Chris’s Top Ten Videogames of 2016: #1
PlayStation VR Developer: Sony Interactive Entertainment Manufacturer: Sony Ok, so I realise that this is a bit of a cheat in a top 10 list games of 2016 however, I can honestly say that nothing I have played this year has blown me away more than experiencing PSVR. People who follow me on The Same […]
Tina’s Top Ten Movies of 2016
In no particular order, here are my top 10 movies of what I watched in 2016. John Wick (2014) ‘Oh, is this Keanu’s comeback’ enquired my Son upon me rewatching John Wick a few days ago. Has Keanu ever really been away? I don’t think so, Google his film output and you’ll see he’s worked solidly […]

Doom Developer: id Software Publisher: Bethesda Softworks PS4, Xbox One, PC Doom is one of the most influential games of all time and its impact on the gaming world can still be felt today, some 23 years after its original release. I’m sure most people have heard of Doom but if you’ve been living under […]

Ratchet and Clank Developer: Insomniac Games Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment PS4 Ratchet and Clank started life in 2002 on the PS2. There have been many games in the series since then but, I had only played the excellent Tools of Destruction on the PS3. I knew it was a celebrated series but, in all honesty […]

Firewatch Developer: Campo Santo Publisher: Panic Campo Santo PS4, Xbox One, PC My award for the best opening to a video game in 2016 goes to Firewatch! To say too much would spoil it but, it sets out an intimate scene showing how two people meet and fall in love. It is beautifully told and […]

Titanfall 2 Developer: Respawn Entertainment Publisher: Electronic Arts PS4, Xbox One, PC I feel really sorry for Titanfall 2! Imagine being released in-between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. In an already crowded marketplace these three games came out a week apart from each other. Titanfall 2 appears to be the victim in […]

Inside Developer: Playdead Publisher: Playdead PS4, Xbox One, PC It’s difficult to write about Inside for a couple of reasons. The first being that I don’t want to spoil anything that happens, as it is an experience that is probably best enjoyed knowing nothing about it. The second reason being that if I’m completely honest, […]
Review: The Driller Killer
Blu-ray: The Driller Killer (1979) Infamous for playing a leading role in the UK ‘Video Nasty’ furore led by the NVLA in the early 1980’s, The Driller Killer returns to our screens in a new uncut 4k restoration, thanks to the awesome people at Arrow Films. Director Abel Ferrara plays the aforementioned ‘Driller Killer’, Reno Miller; a […]
Review: Fright Night
Blu-ray: Fright Night (1985) When Charley Brewster’s (William Ragsdale) new neighbours move in next door, their strange behaviour leads him to believe they could be…vampires. Made two years before The Lost Boys, Tom Holland’s first film is for me, the first true tweeny ‘aware of itself’ cult-horror. Although this is definitely deeply rooted in the […]

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Developer: Naughty Dog Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment PS4 Uncharted 4 is probably the best blockbuster movie video game I’ve ever played! I know that sounds like a bold statement but, I find it hard to describe it any other way because at times it felt like I was playing one […]
