When it swings, it swings hard. (Potential Spoilers) Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, is what I would call as a fun, entertaining and overall good improvement contrasted with the scattered mess of season 1’s approach to pacing and narrative structure. All that being said, this new season still has some issues with its overall pacing…

The fourth season instalment of HBO’s Industry is proof that allowing a show to breathe pays dividends. Industry season four is quite an achievement. It never pulls its punches and really makes you seep inside all the messy emotions that can plague the human psyche of its ensemble cast. What series creators Mickey Down and…

Microsoft trying to shore up some goodwill. I know it has been a couple of weeks since the last Xbox Developer Direct and I was trying to think about how best to approach all of this. On one hand, I am very much interested on the next slate of what Xbox has in store for…

The gaming audience and the gaming industry at large are feeling the effects of a trillionaire cooperation maximising profit and quarterly earnings and laying…

Director Paul Thomas Anderson strikes hard and fast in this gripping thriller. As I begin writing this review, I have to admit that I am not someone who is very much into Paul Thomas Anderson films. It is not that I do not appreciate his past films, or admire the way he crafts such messy…

There is a timeline in place… Today’s post I thought about looking into what Sony has presented in their recent ‘State of Play’, as to the upcoming slate of video games for 2025 and beyond. I shall look at things I found noteworthy and this is not in any way a summary of the entire…
