, she absolutely deserves better. An attempt at being some level of exotic psychological horror, The Forest is a return to the short-lived trend of inserting good-looking actresses into westernized versions of Japanese horror of the earlier […]

Last week, I reviewed the season 6 premiere of ‘No Way Out’ and, as it kicked off the second half of a great The Walking Dead season with a bang (and gushing praise from me), I was excited to see what this week’s episode offered. Whereas ‘No Way Out’ was all grief and tension and […]
