Supergirl Season 1 Episode 14 Review – ‘Truth, Justice and The American Way’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Supergirl… All the best comic book fables have a moral tale at their centre. Whether you consider adages such as ‘with great power, comes great responsibility’, ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ or my personal favourite ‘dead or alive you’re coming with me’. They imply when done well that super […]

Video Game Review – Rocket League

by

Martin Carr reviews Rocket League… You’re in a huge stadium. Floodlights blaze down from atop vast scaffolding constructs encompassing an arena decked out in full regalia. People rev their engines in anticipation of that klaxon kicking off another adrenaline fuelled foot to the floor fiasco. Rocket League is foolishly simple yet savagely addictive from almost […]

by

Martin Carr reviews Homefront: The Revolution closed beta… Deep Silver Dambuster Studios have created something which I have played more than a few times.

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 13 Review – ‘For The Girl Who Has Everything’

by

Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Supergirl… Feeling like a throwback to Alien and those programmes confident enough to put two people in a room for an hour with no action. Supergirl hit her stride yet again with pitched battles, comedic elements and alien parasites. Coupled with moments of pathos in an episode which […]

Video Game Preview – Sheltered

by

Martin Carr previews Sheltered… Consider Sheltered a constantly evolving organic entity. Fancy words I know. But ultimately the most accurate when it comes to describing what we have. You see what Team 17 have done is started with a basic concept. A sort of low-fi Fallout 4. Minus the graphical enhancements, combat nuances or inherent […]

The X-Files Season 10 Episode 4 Review – ‘Home Again’

by

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of The X-Files season 10… Past life trauma and theological notions of self are the focus for Mulder and Scully this week. Using theories on inspiration, creativity and the indelible idea of original thought as a jumping off point. In an episode written and directed by veteran X-Files producer […]
