Comic Book Review – Assassin’s Creed: Conspiracies #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews Assassin’s Creed: Conspiracies #1… It has been a little while since my last venture into the extended Assassin’s Creed universe, but I will admit I tend to enjoy the story in the comics more than the games recently. There is something about only investing 10/15 minutes at a time into a comic […]

Comic Book Review – The Raid #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews The Raid #1… How exactly do you turn an extremely heavily choreographed martial arts film into a comic book series? Well, the answer is very interestingly.

by

Calum Petrie reviews The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit… The story of a 10 year old boy’s Saturday morning is not the most exciting thing to base a game around, though if you throw in links to a Life is Strange sequel, then you have something very interesting.

Many people are thriving for more advanced graphics with the incredible amount of details found within the 4K resolution and HDR. Many indie developers are focusing more on pixel art style, […]

Tech Review – Venom Power Pack and Stand for Nintendo Switch

by

Calum Petrie reviews the Venom Power Pack and Stand for Nintendo Switch… So as a recent convert to the Nintendo Switch, I have found playing games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the other more graphically intensive games on this console are a bigger drain on battery than the more indie focuses […]

Comic Book Review – Demi-God #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews Demi-God #1… There are many different genres of comics – far too many to list on this review. Though if you were to go to the less serious side, somewhere near the satirical, this is where you would find Demi-God. The story is told from the perspective of the lead character, Jason […]

Video Game Review – Extinction

Calum Petrie reviews Extinction… Extinction is an action/adventure hack & slash game which places players in a familiar “one man against the apocalypse” scenario. The theme of extinction is one of a man who is the last of his ancient order, the one person who is able to stand against the hordes of evil and […]
