Pegged as a game creation software that literally lets you customize, play and create in a far more intuitive and responsive manner than that of Little Big Planet, it’s taken a good 5 years since then for the full game to be released. That’s to say nothing of the initial game concept being pitched back in 2013....

A Tonally Sound, Mediocre Indie Film The interesting thing with Indie film Edge Of Isolation is just how well it manages to execute the uneasy tension seeping through every part of the film. Not once does the relentless tension let up and in that respect, the film does well to hide some of the questionable acting and basic visual effects on display here. There are moments where the narrative runs dry and some weak chemistry between the two lead characters certainly hold this back from being better but despite the flaws, Edge Of Isolation just about manages to hold it together for the satisfying and action packed finale....

A Feel-Good Underdog Tale I have a real love/hate relationship with wrestling and the WWE. On the one hand, I absolutely love NXT and some of the best matches I’ve ever seen have been on this show. No other sport manages to conjure up such enthralling storylines all woven together into a narrative told with two (or more) people’s bodies. It’s extraordinary stuff and once you’re hooked, it’s very difficult to put away....
