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 […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 6 Review – ‘The Lord of No Mercy’
Shaun Munro reviews the sixth episode of Fargo season 3… The latter half of Fargo‘s third season hit the ground running this week, building on the previous barn-burner of an episode with perhaps its most shocking and suspenseful instalment yet. From the outset, Ray means business when it comes to avenging Yuri and Meemo’s brutal assault of Nikki, […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 5 Review – ‘The House of Special Purpose’
Shaun Munro reviews the fifth episode of Fargo season 3… “The House of Special Purpose” marks the mid-way point of Fargo‘s third season, and in many ways feels like a transitory episode, nodding towards the potential dark ends down the road for many of these characters. That’s not to say episode five wasn’t totally hilarious too, […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Narrow Escape Problem’
Shaun Munro reviews the fourth episode of Fargo season 3… Fargo returns to business-as-usual after last week’s entertaining sojourn to Los Angeles, and things finally start coming together as Gloria is drawn towards the Stussys, while Emmit begins to feel the pinch from Varga and his lofty ambitions. “The Narrow Escape Problem” opens with a cameo-of-sorts from […]
Prison Break Season 5 Episode 6 Review – ‘Phaeacia‘
Shaun Munro reviews the sixth episode of Prison Break season 5… The walls well and truly close in this week as ISIL hunts down Michael and co., and having run out of contingencies, the master tactician is forced to do the one thing he hates; improvise. Unsurprisingly, their first escape attempt ends up a bust thanks to […]
