Film Review: Resident Evil 5 - Retribution

4th October 2012

Resident Evil 5 is never going to win any Oscars or anything like that, but for mindless entertainment, blood, guns and terrible acting, it's something to fill a grey autumn afternoon (that isn’t too taxing on your brain).

John Cooper Clarke - Norwich Arts Centre

3rd October 2012

He emerged onto the stage just after 9pm, hair wired upright wearing his iconic suit and rose tinted glasses. Opening with his infamous 'set list', his delivery of old but not aged jokes are made subsequently funnier buy his own laughter echoing behind him. It remains obvious that he has, in fact, >>

Record review: Muse - The 2nd Law

Record review: Muse - The 2nd Law

26th September 2012

Muse return with their sixth studio album, and it's a bit if a hodge-podge of various styles. Matt Bellamy wasn’t too far off when he tweeted it would be a "Christian-gangsta-rap-jazz-odyssey, with some ambient-rebellious-dubstep and face melting metal flamenco-cowboy-psychedelia".

24th September 2012

Devin has always been one to go with releasing what he has in his head, rather than worrying about what the current trend might be or what might sell the most records. His back catalogue over the years is varied to say the least, ranging from the extreme ‘wall of sound’ metal made famous by >>

Game Review: Rock Band Blitz

23rd September 2012

Rock Band Blitz is an odd one; to take away the one thing that made Harmonix's previous titles in the franchise what they are seems like one of the strangest manoeuvres ever witnessed in the games industry. However, as it turns out giant plastic instruments aren't the only thing that make a Rock >>

Car Review: Volkswagen CC GT 2.0 TDI (170ps) BlueMotion

21st September 2012

Volkswagen’s CC is a good example of how you can turn an ordinary saloon in to a much more exciting and appealing product. It may not serve up the driving thrills of a traditional coupe or the cabin space and practicality of a saloon but it sits in a rather alluring middle ground between the two.

Live Review: Fu Manchu - Ruby Lounge, Manchester

19th September 2012

Manchester has little in common with California. Beasley Street’s dirty days seem a far cry from Hollywood Boulevard, where the sun never stops shining. But in the dark basement of the Ruby Lounge, Fu Manchu took to the stage and battered Manchester with a psych-laden sandstorm straight from the >>

Steve Vai - The Story Of Light

19th September 2012

Steve Vai is the Marmite (other yeast extract spreads are available) of the guitar world. Talk to any guitarist and they will have an opinion to offer, likely to be either ‘stunning, virtuoso talent’ or ‘widdly, wanky stuff with no emotion’.

Film Review: Now is Good

19th September 2012

Prior to watching, I had misgivings. Could Dakota Fanning (aka whiny girl “Rachel" from “War of the Worlds” and strange and freaky vampiress “Jane”, from the “Twilight” saga) really pull off portraying a terminally ill British teen?

“This time travel crap fries your brain like an egg,” gruffs Jeff Daniels’ ageing Mafia boss Abe towards the start of Rian Johnson’sthird directorial offering. It’s as much a mission statement of bold direction as a plot contrivance. Setting himself the challenge of emulating and >>

The Tekken series is one which has a special place in my heart, it manages to be something I can pick up and play time and time again and never get bored of, no matter how much it makes me want to snap the disk in half when things aren’t going my way. My earliest [...]
