Shaun Munro reviews LocoRoco Remastered… SCE Japan Studio’s weird and wonderful 2006 PSP platformer LocoRoco has finally received the gorgeous 4K remaster treatment it’s long been deserving of, and though its light, casual gameplay won’t be for all tastes, the dementedly cute title has lost none of its charm over the last decade. The gameplay loop is simple; you […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 3 Review – ‘The Law of Non-Contradiction’
Shaun Munro reviews the third episode of Fargo season 3… If the first two episodes of Fargo‘s third season leaned a little too eagerly on established formula, “The Law of Non-Contradiction” keenly throws it all out the window. This is easily the most distinctly singular episode from any of its three seasons so far, entirely ditching […]

Prison Break Season 5 Episode 5 Review – ‘Contingency‘
Shaun Munro reviews the fifth episode of Prison Break season 5… With “Contingency”, Prison Break‘s fifth season reaches its half-way point, and mercifully hits the ground running after last week’s shock reveal that Sara’s husband Jacob just might be the shadowy puppet-master Poseidon. Refreshingly, writer Vaun Wilmott doesn’t force the audience through perfunctory scenes where Sara disbelieves T-Bag’s revelation […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 10 Review – ‘Somebody to Love’
Shaun Munro reviews the season finale of Fargo season 3… The riveting and occasionally frustrating capper to Fargo‘s divisive third season broached its overarching theme of perception vs. reality (or perhaps more currently, “fake news”) in perfectly ambiguous, Coens-esque fashion, even if in many aspects “Somebody to Love” was a relatively predictable, foregone conclusion to the Stussy […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘Aporia’
Shaun Munro reviews the ninth episode of Fargo season 3… Fargo’s third season nears its close with a riveting penultimate episode which, while less energetic than some might expect for the lead-in to a season finale, nevertheless carefully arranged the various chess pieces for one Hell of a send-off. Kicking things off, Meemo murders a man named Marvin […]

Video Game Review – Kingdoms And Castles
Lewy Buck reviews Kingdoms and Castles… As an avid fan of strategic city builders Kingdoms and Castles looked as if to be a sure fire hit in my books and I was delighted to hear when it smashed it’s crowdfunding goal by 725%. The two man team over at Lion Shield Studios won over the […]
