Feminism is an interesting thing. We all know it’s a good thing, there’s no doubt of that. But everyone’s interpretations of what feminism is to them can differ from person to person. Tom Neenan has his own way of being a feminist, but it’s…

So most people should be aware of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost. If not, let me bring you up to speed. A family move into an estate haunted by a nobleman who murdered his wife before vanishing. Despite Sir Simon’s most gruesome…

There’s a massive difference between the quality of 5 star shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. I can easily see why people might enjoy Dracula and want to give it 5 stars, but then compare it to other 5 star comedy plays such as Police Cops or…

You’d be forgiven for not knowing about The Pin. Even at The Fringe, while they have a particular fanbase, they stand very separately from mainstream comedy. But they’re not actually ‘alternative’. They’ve won several awards since 2013, and…

I was first attracted to A Joke, as most people probably were, by the wealth of acting experience on hand. For me, it was because it had two of my favourite actors starring in it, Doctor Who’s Sylvester McCoy and Star Trek: Voyager’s Robert…

Well, knock me down with a giant turnip truck: it’s only the ruddy Steam Summer Sale. Our lord and master Gabe Newell (all hail the Gabe) has gifted us some ball-bustingly good deals, so prepare to worry PayPal, ‘cause it’s time to spend…

TV series’ are a strange thing. No matter how popular they are, once they’re done, they’re done. Where movies can have countless sequels, TV shows tend to stay finished once the finale credits roll. But then again, judging by how these TV…

Developer: Midnight Hub Publisher: Midnight Hub Platform: PC Review code providedThe term ‘walking simulator’ gets used a lot these days, and often erroneously. It first appeared as a derogatory term, to describe a game which has no…

Myself and Jimbo Donnellan visited Rezzed this year. There were so many interesting and unique titles that we struggled to look at them all as some of them deserved to be kept an eye on, so here’s a quick snapshot of the indie games to…

We had a bit of an adventure while attending Rezzed 2018, managing to spend way too much on tube fares and jumping on a train seemingly at random before eventually following Outside Xtra’s Luke Westaway (or a close approximation of him) to…

Any point and click fan is sure to find something to like in the weird and sometimes wonderful Earthworms.
