Michelle Herbert reviews Nod by Adrian Barnes… With so many books to read, it has been a while since I have read such an intriguing idea regarding an apocalypse, Adrian Barnes’ novel Nod is ingenious in how real it feels, as it concerns itself with the breakdown of society meshed with the mental breakdown of […]
Video Game Review – Injustice 2 (Second Opinion)
Shaun Munro reviews Injustice 2… The fighting game is a genre forever at battle with itself; appeal too desperately to the casual crowd and the hardcore lot will deem it “dumbed down”, but targeting the competitive scene too aggressively risks losing mainstream appeal (looking at you, Street Fighter V). Injustice 2, then, is one of the genre’s best […]

Video Game Review – Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
Kirsty Capes reviews Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist… After being consistently baffled by The Stanley Parable, I thought I would have a go at the latest offering in what appears to be a series of non-games from co-developers Davey Wreden and William Pugh, the latter of whom put […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 18 Review – ‘That’s Entertainment’
Martin Carr reviews the eighteenth episode of Gotham season 4… The League of Shadows, counter kidnapping, exploding heads and a kitsch musical homage with festival soundstage overtones help bring things to life this week. Monaghan chews up the screen, is given more time to hone his alter ego to unnerving affect, whilst pastiche drifts closer […]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 Episode 14 Review – ‘Watchdogs’
Danny Hale reviews the fourteenth episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3… After the events of ‘Parting Shot’ it seems only appropriate to open this week with Mack on leave. Out of the entire team it was Mack who was closest to Bobbi and Hunter and so this was a nice opportunity to explore Mack’s […]
The Flash Season 2 Episode 17 Review – “Flash Back”
Jessie Robertson reviews the seventeenth episode of The Flash season 2… Oh, nice guy Eddie, you are missed, sir. This week’s episode was all about going back to the past and then realizing that time moves on and you need to leave the past behind you. But, when the past was this good…. I mean, […]
Arrow Season 4 Episode 17 Review – ‘Beacon of Hope’
Jessie Robertson reviews the seventeenth episode of Arrow season 4… That’s Beacon, not Bee-Con -Ok, Curtis has won me over completely; big news tonight, is, and how did I not see this, Curtis is taking over Felicity’s job as the tech person on the team (we presume, he told his hubbie he would not be […]

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 11 Review – ‘.380’
Ricky Church reviews the eleventh episode of Daredevil season 2… While it was a good episode, ‘.380’ is where Daredevil’s second season started slipping a bit for me as it began juggling a little too much. Picking right up from ‘The Man in the Box’, The Hand assaulted the hospital to gain back the children. […]
