Pacific Rim: Uprising follows on from 2013’s Pacific Rim, and I’d never seen the original beforehand so watched it before settling down to this. Back then, the arm were battling Kaiju with big mech-robots called Jaegars, but after a few years, the Kaiju had evolved and the remaining Jaegars are no longer fit for purpose, […]

Mission Impossible: Fallout has such a title because Fallout relates to nuclear weapons, and with three plutonium warheads out there – and in the hands of a gang called The Apostles – they could be set off anywhere at any time with devastating consequences and, so, must be stopped. That’s the mission that Ethan Hunt […]

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 brings together 8 games from a videogame series which began with Mega Man, and which has been running since 1987, but prior to this, I’ve never played a single entry from it in my life. After the amount of enjoyment this compilation has given me, I have […]
