Ben Rayner reviews This Is the Police… Ahh jeez and he was one day from retirement. Well, that’s not strictly true, it was closer to 180 days from retirement when officer Jack Boyd grew tired of doing the right thing. An exhausting run of toeing the line between right and wrong to keep a squeaky […]
Book Review – The Story of the Commodore 64 in Pixels
Ben Rayner reviews The Story of the Commodore 64 in Pixels… The Commodore 64 was essentially my first console experience. Watching and waiting as those tapes worked their painfully slow magic before dinner was what made most of my evenings as a child that little bit more special.

Well, that sounds great and something that had my had ready to grip the 3DS once more. Sadly, I felt a somewhat more tepid emotion when playing […]
Video Game Review – The Flame in the Flood
Ben Rayner reviews The Flame in the Flood… Survival isn’t just a word to be banded about in order to make your next movie or game sequel sound more tense and gritty than it’s predecessor. Sure, that’s often how it’s used but it’s actually a skill to be taught, learned and mastered. It’s also an […]

Video Game Review – Slender: The Arrival
Ben Rayner reviews Slender: The Arrival… By now the tales of Slender Man are a world-wide phenomenon. Perhaps due to it’s simplicity, telling the tale of an oddly tall being that never speaks and can appear anywhere at any time, it captured the fragile fear of everyone. Especially those smaller and younger humans we often […]
