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 […]

Video Game Review – Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
Shaun Munro reviews Yakuza 6: The Song of Life… The Yakuza series won itself a whole new Western fanbase last year with the release of the meteorically successful Yakuza 0, and last summer’s remake of the original game, Yakuza Kiwami, cemented the franchise’s newfound popularity in a void still awaiting the next Shenmue game. While this latest instalment is as […]
Video Game Review – Theseus
Shaun Munro reviews Theseus… The concept of third-person VR games is still tough for a lot of players to get their heads around, though the likes of PSVR’s Robots Rescue and Wayward Sky have proven just how immersive non-first-person games really can be. As such, Theseus arrives with a heap of curiosity from VR owners looking […]
Video Game Review – Call of Duty: WWII
Shaun Munro reviews Call of Duty: WWII… It’s not a stretch to say that the Call of Duty series has grown increasingly silly in recent years, gradually progressing from the oorah military fetishism of the Modern Warfare games into a sci-fi blockbuster franchise that, in the eyes of many fans, has spun wildly out of control. […]

Video Game Review – Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 3 ‘Hell Is Empty’
Shaun Munro reviews Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 3 ‘Hell Is Empty’… Maintaining the momentum of the previous episode’s scintillating cliffhanger, Life is Strange: Before the Storm‘s “season finale” brings Chloe and Rachel’s adventure to an understated crescendo in mostly satisfying – if occasionally detached – fashion. The snappy two-hour closer goes by […]
Fargo Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘Who Rules the Land of Denial?’
Shaun Munro reviews the eighth episode of Fargo season 3… This week’s episode of Fargo was easily the darkest, weirdest and most suspenseful of the entire season, and despite the general consensus on season three being a decline in quality from the first two, this was certainly one of the strongest episodes in the entire show’s […]
Movie Review – Wonder Woman (2017)
Wonder Woman, 2017. Directed by Patty Jenkins.

Video Game Review – South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Shaun Munro reviews South Park: The Fractured but Whole… After a series of frustrating delays, South Park: The Fractured but Whole is finally here, arriving amid the annual late-year AAA deluge and serving up a refreshing rebuke that’s by turns hilarious, deceptively deep and shamelessly offensive. While it doesn’t quite reach the loony heights of 2014’s […]
