Review: Ro-Busters: The Nuts And Bolts Vol. 1

Thunderbirds, minus Jeff Tracy, plus a greedy cyborg, minus the Tracy kids, plus a bunch of misfit robots equals 2000 AD's Ro-Busters.

Review: Death Vigil (Vol. 1)

Rik claims that Death Vigil is one of the best comics he's read in years. Find out why.

Review: Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 5 – The Vault of the Traveler

With the finale complete, Tales from the Borderlands is currently vying for a place on Diarmuid's game of the year list.

Review: Bedlam

Bedlam attempts to parody and poke fun of the shooters of yesteryear, but ultimately falls flat on its face in the process.

Review: Crimson Peak

The astounding visuals and macarbre thrills of Crimson Peak impressed Jess, even though it never quite reached its melodramatic potential.

Review: AD Prog 1950

Reuben is somewhat embarrassed that he's never actually read an issue of 2000 A.D. Will Prog 1950 make him want to rectify that?

Review: Plague Inc. Evolved

Having found success on mobile platforms and PC, Plague Inc. Evolved infects its way over to the Xbox One in a big way.

Review: Dark Moon

Do you like gazing into your friends' eyes whilst you try to decide if they are lying to you? Then maybe Dark Moon will be your sort of good time.

Review: Tearaway Unfolded

Many games today are bleak, gritty and take themselves too seriously. Tearaway Unfolded provides a welcome respite in its colourful world.

Review: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

One of Diarmuid's favourite video game franchises concludes.

Review: Burger Boss

Tim's name is mentioned in the Thank You section of this game so this is basically a biased waste of your time.

Review: Blunt Force Trauma

It is fair to say that Blunt Force Trauma lives up to its name. Diarmuid certainly felt it.

Review: The Crew

Among a slew of other racing games, The Crew has a job on its hands to set itself apart from the pack - and Diarmuid has to admit that Ivory Tower have given it a good chance.

Review: Far Cry 4

The loudest complaint levelled at Far Cry 4 is that it is too similar to its predecessor. Diarmuid falls into the ā€œif it ain’t brokeā€ camp.

Review: MOGA Pocket

The biggest barrier to Diarmuid embracing smartphone gaming is the lack of proper controls available. He got to test-drive the MOGA Pocket controller to see if they have fixed the problem.

Review: Escape Dead Island

Simon takes a look at the newest installment in the Dead Island series, Escape Dead Island. His only advice for the game and the inevitable zombie virus: Don't get it!

Review: Assassin’s Creed Unity

Assassin's Creed, for Dom, is a series that has been going steadily downhill for a while now. His biggest question coming into Unity was simply could they change things up enough to keep him inte...

Review: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

Jess was impressed with the new Hunger Games movie's mature tone and ambition, as well as its stellar cast, but found it just a bit too, for lack of better word, boring.

Review: Randal’s Monday

Rik spent thirty minutes wandering around aimlessly before realising all he had to do was open a window.

Review: Lords of the Fallen

Diarmuid went into Lords of the Fallen waiting to be convinced by the Dark Souls formula. His views have not changed drastically after playing Desk 13's homage though.

Review: Never Alone

Never Alone tells a traditional Inupiat story of a young girl and her arctic fox companion, mixing in video segments explaining the culture of the Inupiat people.

Review: Heroes & Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar

Simon takes a look at the interesting but nonetheless mediocre mix of strategy and roleplaying that is Heroes & Legends.

Review: Senran Kagura Bon AppƩtit

Diarmuid was not overly impressed with the over-sexualisation in Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. The latest game in the long-running series, Senran Kagura Bon AppƩtit, has similar issues.

Review: Interstellar

There are few directors out there who do not have a dud in their back catalogue. Christopher Nolan continues to be one such example.

Review: How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition

Despite some issues, Diarmuid enjoyed his time stranded on an island with How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition and he believes any budding survivalists out there will too.

Review: Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition

With all of the work that's clearly gone into this remake, it's great to see the best of its original charm hasn't been lost.

Review: Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops

Despite a few niggles which get in the way of the fun at times, Diarmuid has enjoyed his enlistment in Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops.
