Look Who’s back

May 5th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog | Television - (0 Comments)

Well, well. Look who’s come to take over our Saturday evenings, TARDIS in tow and a brand new companion. Doctor Who is back to liven up our weekends and I couldn’t be happier. Strictly speaking of course, it’s not Jenna Louise Coleman’s first outing with Matt Smith’s time travelling intergalactic fixer. She has made two … Read more

TRAVESTY! Plus Japan 2

April 3rd, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (1 Comments)

  Before I go on to discuss Japanese excitement, I am most certainly NOT going to draw your attention to DigitalSpy’s review of the latest Tomb Raider game. I am definitely not going to mention the fact that the review wastes around 500 words talking about a GAME as if it were a FILM. And … Read more

In The Flesh – review

April 1st, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

Whoa, it’s been a while since I updated this … Much has happened. Some of it was exciting, some wasn’t. So I won’t bore you. However, one of the REALLY exciting things that happened was that I got to play Keyboard 2 for Fame: The Musical. It was one of the best things I’ve ever … Read more

The Old Republic – first impressions

February 26th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

Whoa, this blog is quickly turning into a gaming publication. Which is odd in itself as it’s a hobby I fit in at the end of the day, around all my other pastimes. (Not that I don’t like it – I actually think it’s pretty much the most diverse art form out there. Think about … Read more

Incoming Tomb Raider

February 20th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

Oh, the conflict. In two weeks, a once-wondrous thing is going to happen, with the release of the latest Tomb Raider game (which is imaginatively entitled ‘Tomb Raider’). Regular readers (OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY!) will know me as a rather, uh, passionate fanatic who was utterly disappointed with Legend and its sequels. I fell … Read more

In anticipation of Tokyo

February 9th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

Covering alcohol and Obon Well, hello. Thanks for stopping by! Those readers who don’t know – which will be the majority as I’ve told practically no-one other than work colleagues – I’ve this week booked a holiday to Japan with my friends. We’re going for two weeks in August, and I’m so excited I want … Read more

Star Wars: KOTOR

February 4th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

Does anyone remember Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic? I fricken’ loved those games. Days I spent battling Rakgauls under Taris, hair-raising swoop-bike races and generally exploring the Star Wars universe. December 2011 saw the latest continuation (it’s not really a sequel) in the series, entitled The Old Republic (TOR), which saw fit to … Read more

Miserable Les – review

January 30th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

I finally got around to seeing the Les Miserables film this weekend. Being a somewhat, uh, obsessive fan(atic) of the stage show, I was a little concerned how things were going to play out. The few reviews I read seemed to focus on the obvious – ie: Russell Crowe can’t sing and it’s a harrowing … Read more

The Long Earth – review

January 27th, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

One step closer All right, all right. Time to come clean. Sure, The Long Earth has actually been out since June 2012, so you’re probably under the impression I’m an extremely slow reader. That’s not actually the case. However, I am a little behind the times, which is surprising because I adore Sir Terry Pratchett. … Read more

New portfolio and Les Miserables news

January 22nd, 2013 | Posted by Alex Page in Blog - (0 Comments)

So – I did it. I finally got around to turning my journalistic portfolio into something both pretty and functional. Sure, it took nine-and-a-half hours and I have accomplished NOTHING else today, but it is done. Now I don’t have to go near the wretched thing for another six months at least, by which time … Read more
