Review by Matt S. Back when I was at university I tended to keep funny hours and do most of my work very late at night. I found myself more productive at that time. Being a film student, I’d also often have the TV on in the background with whatever…

Read MoreRetro by Matt S. Given that it’s Halloween tonight and all, I felt like I should do something on horror games. Rather than cover one of the newer horror games (which, for the most part, we’ve already covered), I thought that I would instead go the exact opposite direction, and…
Read MoreHalloween’s getting close now, so naturally there’s a bunch of new horror game releases, and of course we take the opportunity to talk about that in this week’s podcast! We also have a good ol’ chat about Lord of the Rings, and what an awful job the new Middle-earth: Shadow…
