WWE: The Best of WCW Monday Night Nitro Vol.2 DVD review
The Best Of Raw and Smackdown 2012 DVD review
Each week almost 14 million viewers in the U.S alone tune in to be entertained as WWE Superstars, Divas and Legends perform on Monday night Raw and Friday night Smackdown, with millions more tuning in around the globe. Each and everyone of those (us) viewers were spoilt in 2012, which was a huge year for the WWE, both in and out of the ring. Wars were fought, legends were born, records were broken, and familiar faces returned. It was a real unmissable...
The Accelerators #1 review
Have you ever wondered who would win if a Nazi soldier went one-on-one with a caveman, or what might happen if a Knight of the Realm went head-to-head with a 1950s gangster? Who hasn’t right? Now imagine that mixed in with an event filled manhunt through time and you have the premise of the opening issue of the all new indie comic The Accelerators.
Written and created by R.F.I Porto, drawn by Gavin P. Smith and published by Blue Juice Comics, The...
Doctor Who Series 7 Episode 13 Review: Nightmare in Silver
Directed by Stephen Woolfenden
Written by Neil Gaiman
Starring Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman
When you’ve written one of the best episodes of Doctor Who in recent memory, The Doctor’s Wife, a wonderful tale of the TARDIS, where do you go next?
You take one of the Doctor’s (Matt Smith) greatest foes – the Cybermen – and you make them more sinister than ever in potentially the best episode this series.
Then again, you are Neil Gaiman....
Star Trek Into Darkness Review
There is a general pattern many hold with the Star Trek movies: The even-numbered movies are superior to the odd-numbered ones. While fans acknowledged this rule of sorts, later instalments such as Star Trek: Nemesis (the tenth movie) didn’t entirely support the notion. Then came 2009’s reboot to the Star Trek motion picture franchise, which could be seen as either the eleventh or the first in the line of new Star Trek movies. And it was brilliant.

Doctor Who Series 7 Episode 12 Review: The Crimson Horror
Directed by Saul Metzstein
Written by Mark Gatiss
Starring Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman
The Doctor (Matt Smith) and Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) once again find themselves in the Victorian-era this week, though arguably, it’s a story that’s not entirely theirs, for returning characters Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny (Catrin Stewart) and Strax (Dan Starkey) take more of the stage on an investigation of their own this time.
It appears...
Star Trek: The Video Game Review
Oh Star Trek: The Video Game, I had such high hopes for you. You appeared to be doing so well when we spent some time together a few months back. What happened to you?
When I played a demo of the game previewed back in February, I was pretty positive about it. What I’d seen looked a step above your average movie release tie-in game. The unfortunate truth, as is sometimes the case, is that the section we were shown at that event didn’t...
Strike Suit Infinity Review
From its crisp frame rate to stunning visuals Strike Suit Zero was an ambitious game. Avoiding several of the pitfalls it could have stumbled into along the way, it made only a couple of small design mistakes that I felt could have been improved. The studio behind the game, Born Ready Games, is now releasing Strike Suit Infinity, a game which is mechanically near identical, but takes the focus away from a story campaign and shifts it more onto...
DVD Review: Spartacus: War of the Damned
Spartacus: War of the Damned is the third series inspired by the story of the Thracian gladiator Spartacus and his journey from gladiator in the arenas of Italy to the leader of a rebel uprising in the years 73 to 71 BCE.
Produced by Steven S. DeKnight and Robert Tapert, the series has garnered a reputation since it first debuted in January 2010 for its no holds barred telling of the story via its use of often graphic scenes of violence and sex in...
