Will Reviews – Exoprimal
I’m no stranger to content with mech suits or power armour. I’m not going to bog this down with a debate over what the difference is, you should all know by now. Samus Aran: Power armour. Armaro Ray: mech suit. Anyway, my itch for a bit of exosuit...
Alexx Reviews – Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop

What Exactly Is Woh The Warrior?
I haven’t seen anyone else say this at time of writing (10th July) so I’m just going to come out and say it; it’s clear to me that the release of Woh the Weeping Weirdo at the start of this month is NOT the same EP which was allegedly finished and...

Is NSO Worth It?

AEW Dynamite Review – July 5th
It’s clear we’re once again entering what has become a very clear and obvious phase in AEW’s television cycle. The show is currently far enough away from the last PPV, but too far from the next one to really be gathering any steam, a continuous...

AEW Dynamite Review – June 28th
Is there such a thing as too much AEW? Personally I love it, especially with All In at Wembley now on the horizon, but with Rampage, Collision, Forbidden Door and even the release of Fight Forever all taking place between the last episode of Dynamite I reviewed,...
AEW Fight Forever Review

Lies of P is Now My Most Anticipated Game of the Year!
I have always been a huge Spider-Man fan. Ever since I was around 8 years old and the nerdy kid in my school with no friends, I have found a certain kinship with Spidey that has never gone away and remains despite being in my 30’s now. Every time a game is released I...

AEW Collision Review

AEW Dynamite Review – June 14th

AEW Dynamite Review – May 31
The first Dynamite following a big PPV can sometimes act as a reset for AEW, and that certainly felt like the case with this week’s episode. Taking a look at previous Dynamite reviews, they can fall anywhere between a 6 and a 9. Love it or hate it, there’s...Link and his Ladies

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Review
While I do love an old adversary coming crawling back after a feud, I can also admit when I am wrong when it is I who must do the crawling. I was very vocally critical of Horizon Forbidden West last year for absolutely fumbling the end of its story and side-lining...
