Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 18 Review – ‘No Regrets’

by

Danny Hale reviews the eighteenth episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4… While ‘Identity and Change’ last week showcased just how ruthless the Framework’s version our Fitz is, ‘No Regrets’ gave us a better idea of just how and why he ventured down this path. In addition, we got to welcome an old face […]

Video Game Review – Yooka-Laylee

by

Scott Watson reviews Yooka-Laylee… Is it cool to say this is gloriously retro? Is it far enough back in gaming history, that we can class a game that has its heart, soul and roots in the superb platforming spectacles of the N64 era as retro? You know what, screw the retro, Yooka-Laylee is platforming glory […]

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 […]

WWE WrestleMania 33 Review

by

Liam Hoofe reviews WrestleMania 33… Well, what a night that was. Clocking in at over 7 hours Wrestlemania 33 was quite the endurance test (finishing at 6:10am in my time-zone.) For once, though, the length of the event felt justified and WWE delivered a truly great Wrestlemania that will be fondly remembered for years to […]
