Golden Axe Released: 1990 Platform: Sega Megadrive Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega Golden Axe is quite possibly my favourite game of all time! I’d even go as far to say that it is a perfect game.

Blu-ray: The Falcon and the Snowman (1985) After watching The Falcon and the Snowman I’m surprised that I hadn’t heard about it before, especially considering the talent involved. This excellent film is even more fascinating as it is based on actual events in the lives of Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee. Not heard of […]
