Video Game Review – God of War

by

Shaun Munro reviews God of War… Some eight years removed from the release of the last core God of War game, the blood-soaked hack n’ slash franchise has been effectively rejuvenated by series veteran Cory Barlog with this staggeringly creative – if decidedly tamer – soft-reboot. Though perhaps not quite the radical, Resident Evil 4-esque reinvention some […]

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 15 Review – ‘In Search of Lost Time’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Supergirl season 3… Time seems to be an overarching theme as well as an important tag line this week.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 19 Review – ‘Fury Rogue’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the nineteenth episode of The Flash season 4… In a bubble, “Fury Rogue” (ridiculous play on words from Mad Max) probably isn’t that bad.
