It’s easy to see why Colourful is an award-winning anime. It’s the sort of feature-length that would appeal to judges. We start in a way station; somewhere between somewhere else, with people – or shapes of people – shuffling around before taking a line, getting a mysterious ticket and moving on. There’s an exception; a […]

Mi-Fi: 3’s Mobile Wi-Fi
This is a review of the latest Mi-Fi, aka mobile Wi-Fi, from 3. It’s an Huawei E568 device. If you’ve not heard of Huawei before, don’t worry, they’re a significant brand in this space. In fact, my 3G dongle I have from work is branded in the colours of a mobile network but my laptop […]
A first play of The One Ring
Michael McCabe, Mike, reached out to Geek Native through his influential web of contacts with an offer we could not refuse. The deal? He was about to play the brand new The One Ring RPG and was prepared to give us his gameplay impressions. Thanks Mike! Last week, a friend and fellow roleplayer received his […]
Marty Feldman: The Biography of a Comedy Legend review
I approached Robert Ross’s Marty Feldman biography with a degree of apprehension. Just to be clear, I approach any biography with apprehension. If I like the subject of the book then the biography risks shattering my perceptions and that’s a concern. In this case I was not all that aware of whom Marty Feldman was. […]
Bioshock: Rapture review
No, you’ve not missed out on a Bioshock game. Bioshock: Rapture is a book. It’s a prequel from Titan Books and author John Shirley and is an engaging tale of the rise and fall of Andrew Ryan’s empire. I’ve spent hours in front of Bioshock. Never actually played it myself, though, it was always one […]
The One Ring: Adventures over the Edge of the Wild RPG review
The One Ring RPG is the latest Lord of the Rings roleplaying games. My main aspiration when I bought the game, buying it as a pre-order, was that it felt like Lord of the Rings. I think we all have our own take on Lord of the Rings. We now even have a generation of […]
Mobile Review: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Sony Ericsson have been among the earliest providers of consumer friendly smartphone technology, long before the term ‘smartphone’ gained widespread traction among today’s increasingly mobile-savvy shoppers. Throughout the early to mid noughties they produced a line of Symbian-driven touchscreen handsets that helped define a vision of what convergence devices had to offer. Over the past […]
Bloodshot review
Bloodshot is a vampire novel from Cherie Priest. Back in July I was able to interview Cherie about Bloodshot. It’s a few weeks later so time to share a reviewers thoughts on her book. I doubt I would have picked Bloodshot up from the shelves simply because it is another vampire novel. Harsh? Perhaps. As […]
John Dies At the End review
This is a happy story. David Wong had a dull and hard data entry job. When that finished he’d go to his other dull and hard data entry job. Somehow he found time to pull together some thoughts for publication on the web. A few people read these words in the first year. That’s the […]
Lost Fleet: Dauntless review
It’s rare – but sometimes being late can be an advantage. I’m late to Jack Campbell’s “Lost Fleet” series. I’m so late that Titan Books are now publishing enhanced copies of the original series. My copy of Lost Fleet: Dauntless has extra material in it. I liked Dauntless a lot. This example may illustrate precisely […]
