Caped Crusader Reviews: Batman Begins...

After the nightmare that was Batman and Robin, the future for the caped crusader in film looked pretty grim. At one point, Warner Bros. even considered having Joel Schumacher make another one called “Batman Triumphant”. Thankfully, Christopher Nolan stepped in and decided that he wanted to make a more serious depiction of the character which focused on his origin. What…

Caped Crusader Reviews: Batman Returns...

After the success of Tim Burton’s first Batman film, it was a no-brainer to continue the adventures of the dark knight with a sequel. This time, Batman is pitted against the feisty feline Catwoman and the fish-mutant known as the Penguin. Without further ado, here’s my review of Batman Returns. The film begins 33 years in the past, as the Penguin is…

I’ll be releasing a review weekly, going all the way up to…

All I can say is that I am still in awe of how amazing this film was. In my opinion, this was the best film in the Harry Potter saga, and when combining…

Nintendo 3DS

3D? That’s just a fad. Stupid glasses – what? 3D without glasses? Hmmmm… Wow. Wow. Wow. I’ve had my DS Lite for about 5 years now, and when the DSi and DSi LL were announced I barely batted an eyelash. But this, the Nintendo 3DS… I knew I had to get this from the moment I heard about it. So…

Portal 2

The long awaited sequel to Valve’s breakthrough 2007 hit Portal hit Steam and store shelves 2 days ago, and having frantically watched the clock until I was able to install the game (because I was definitely not going to download 10GB), I began to play it. I still haven’t finished it, but from what I can tell, here’s my review… Portal 2…

Citizen Brown Review

The latest episode of Telltale’s current episodic series, Back to the Future: The Game released today, and of course I played it straight away. And here’s what I decided… This is definitely the best episode of the Back to the Future Game so far. But in no way does that make it an “excellent game”. But, that’s not being mean,…

Film Review: Harry Potter and the...

Well, we finally have a review for the new Potter flick, 2 reviews actually, the first one by Matthew West. Harry Potter has always been a very nostalgic series in both the books and films; with its magical atmosphere, brilliantly quirky characters and an epic story to boot, it stands to reason that the stories of the boy wizard have…
