I’ve been banging on about PSVR on my blog for ages and it’s another one of my latest obsessions. If you know me well enough you know that I go through a lot of gadgets. “Monkey see, monkey wants“, that’s me. I’ve owned so many versions of consoles over the years that I’m afraid to […]
Let me make things clear from the start of this review. Konami are responsible for making some of my all-time favourite video games! My childhood was filled with days playing titles such as Batman Returns, Green Beret, TMNT: Turtles in Time, and Sunset Riders to name a few. Let’s be honest, I could list dozens of […]

Blu-ray & DVD: Voodoo Man (1944) Dr. Marlowe (Bela Lugosi) has grieved over the death of his wife for 22 years, but instead of visiting her grave with flowers and kind words, he has her (still perfectly formed) body in the basement of his house, where he attempts to bring her back to life by […]

Well this was a pleasant surpise..Rewind a bit. Now I am not a young man, true I am not a fossil of humanity riddled with dust but nor am I a sprightly young buck. Due to being this age I can remember arcades though, proper ones. Well sort of. I am not talking about the […]
