The Sony Xperia L shapes up well. The phone feels good in the hand, solid and yet responsive to touch and with a graceful design. It enjoys the integrated suite of Sony goodies as well as features like the Sony Fitbit app. The phone itself probably will not wow you. The thing is; the Xperia […]

A review of World of Darkness: The God Machine Chronicle
White Wolf’s World of Darkness: The God Machine Chronicle has topped the “Hottest Items” list for the publisher over at DriveThru RPG ever since it came out – so let’s take a look at it. First up, The God Machine Chronicle is not a complete rule set. You still need to have a copy of […]
A hands on review of the Xperia Tablet Z
Let’s talk about the specs later. It’s not the technical capabilities on Sony’s 10.1” tablet that grab your attention when you pick up the Xperia Tablet Z. What you notice is the size. This tablet feels very light. It’s very slim. I think this is important. In discussions with geeks who have tried to go […]
Eponymous review
Eponymous is a comic book from Mike Garley with art from Martin Simmonds and Letters by Mike Stock. I’d actually encountered the comic series before as it features in VS Comics #1 and other editions. VS is really strong and Eponymous was one of the many titles in the collection that I knew would be […]
First Squad review
First Squad is an anime set on the Eastern Front as Russia fought the Nazis. We watched it with English sub-titles and most of the dialogue was in Russian. The plot is straight forward with the twist at the start rather than the end. We follow a young woman, with a red blindfold and a […]
A review of Plague Nation by Dana Fredsti
Plague Nation is the second Ashley Parker novel and follows Plague Town. The third book, not out yet, is to be called Plague World so you can see how things are progressing. I reviewed Plague Town nearly a year ago and enjoyed it. It was a zombie novel that would appeal to zombie fans while […]
Rapture of the Nerds review: clever but weird
I came to Rapture of the Nerds not having read any Cory Doctorow outside his excellent articles on protecting the freedom of the internet and having read plenty of Charles Stross’ books but favouring the battle against ancient godlike beings beyond time and space from the Laundry Files. Rapture of the Nerds is a transhuman […]
The Geek Native hands on review of the HTC One
I’ve bought an HTC One. It wasn’t the one I wanted. I want 64GB in black but it was only possible to pre-order the 32GB. Then HTC announced they didn’t have the black in stock, we’d already suffered through delays, and the email suggested switching to silver and getting a free screen protector. I switched. […]
Atticus for the Undead review
A zombie shambles into a woman’s apartment. Her body is found later, torn, ripped and with her head missing. Hunter Gamble is the zombie’s lawyer and doesn’t think he is responsible for the crime. This is the set up for Atticus for the Undead. If, like me, the name Atticus immediately makes you think of […]
James P Blaylock’s Homunculus review
I came to James P Blaylock’s steampunk books via his most recent novel The Aylesford Skull. I enjoyed the book and decided to read through some of his previous books starting with Homonculus. What a surprise. This feels like a very different book. The first few pages almost feel as if a different author was […]
