*Final review*


Finally finished the game! Did get a bit repetitive, with the banter between Zeus and Prometheus beginning to jar towards the end and, boy oh boy, do those Vaults get tiring ...

*Preliminary review*

Consider this as a preliminary review, as I'm only a few hours (if even) into the game, which I won as part of a Giveaway right here in Smashbomb.

As I'm not that far into it, I can only give general impressions: entertaining enough so far, with my nephew saying it reminds him of a PS4 version of The Legend of Zelda - never having played that game, I can't comment on the same!

What a cast, what a disappointment.
After playing the game for the first time recently, I was kind of excited to see the film, and to find out if Uwe Boll's movies were as bad as I'd heard. They are. It's hard to describe why this film is so bad, but unfortunately it is just dreadful.

For a film featuring the likes of Sir Ben Kingsley, Udo Kier, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, and even Meat Loaf, these big names do nothing to distract from the terrible writing, production quality and general laziness of the film.

Overall, avoid this like the plague!

What it’s about:
Belgium, July 1939: Simone and Hava are best friends. Simone’s father is a national hero, a famous general, and Hava is a Polish Jew.
When the Nazis invade in Spring 1940, Simone and Hava flee Brussels and the rules that dictate that they shouldn’t be friends.

My thoughts:
This book was an emotional rollercoaster. When I started reading it, I knew that there was going to be a high possibility that Hava and her family would suffer under the Nazis, but I wasn’t prepared for Simone’s single-mindedness to try and protect her friend. The attitudes of some of the Belgians and the acts of violence, were harrowing.

I haven't read anything by Ronald Malfi before and I do enjoy a good horror story every now and again and I'm pleased I did because out of the 5 short stories, there was only 1 I didn't particularly enjoy and that was The Separation but the other 4 more than made up for it.

Well written, great characters, a plethora of general creepiness, blood and gore ... what more could you want?

Mr Malfi is definitely an author I will look out for in the future and thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of They Lurk.

This is a short but sweet introduction to Sean and Jenna of the Kagan Wolf Pack. Sean is fighting against his wolf's instincts of claiming his 'place' within the pack. He refuses to shift and instead tries to drown out his wolf by drinking at the local bar instead. Everything is going well until he meets a female shifter who pushes all the right buttons, challenging him to act as her equal.

A good introduction to these two characters, whilst still leaving you wanting more in general. Definitely recommended as a quick but hot read.
