I enjoyed Primeval: Extinction Event far more than I thought I would. This is not the case of me judging a book by the cover – that features the character Abby Maitland, played by the actress Hannah Spearrit and would therefore rate very highly – but me worrying too much about the troubled Primeval TV […]
A Shadow on the Glass review
I’ve finally finished Ian Irvine’s A Shadow on the Glass. This was the book that earned me the GetGlue sticker War and Peace because I was checking into the book for over a month. I’m pleased I got to the end but it was a struggle. Why was A Shadow on the Glass such a […]
Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies review
I was a zombie over the Christmas holidays. I caught something really nasty and was barely able to shuffle around the flat. I was, however, able to pick up and rip through Eddington and Fabbri’s impressive Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies. This is a fantastic graphic novel. Really, the title gives you summary. This […]
Pirates of Langkasuka review
This is a film with many names. It’s known as Pirates of Langkusaka in Europe, The Legend of the Tsunami Warrior in America and Puen Yai Jon Salad in Thailand. It is Thailand’s big cinema adventure and it’s been warmly received. It’s also sometimes known as the Queens of Langkasuka. It might be interesting to […]
King 2 review
As far as I know the sequel to King is simply called King 2. It rather feels it needs a witty sub-title that somehow manages to evoke feelings of Elvis, zombies and Mexican wrestling. King 2 gets off to a good start. Early on, as we read about Blacklist Studio there’s the standard disclaimer that […]
Lenore: Cooties review
I was introduced to Lenore via the trailer for Lenore #2. That trailer was all I needed to know about Lenore – she’s a cute little dead girl, she’s stalked by Mr Gosh and it seems she may be a little unstable herself. Okay, more than a little unstable but cutely so. The mastermind is […]
The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack
Mark Hodder’s debut novel is a Victorian steampunk history mashup. I’m always slightly cautious of historical mashups; surely real life heroes can’t be as interesting as fictional ones or what if you don’t like the treatment someone is given? At a glance The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack is taking a risk. Just look at […]
Betrayal at Falador review
Betrayal at Falador is the first official RuneScape novel. Jagex are doing great things with the brand and extending the reach of the game via the fantasy novel route only makes sense to me. The novel is by T.S. Church and published by Titan Books. While Betrayal at Falador is the first RuneScape novel it […]
Trigun Badlands Rumble review
The Trigun movie enjoyed its UK premiere as part of Scotland Loves Anime. Glasgow got the scoop and this week the feature-length anime made it to Edinburgh. Directed by Satoshi Nishimura, screenplay by Yasuko Kobayashi and storyboarding by Hideki Inoue, Soichi Masui and Satoshi Nishimura the movie has all the Trigun experience it has to […]
Facebook RPG: Endless Chaos
There’s still quite a lot of interest in D&D Tiny Adventures vanishing from Facebook. I can see people visiting Geek Native’s coverage of the story from back in May. I think that proves there is demand for a good RPG on Facebook. The folk at Peerflux have a new candidate for the unclaimed title of […]
