A somewhat underwhelming movie saved by a couple of excellent moments and a liberal application of Danny Trejo.

Review: Knights of Pen and Paper 2

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is a sequel in its truest form. Getting rid of the mechanics that did not work in the previous game and expanding on those that did.

Review: Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 – Catch a Ride

Catch a Ride is the strongest episode of Tales from the Borderlands so far - the action, humour and excitement Telltale has managed to keep consistent certainly helps.

Review: Game of Thrones: Episode 4 – Sons of Winter

Sons of Winter delivers more of the same, with some surprise character developments yet no strong sense of story progression.

Review: Ant-Man

Ant-Man is not the movie Diarmuid originally got excited for, but it has enough inventive humour, charm and action to make it a worthy MCU entry.

Review: The Next Great American Game

The Next Great American Game is a fascinating look into the life of a budding board game designer, as well as the industry as a whole.

Review: Game of Thrones (Season 5) – Spoiler Free!

Alex attended a Game Of Thrones - Season 5 finale screening and reviewed this season of the show.

Review: Pound of Flesh

While a new generation may now only know Jean Claude Van Damme from Coors Light commercials, Pound of Flesh demonstrates that he has still got the charm and wit to carry a good ol’ action yarn.

Review: Praetor

Alex reviews Praetor, a worker placement game, where each player is an engineer in Roman empire trying to impress Caesar with their city planning skills.

Review: Burying the Ex

Joe Dante directed two of Diarmuid's favourite movies growing up in the two Gremlins films. When his latest movie, Burying the Ex, was offered to him, he understandably jumped to cover it.

Review: Blueprints

Review: Judge Dredd: Dark Justice

When Rik was given the opportunity to read Judge Dredd: Dark Justice, the brand new standalone story featuring the return of the Dark Judges, he jumped on it

Review: I am Bread

Simon played I am Bread, a game where you drive your owner insane and flop around with a piece of toast.

Review: Magicka 2

Rik was pulled in to Magicka 2 by a charming trailer with awkward humour, and it kept him watching with its show of chaotic and colourful gameplay. That’s the power of a great trailer - because h...

Not long time ago Alex has discovered a little game called HexAgony that proved that a great simple idea is sometimes all that matters to make a great game.

Review: 22 Jump Street

Chris Miller and Phil Lord are quickly becoming some of the best talents in Hollywood right now. 22 Jump Street delivers yet another reason to praise the pairing.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 – In Sheep’s Clothing

Traditionally, penultimate episodes involve quite a bit of preamble. Praise be to Telltale Games then as they deliver one of the most thought-provoking and dramatic episodes yet.

Review: War Thunder (with Ground Forces)

Seven months after the game was released for the PlayStation 4 in the EU, and almost two years after the game went into open beta on PC, War Thunder has finally arrived for PlayStation 4 on North...

Review: Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow may not be the best movie of the summer so far but it is a fantastic action movie, worth your time.

Review: Watch_Dogs

It was once said that "the pen is mightier than the sword". With Watch_Dogs, it now seems "the phone is mightier than the gun".

Review: Monochroma

Whilst it lives up to the promise of a deep visual experience, Monochroma is ultimately unsatisfying thanks to a frustrating lack of control.

Review: Lemmings Touch

Lemmings take a nosedive off of a cliff... and land squarely on the Vita. Touch controls, ahoy!

Review: X-Men: Days of Future Past

Days of Future Past gives us a brilliant sequel, a new timeline to consider as well as first-class performances from an impressive ensemble cast.

Review: Godzilla

Godzilla comes stomping back onto our screens after a sixteen-year absence and Diarmuid was happy with what he saw - though not without reservations.

Review: The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 3 – In Harm’s Way

Season 2 has already provided some unsettling insight into people's darker nature; In Harm's Way is a further step in this grave direction.

Review: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - All Star Battle is a fighting game based on one of the most popular manga series of all time.

Review: Stick it to The Man!

May's PS4 PlayStation Plus offering is a charming, humorous adventure that, although brief, will leave you with a big, dopey grin on your face.

Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The Game

Spidey once again swings out of the big screen for another videogame, but will it be Amazing or nothing more than an average tie-in?

Review: Titan Attacks!

Jon reviews the Crossbuy-enabled PlayStation port of Puppy Games' inventive love letter to Space Invaders and finds much to like of its own invention.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 – A Crooked Mile

Not only does the drama and tension continue to build in β€˜A Crooked Mile’, but so does the vice grip this game holds over Diarmuid's attention.
