The UK Online Safety Act 2023 is now in Effect and is a Disaster

Do I even need to say it at this point? Increasingly, as we march lock-step into a blend of Judge Dredd and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep sci-fi rather than Star Trek, more and more governments are finding ways to actively…

Oh, Hi! (Movie) Review

I am not someone who typically watches romantic films. There are a few love stories that I enjoy, and there are relationships in films that I always root for. However, I don’t often see romantic films in theaters. So when I went…

King Arthur: Knight’s Tale (PC) Review

I’d like to share the exact thought that piqued my interest beyond the point of no return when I started researching King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. “Why, this looks like XCOM meets Darkest Dungeon meets Arthurian mythology. Well, sign me right the heck…

Eureka “Duck, Duck Goose” – Review

Set on the side of World War 2 where we thought Hitler was still scum, up there with Joanne Rowling, Margret Thatcher, and one guy who lives around your place who can’t park for toffee. Ground of Aces is one of my…

Hell Clock (PC) Review

One of the most interesting trailers (and announcements) I saw during Summer Game Fest this year was for a game called Hell Clock. Based on a real-world event, The War of Canudos in Brazil in 1896, Hell Clock reframes a real historical…

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars (PC) Review

It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for most 4X turn-based strategy games. When I had a cursory look at the Steam Store page for Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, I thought it might be kind of like a more advanced Sid Meier’s…
