Book Review – Rise of The Tomb Raider: The Official Art Book
Martin Carr reviews Rise of The Tomb Raider: The Official Art Book… This coffee table tome is reminiscent of those fancy photographic bibles produced by Taschen. Off limits to those who deemed themselves uncultured enough for a surreptitious browse. Something which Titan have thankfully sidestepped, whilst retaining the quality and discarding that highbrow elitism. To […]
Supergirl Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Human For a Day’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Supergirl, ‘Human For a Day’… With Charles Halford under loads of latex this week, Supergirl continues to be worth its network weight in gold.

Hardware Review – Blazetab
Villordsutch reviews the Blazetab… As a fan of Retrogaming or as a mature gamer I like to call them “proper games”, I currently have a cupboard that is bordering on a midlife crisis, along with a loft which holds the remains of my childhood carefully wrapped away for nobody to touch. I often get these odd […]
Arrow Season 4 Episode 9 Review – ‘Dark Waters’
Jessie Robertson reviews the ninth episode of Arrow season 4… Before we get into what happened, it’s time for fan-theory-crafting: Can this show actually kill off one of its main characters, for real this time?
