by

Villordsutch reviews Firewatch… Firewatch was voted Number.4 in Flickering Myth’s most anticipated video games of 2016 back in January. I myself have been watching Campo Santo’s latest release with bated breath since the kindling was first laid out in-front of us and now finally it appears on our machines and I’m so hoping this blazes […]

The Overlooked and Under-Appreciated – Demolition Man

by

Tom Jolliffe kicks off a new series looking at the overlooked and under-appreciated by revisiting the 1993 action classic Demolition Man… I found myself thinking recently about films that have been repressed to the dark recesses of forgotten cinema.

Book Review – Sinclair ZX Spectrum: a visual compendium

by

Villordsutch reviews Sinclair ZX Spectrum: a visual compendium… Being born in the 1970’s I have the Sinclair ZX Spectrum rainbow colours coursing through my veins.  I still today fly the flag of the ZX Spectrum and though I’m more than happy to allow some gently mocking of this 8-bit machine to been tossed around, my greying hackles […]
