The Dreams in the Witch House
By H.P. Lovecraft

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Plagued by insane nightmare visions, Walter Gilman seeks help in MiskatonicUniversity's infamous library of forbidden books, where, in the pages of Abdul Alhazred's dreaded Necronomicon, he finds terrible hints that seem to connect his own studies in advanced mathematics with the fantastic legends of elder magic. "The Dreams in the Witch House," gathered together here with more than twenty other tales of terror, exemplifies H. P. Lovecraft's primacy among twentieth-century American horror writers. greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale. (Stephen King)

*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!

The Legend of Zelda's Finest Hour

If there was only one game I could rate an 11 on Smashbomb, Ocarina of Time would be that game. There are many reasons it holds the highest aggregate review score of all-time in the game industry. I could go into all of them, but I simply don't have the time, and no one would probably want to read this for that long. All I will say is, the first time you exit Kokiri Forest and head out into Hyrule Plain, you'll be hooked.

Addictive

Smashbomb is the only reviewing app I look forward to using. I could spend hours on it, which is why I have to limit the time I spend on here. It has so many things, I have used peoples reviews here to help me pick the next board game/ book I will read. It helps me be more analytical on what makes something good by asking me to supply good and bad points to everything. I can't wait to see how it grows

WOW

Full Disclosure: I won a digital copy of this book through a Smashbomb giveaway.
It was an Amazing read. I was hooked from the first sentence. I enjoyed the unique way the story was told, and I felt like Paige every time she asked what happened next? It was a great story, even sad as it was, and I really enjoyed that it talked about something so real. As far as the writing style though, I did skim through some spots and only read the dialog because I was much more interested in Ava's story than in what drink or snack they were getting from the coffee shop girl next. Overall, I enjoyed the story though.

Fun keyring

I won this cute keyring through a Smashbomb giveaway and I was quite excited to receive it. I do own other Funko Pop keyrings so I was interested to see how it would compare. First impressions, it is a little smaller than I expected but I guess it has to be to be functional as a keyring. I am a fan of Game of Thrones and I was quite impressed by the little details on the Jon Snow keyring. I liked the little scars on his face and the detail on his clothes. All in all, I think this is a really fun little product.

Epic Series

Three seasons in, and I am still enjoying it. There is a lot of intrigue around Eleven, and the Upside down. Though we are still waiting for season 2's side quest in the city to pay off, there are plenty of rewards for regular viewers.
With its great casting, epic cinematography, and all the 80s throwbacks, it's a great for all.
Just try and dislike those kids, I dare you.
It is tense, fun and witty, with some high stakes and great plot twists. Well worth a watch.
Thanks to a Smashbomb competition win, I now have a Demigorgan Funko Pop for my collection.
Almost as creepy as the real thing.

Hey Smashbombers,

Here is this weeks 'Top 10' list - This week I've chosen 10 of the highest rated TV shows here on Smashbomb.

I've chosen shows that have more than one season, so that if you're a bit bored at the minute, these will give you something to watch!

The aim of these weekly 'Top 10' lists is to provide you with items that can be discovered from home, and could be useful/helpful in passing the time/keeping in touch with family&friends/learning something new, etc. in this difficult time.
Let me know if you have any suggestions/requests for items or lists to do next!

Stay Safe & Happy Reviewing!
Ollie.
