Onrush is a racer I looked at in its Beta form, a few weeks back, and now it’s here in all its glory, with several modes including Superstar, which is as close to a campaign mode as we’re going to get. All you need to know is that you’re on blue team, and you’re vs […]
Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager centres around the former England football manager, but while the film lasts 99 minutes, the late, great man says at the start, “I remember everything. How long have you got(?)” Beginning in 1995, he talks about gonig to see the doctor about his sinuses, but how this turned out […]
Vampyr is the new game from DONTNOD, whose previous work includes the rather underrated Remember Me and Life is Strange. There aren’t many decent Vampire based games out there in all fairness. Yes, you have vampires in The Elder Scrolls, but proper games that you can get your teeth into are limited. Only 2 come […]
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is another sequel with a meaningless subtitle. Beforehand, I was anticipating yawning and a lot of watch-checking, and thinking that the only plus is that it’ll take people away from Solo: A Star Wars Story, as Disney really need to be taught a lesson, but then people have already given that […]
Journey’s End takes place towards the conclusion of World War I, for a few days from Monday, 18th March 1918 onwards, in St Quentin, Northern France. There’s a stalemate, and the Germans want to break this. It’ll mean an attack from their side, but as each company of soldiers must spend 6 days, out of […]
Movie Charts UK and US week ending June 10th 2018 are as follows:
Embargo Breakers – Why it hurts everyone who writes AND reads reviews for both films and videogames (although I talk about videogames, here).
PR companies sometimes set an embargo date/time for reviews to go live, but why? And if someone breaks it, why does it matter? Well, I shall tell you, and if also affects YOU!
This week, there are EIGHT new films out for you to choose from: horror in Hereditary, Timothy Spall is Stanley: A Man Of Variety, Sylvia Sims and Peter Bowles want to stay Together when circumstances force them apart, Sandra Bullock leads a potential new trilogy of heist movies in Oceans 8, Studio 54 is a new documentary about the famous 1970s New York City nightclub, Super Troopers 2 comes to cinemas 17 years after the original, Rupert Everett portrays Oscar Wilde in The Happy Prince, and in a small Romani community in Calabria, there’s a tale of teen rebellion in A Ciambra.
Hereditary, written and directed by Ari Aster and starring Toni Collette, and from the team behind The Visit and Split, means you quickly get where the trailer is heading.
Leslie Grantham has passed away this morning, and starred in a handful of bit-parts on TV, including Doctor Who: Resurrection of the Daleks, as Kiston, in 1982, at the time when Peter Davison was in charge of the TARDIS, but it was his role as Den Watts, aka ‘Dirty Den’, in Eastenders, which saw him come to the fore as the Queen Vic’s landlord, even to the point where he had the opening line, “Cor, it stinks in ‘ere!” as they broke into Reg Cox’s flat to find him ‘brown bread’ as they’d say in Cockneyland.
He certainly made his name in the show, with his divorce to Angie, on Christmas Day 1986, achieving whopping ratings of over 30 million viewers. Alas, you can’t be evil forever, and he was kiled off in 1989… only to return in 2003.
Video Games Charts week ending June 9th 2018 are as follows:
Don’t Buy This Remastered has been announced on the quiet at E3 2018, and we have the exclusive news for you.
A not very popular game back on its 1985 release, Don’t Buy This Remastered originally comprised of five terrible games, and this new version will be developed in-house by Sony, and their spokesman, Shawn Layden, said, “We’re really proud to show this off as our flagship product for 2018 because, y’know, everything we showed at E3 2018 looked good, but hey, none of it’s coming out this year! And you remember that debacle when we had a 30-minute intermission, just ten minutes in? Well, we were going to show this off, but we screwed up, but that’s the Sony way.”
A Quiet Place is due out on home formats soon, and is a true cultural phenomenon which transformed the film-going experience for millions of viewers. The film is a taut and original thriller which follows a family who must navigate their lives in silence, to avoid mysterious creatures that hunt by sound.
Knowing that even the slightest whisper or footstep can bring death, Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and Lee (John Krasinski) are determined to find a way to protect their children at all costs while they desperately search for a way to fight back. The film earned a 95% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and generated an extraordinary $175M+ at the domestic box office.
V-Rally 4 is coming, courtesy of Bigben and Kylotonn, and marks the return of the emblematic off-road racing game franchise.
A new trailer has been released which presents two of V-Rally 4‘s five disciplines in a spectacular trailer: V-Rally Cross and Buggy!
Normally, anything buggy is the last thing you want in a videogame, but in V-Rally, this is a different thing altogether 😉
V-Rally Cross races are intense battles with 7 other racers on tracks with a mix of dirt and asphalt, while lighter and more agile, buggies offer a different driving experience on particularly hazardous and spectacular courses.
V-Rally 4 is due out in September 2018 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, with the Nintendo Switch version available at a later date.
Check out the new trailer below:
Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot VR was also announced at E3 by Bethesda, and all we know about it at the moment is that you take the role of a resistance hacker… and you’ll shoot a lot of stuff, it appears.
As a resistance hacker, take control of Nazi war machines like the fire-breathing Panzerhund to dismantle the growing threat of Nazis forces in Paris. Set nearly two decades after the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, you’ll need to ram, gun down, and burn the regime to help aid the French resistance. Saddle up, Cyberpilot. You’re one of us now.
The Elder Scrolls VI was announced at E3 2018 and… that was pretty much it – just announced. In fact, they said even less about this than they did about Starfield!
