Shaun Munro reviews the second episode of Fargo season 3… If Fargo‘s season premiere left a prevailing feeling of deja vu, the follow-up moves a little further away from the familiar, even if the key beats are still distinctly Fargo, and this is very much the lethargic second episode the show has essentially made its signature […]
Prison Break Season 5 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Prisoner’s Dilemma’
Shaun Munro reviews the fourth episode of Prison Break season 5… The second act of the Prison Break revival kicks off with ISIL’s reach expanding in Yemen, causing Ogygia’s prisoner contingent, led by Cross (TJ Ramini), to panic and plan to take terrorist leader Abu Ramal hostage as a bargaining chip, much to Michael’s chagrin. […]
Video Game Review – Late Shift
Shaun Munro reviews Late Shift… Late Shift is an ambitious attempt to revitalise the oft-ridiculed FMV game genre, an interactive movie of sorts that brings with it an impressive production quality and unexpected degree of Hollywood pedigree, with Michael Robert Johnson (co-writer of Guy Ritchie’s 2009 Sherlock Holmes reboot) penning the branching heist thriller narrative. London-based Maths student Matt […]
Prison Break Season 5 Episode 3 Review – ‘The Liar’
Shaun Munro reviews the third episode of Prison Break season 5… “The Liar” signals the end of the Prison Break revival’s first act, as Michael and co. stage an escape attempt from Ogygia, and if you don’t know where all this is heading by episode’s end, you probably haven’t watched enough Prison Break. This week, tension ratchets […]
Video Game Review – The Nonary Games
Andy O’Flaherty reviews The Nonary Games… Have you ever read one of those ‘choose your own adventure’ books that were very popular in the 80’s and 90’s? Each page ends with a choice of how the story progresses – “If you want to go through the left door, turn to page 6, if you want […]
Video Game Review – Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition
Shaun Munro reviews Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition… People Can Fly’s 2011’s cult throwback shooter Bulletstorm is a bizarre candidate for an HD remaster, considering that it sold poorly the first time around and has also aged extremely well aesthetically. That said, as an easy excuse to give this gonzo FPS another shot, the Full Clip Edition is a fun […]
Prison Break Season 5 Episode 2 Review – ‘Kaniel Outis’
Shaun Munro reviews the second episode of Prison Break season 5… After Michael spent 99% of last week’s season premiere in the shadows, he’s thrust at the viewer from the opening moments of episode two as he readies another hilariously convoluted plot to save the day. Smart and admirable though it is that “Kaniel Outis” is […]
Video Game Review – PaRappa the Rapper Remastered
Shaun Munro reviews PaRappa the Rapper Remastered… As a common fixture on PS1 demo discs, PaRappa the Rapper is ingrained in the minds of an entire generation of gamers, many of whom perhaps didn’t even play the full title. The legendary 1997 rhythm game marks its 20th anniversary with a glossy 4K remaster, which while doing little […]
Prison Break Season 5 Episode 8 Review – ‘Progeny’
Shaun Munro reviews the eighth episode of Prison Break season 5… Prison Break‘s penultimate episode hit the ground running from minute one, frantically darting all over the place in order to set up the chess-board for next week’s finale. Beginning “somewhere in the Mediterranean”, Michael, Lincoln, Whip and Sucre quickly found their way to Marseilles, and before long […]
Video Game Review – VR Karts
Shaun Munro reviews VR Karts… Viewpoint Games’ VR Karts attempts to infuse greater immersion into the much-loved Mario Kart formula, and tantalising though that idea sounds on paper, the depressingly lacking end product makes it a disappointing failure. The gameplay loop is essentially Mario Kart to a T; you race around short, colourful maps, collecting speed boosts and power-ups which can then […]
