Review: Trepang 2
I have to admit that I knew nothing at all about Trepang2, so went into this not knowing what to expect…and I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed the experience.An amalgam of Max Payne, F.E.A.R, and the most ballsy and bloody all out action/sci-fi movie you could think of, Trepang2 had me […]
Review: Truck Driver the American Dream
Having played (and reviewed) Soedesco’s previous Truck Driver game, I was intrigued (and hesitantly a little excited) to experience their new current gen trucking title “Truck Driver the American Dream”…which I have to admit after playing it has pushed me to write a review dominated by the word “but”.TDtAD is better than the original Truck […]

Review: The Rev
Intrigued upon reading the synopsis of The Rev, the fact that it happened not too far down the road from 60MW Towers and was set during my favourite decade (the 80s), meant that I just had to give this a watch.In 1985, Detective Inspector Gwyn Roberts was sent to the North Wales seaside town of […]

Blu-ray: Chopper (2000)First time director Andrew Dominik, (who later went on to direct The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), tells some of the Mark “Chopper” Read story. Dipping in an out of his life, including some bits, and ignoring others, we get a sort of ‘encapsulated’ version of this most singular […]

Review: An Evening with Ade Edmondson, The Lowry, Manchester, 24th September 2023
I’ve got a complicated relationship with Adrian Edmondson. Quite a sweeping statement, as I think he’s be surprised to hear he was having any sort of relationship with me. But alas yes, for I have been in love with him since the age of 17. While Rik (Mayall his ‘comedy partner’) was the brash, sexy, […]
