Mortal Kombat II (Movie) – Review

Simon McQuoid returns with Mortal Kombat II, a louder, bloodier, and far more confident sequel that finally leans into the franchise’s ridiculousness without losing sight of its brutal spectacle.

Asteroid City (Movie) – Review

Every Wes Anderson film feels like that dream you have after you’ve eaten the leftover garlic gnocchi from three days ago; Far from a nightmare, but not quite all the way to “happy”, and there’s an area of imagination that is stained with coffee, dust and childhood heartbreak. We watch

Dead Space (Xbox Series X) – Review

The original Dead Space came out back in 2008 and instantly became one of my all-time favourite games. Even today, this science-fiction horror masterpiece still holds up, so when Motive and Electronic Arts announced a “Remake”, I was beyond excited to see what they would do with it. For those

M3GAN – Review

Blumhouse Productions have been on a bit of a tear lately; a dedicated bunch of people that wish to make us uncomfortable in our seats, screaming or cowering behind the nearest person. Their latest film, M3GAN, follows the evolution of a robotic Artificial Intelligence, and I would say it was

Doom Nintendo Switch Edition
