Sheer Mag remind us why ‘Dad Rock’ is worth reconsidering.
Let’s keep this one short. If 2015 taught us one thing, it’s that your preconceived notions of what is right or wrong can change in an instant. Young Thug taught us that hip-hop can be literally anything you want it

Jurassic World succeeds as a sequel, but fails to emulate the wonder of the original
Around the beginning of Jurassic World, there’s an interesting scene-setter in which Bryce Dallas Howard’s character explains that “consumers want them bigger, louder, more teeth”. This not only summarises the struggles of operating any kind of attraction in the modern world, but

With the recent bugginess of Assassin’s Creed Unity, and the internet’s general consensus that Far Cry 4 is “just more Far Cry’, I decided to ignore all of that nonsense and sit down with one of my favourite games ever;
