Review: Swimming With Sharks
Blu-ray & DVD: Swimming With Sharks (1994)Kevin Spacey.Now, how come I, a really big Woody Allen fan, resolutely refuse to review any of his films, yet can pop a Kevin Spacey film into the dvd player and still feel that this fella is one hell of an actor?

Review: The Office (U.S.): The Complete Series
Blu-ray: The Office (U.S.): The Complete Series (2005-2013)I watched and enjoyed the original UK version of The Office when it first aired in 2001, and have rewatched both series and the Christmas special many times since then.I didn’t watch the U.S. version until many years after its premiere in 2005 (probably around 2015), as I […]
Review: Fire: Ungh’s Quest
When a Nintendo Switch review code for Fire: Ungh’s Quest arrived here at 60MW Towers, I had absolutely no idea what it was about. 20 minutes after downloading it and jumping into the game, I was still none the wiser as I controlled the Neanderthal Ungh across a landscape in search of the titular fire. […]

Review: The Krays
Blu-ray: The Krays (1990)I remember when The Krays was released (31 years ago!) and there was some media furore about its violent content.

Review: Evercade Atari Collection 1
Evercade Atari Collection 1 Review If you’ve listened to the latest episode of the ABCD of Gaming (and if you haven’t then why not?) you’ll have heard Adam talking about his brand-new purchase of the Evercade handheld console.

Review: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1&2 (Nintendo Switch)
I played Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 on the Dreamcast when they were released 20+ years ago (time goes by so fast!) and enjoyed them so much that I bought the new remastered version on PS4 earlier this year.So it was with great excitement when a review code for the Nintendo Switch version […]
Review: The Dark and the Wicked
