Having been on PC since June of this year and constantly evolving over that time, ARK represents something completely new […]
Video Game Review – The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
Martin Carr reviews The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing… Hungarian games developer NeoCore have unleashed a Diablo III clone which is fun, fast but ultimately offers little to shout about. I know that sounds like a rather harsh opening but consider these hurdles. Diablo III was an epic action RPG which managed to remain addictive […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘Hostile Takeover’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl… Supergirl moved into the topical realm of cyber terrorism this week, when Kara faced off against Auntie Astra and Uncle Non. While Cat Grant fell victim to industrial espionage, which served to unearth the odd secret and generally broaden the playing field. Although performances were uniformly good […]
Comic Book Review – Invisible Republic #8
Zeb Larson reviews Invisible Republic #8… When you cover a story, you can go too deep. Invisible Republic’s mystery keeps getting deeper as it tosses in a healthy dose of betrayal on all sides. If anybody who thought that Maia was an untouched innocent prior to this issue, those happy thoughts have likely been dispelled, […]

Video Game Review – Star Wars Battlefront
Tom Powter reviews Star Wars Battlefront… Star Wars Battlefront is both parts a stunning recreation of the much-loved original trilogy of films, and a disappointingly barebones first-person shooter. It’s interesting to see just how true to the films developer EA DICE’s vision for the game was – the world they have created is perhaps the […]
