Review: Hostage
DVD: Hostage (2011) It seems as though the news can not be switched on lately without at least one mention of terrorist activity from within the Middle East.

There are countless articles and discussion about frames rates, microtransactions, day one patches and does a game run at 1080p? It sometimes feels like we are taking […]

Review: Lollipop Chainsaw
PS3 & Xbox 360: Lollipop Chainsaw Some time ago ‘Lollipop Chainsaw‘ was mentioned on Twitter and the general consensus was this game sucks! It demeans women, it’s horrible and should be burnt at the stake. As a result I felt the need to wade in and explain why I feel that this game comes in […]
