Villordsutch reviews The Story of U.S. Gold… Any child of the 1980’s – perhaps early 90’s too – will have the medallion of U.S. Gold burnt into their brain. You’ll possibly blink and it’s scarred onto your retina for it was emblazoned on virtually – what seemed like – every advert, game, free poster, bouncing novelty whatever. […]
Blu-ray Review – Witnesses: The Complete Season One
Villordsutch reviews Witnesses: The Complete Season One… As a fan of Nordic Noir I’m over the moon to see Witnesses: The Complete Season One arrive as a complete boxset on Blu-Ray.

Heroes Reborn Episode 3 Review – ‘Under the Mask’
Tai Freligh reviews episode three of Heroes Reborn, ‘Under the Mask’… It looks like we’ll be seeing all the story lines presented in the season premiere touched on in at least some manner in each episode. Whether they ALL tie together by the end remains to be seen. I like that they are using HRG as […]

Video Game Review – Overwatch
Tom Powter reviews Overwatch… Multiplayer only games have something of a bad reputation. They’re often seen as half-baked experiences with little-to-no longevity supplemented by paid season passes and additional content, an opinion exacerbated by titles like Titanfall and Evolve, whose player bases simply evaporated when the next big title appeared. This trail of thought has […]
