Video Game Review – The Nonary Games

by

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 […]

Powerless Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Van v Emily: Dawn of Justice’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the seventh episode of Powerless… Like Superman appearing on Supergirl, could a series regular who’s a superhero usurp Powerless from the powerless? The show has been pretty consistent each week about leaving Crimson Fox and Jack O’Lantern in the background for guest appearances. Maybe Crimson Fox has spoken to Emily twice (plus saved her life from […]

Video Game Review – Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

by

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 […]

24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’

by

Ricky Church reviews the tenth episode of 24: Legacy… Well, the comparisons to 24: Legacy and its predecessor grew even more with its latest episode. The cast once again gave a strong performance, but not even they could elevate ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’ past its story problems. One of my constant criticisms of the […]
