I've read the original Hunger Games trilogy.

I'd seen the quartet of movies based on those books.

I haven't read the prequel, on which this is based.

So I had little knowledge of what to expect, going in, other than that it centred on a young Cornelius Snow before he becomes the tyrannical president of the original films.

This film is very clearly split into 3 acts (each proceeded by a card naming such): The Mentor, The Prize and The Peacekeeper - with the first two of those three acts the better.

Final act drags on a bit.

The middle section is the bit set during the 10th annual Hunger Games, which - here - are far more 'basic', far more 'real' than that of the Jennifer Lawrence films, with Rachel Zeigler's Lucy Gray also more a performer forced to become a warrior than Lawrence's Everdeen (the exact opposite).

The sequel to both Insomniac's original "Spider-man" and to the 'interquel' "Spider-Man: Miles Morales", this tells an original tale that takes in both Kraven the Hunter and Venom as the two big-bads, following the tease of Peter Osborne in the end credits of the first Spider-man game.

While it may also have helped to have played Miles Morales in between (I did), I don't feel it is essential to enjoy the story of this (although I am sure you would miss some of the Easter Eggs, and maybe not have the same connection to the characters of Miles and his friends and family), with the plots of both briefly summarised in a "Previously on / who am I" segment at the very beginning of this.

And, yes, I'm sure there'll be a sequel: I'm actually surprised there hasn't (yet) been any add-on for this released!

If this really is the last we see of the Uncharted series, A Thief's End will have been a remarkable and surprisingly inventive farewell. More so than either sequel before it, Uncharted 4 builds on the formula in unexpected but natural ways
Critic- Ben Skipper
Original Score: 4.5 out of 5

I'm not a Trekkie fan by any means but I have to say I'm suprised so many rate this so highly? I found it rather slow and boring and void of any real action whatsoever. The borg can just be walked past half the time, hardly an intimidating or a fearsome enemy. The latest Star Trek film going back to how the original crew got together is the best by far.

The intense difficulty is squarely aimed at veteran Fire Emblem players, and its satisfying campaign is full of variety and challenge. And even though a win or loss can down to sheer luck, I walked away either satisfied or eager to give it another shot

Super Meat Boy is an exercise in patience. You may in fact deplore it in the first one or two hours due to its unforgiving gameplay and level design, but if you take the time to consume much of what it has to offer, you may just acquire a taste for it.
Critic- Joey Thurmond
Original Score: 8 out of 10
