"This record is incredibly passionate, and it's got incredible lyrics. I've since become friends with Wes [Eisold, frontman] and he's a great guy, a great writer and musician, but this record just holds so much weight in my youth, at a time when I was quite lost and hardcore really picked me up. They were emerging at that time and they're from Boston, which just seemed violent to me, and I needed that violence in my life. I stage dove to American Nightmare in Camden Underworld in 2003 and dislocated my arm, and when I saw them play it was something hard to ignore. They looked like mods, like they should have lived in Brighton in the 70s. It was so weird to see a dude in skinny jeans, DMs, and a Fred Perry shirt but screaming his guts out in North London, surrounded by kids in black hoodies, it was bizarre. I still have it in my workout playlist now and that's a good 15 years on. When I hear the song 'AM/PM' it makes me want to stage dive again, and I love that it can make me feel like that so late in the day."

Rand (the main character) barely appears in this part of the series, which is good news as he's starting to get quite annoying.
Mat really starts to become the reluctant hero he truly is, and Perrin starts to show signs of what he is to become as well.
This is a fairly important part of the series with a number of conflicts with the Dark One's forces, including the Black Ajah and some of the Forsaken.
At this stage, the series is still moving apace and is thoroughly enjoyable.

2017 | Action
Perfectly crafted stage design, flawless controls, and an amazingly consistent flow of action (1 more)
Fun weapons, decent boss battles, and local co-op mode
Enemy design can be a little indistinct at times, and more stages would’ve been nice (0 more)
The spiritual sequel to Robotron becomes the definitive dual-stick shooter, Nex Machina is almost perfect, and one of the most successful collaborations between like-minded creators that gaming has ever seen.

Original Score: 9 out of 10

Flinch takes center stage in this fourth book in a middle grade series. Part James Bond spoof part adventure, it's another fun ride as everyone on earth starts trying to take it over. And the team survive a new school and figure out why everyone is turning evil and how to stop it? I've loved all of these books so far and can't wait for next year's entry already.

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
2012 | Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall … "

A reworking of the Snow White fairytale, with Kristen Stewart taking the lead role and Chris Hemsworth taking time out from his Thor duties to portray the part of the Huntsman ordered to capture her and bring her back to the evil Queen (here portrayed by Charlize Theron) before instead becoming her protector.

And, yes, there are seven dwarves in this, although Snow White does not live with them at any stage nor are they given names such as Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, etc ...
