The story was very focused and on point with great charactizations of most of the cast, particularly Megatron. […]

Video Game Review – Catherine: Full Body

by

Shaun Munro reviews Catherine: Full Body… Atlus’ stridently singular puzzle-platformer Catherine passed many by – this critic included – upon its original 2011 release, but anything beyond a cursory glance at the game’s cover art or gameplay confirmed it to be an eye-catching offering, both in spite and because of its controversy.

Carnival Row Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘The Joining Of Unlike Things’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Carnival Row… Political intrigue, class clashes and post mortem debates form the backbone of episode four. Murderous intent, slaughterhouse visuals in isolated orphanages and soft focus Pagan rituals pepper fifty minutes of dubious double dealing. Using Shakespearean tragedy with refined brutality against the backdrop of street level justice […]

Carnival Row Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Kingdoms of the Moon’

by

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Carnival Row… There is something unique about episode three which circumvents traditional narrative expectations and mixes mythology with historical events.
