Video Game Review – Batman: Return to Arkham

by

Thomas Roach reviews Batman: Return to Arkham… Batman: Return to Arkham bundles together the acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City full remasters for the current generation. Having been disappointed with Batman: Arkham Knight it has certainly been nice to return to what I consider superior games, and if it were not for the remaster it […]

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 4 Review – ‘Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire’

by

Danny Hale reviews the fourth episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4… “We’re making a comeback”. Coulson’s statement this week to Eli regarding the state of S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn’t have been more accurate; ‘Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire’ did a great job of humanising Ghost Rider, reconnecting Daisy with her old team and tying […]

Arrow Season 5 Episode 3 Review – ‘A Matter of Trust’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the third episode of Arrow season 5… “Green Arrow Brooding” is so last season; “Mayor Brooding” is now trending….. Trust is a tricky thing; it’s something Oliver doesn’t give or take lightly; he can’t; live through what he has and you would be the same way. We’re getting a sense of that […]

The Strain Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘White Light’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of The Strain season 3… Slowly strands are beginning to intertwine as flashbacks become more familiar, interactions more fraught and family ties are severed in a search for closure. The Strain has become what few thought possible, morphing as it has into an allegorical testament to some of our […]

Scream: The TV Series Halloween Special Review

by

Martin Carr reviews the Scream: The TV Series Halloween Special… There is something distinctly old school about this feature film length Scream special which is reassuring, run of the mill but nonetheless engaging stuff. Acting as a bridge between seasons two and three, this here is proper haunted house, isolated island cliché with lashings of […]

Gotham Season 3 Episode 5 Review – ‘Anything For You’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Gotham season 3… Gotham’s web is spreading wider. If ‘Rise of the Villains’ foreshadowed, gave cohesion and made Gotham a viable viewing proposition, then ‘Mad City’ is shaping up to be the perfect companion piece. There appears to be no episodic structure rather a meandering combination of plot […]

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘The Last Children of Krypton’

by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Supergirl season 2… Unfortunately episode two of season two is copybook stuff. After that barnstormer however anything was likely to feel like an anti-climax, but somehow I expected more than this. Not there is anything particularly bad about ‘The Last Children of Krypton’, just that they give us […]
