He’s 25 years old this year, he’s blue, he’s spiky, he’d give Usain Bolt some decent competition. He’s the flagship character for one of the biggest names in the gaming industry, and in the 1990’s he had a bitter rivalry with an Italian plumber with an odd affection for mushrooms. His name is Sonic and he’s
Given how recently the movie was released, this review deliberately contains absolutely NO SPOILERS for the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. This doesn’t, however, protect you from any bad magic-related puns or a serious overuse of the word “fantastic”. The wizarding world of Harry Potter is once again on the big screen
Halloween has passed, the fireworks and bonfires have had their big night, that can mean only one thing, Christmas is coming. The lights and decorations are already starting to appear once more, and the release of the John Lewis Christmas advert has finally signalled the coming of the most magical time of the year –
I’ve already said it once in this latest wave of LEGO Dimensions expansion packs, Adventure Time is perfect for the transition to LEGO. It seems I’m not alone in that belief given that LEGO Dimensions have not only seen fit to release a level pack for the franchise, which I’ve already had the pleasure of
Adventure Time is one of those TV shows that you just know will work well in LEGO, in fact, I’m genuinely surprised that it hasn’t been considered before.

When there’s something strange in your LEGO multiverse, who you gonna call? Well a few months ago I’d have said, not Paul Feig, I admit that I was one of those 1980s fans who took one look at the trailer for the Ghostbusters reboot and questioned the quality. I finally did get the chance to
I’ve always had an interest in the Star Wars expanded Universe, I love the way that shows like Star Wars Rebels bridge the huge gap between the movies and introduce us to new and exciting characters. However, since Disney announced that pretty much anything outside of the movies is now considered non-canonical, the impact of
