What a difference a day makes!” sings Dinah Washington repeatedly in Waves, a powerful drama from writer/director Trey Edward Shults in which the tragic events of one seismic day forever change the lives of one middle-class Florida family. Neatly divided into two halves, the film starts by showing how bad …

There’s a cute new creature in Frozen 2 – a fiery gecko-like creature that could’ve escaped from Pokémon – that almost sums up the whole sequel. It’s fun, looks great and is sure to delight kids, but you’re never entirely convinced about the point of its existence. When Frozen opened …

Sega may have uncovered the cheapest form of time-travel there is with the Sega Genesis Mini. Take one look at its box and you’re suddenly yanked by the neck to another place entirely (1991, for most); a place where Pogs are still cool and everyone has a Tamagotchi they’ve forgotten …

There may be a time when – as a huge rugby fan like me – you’re tempted to play Rugby 18. You may be drunk. It may be on Amazon for less than £5 (or the local currency of your choice). You may just be so desperate to experience a …

The new Star Trek: Discovery (opens in new tab) show has slowly been revealing itself to the world and one thing’s got everyone’s attention: the new look Klingons. They’re not your usual bumpy headed aliens with anger management issues, and some are not happy about it (opens in new tab). …

Few gaming moments were as transformative as standing in Hyrule Field in Ocarina of Time, looking up at Death Mountain and realising that, yes, you could get from here to there.
