Digital cameras aimed at the sports market often resort to bulky designs and a lack of effort towards anything resembling style. Step forward Olympus and the Tough-6020. Boasting 14 megapixels and an HD movie mode, the people behind Olympus claim it can survive up to 5m underwater, -10oC … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Lodger review
It’s sitcom time in Doctor Who this week, as the man in tweed moves into a flatshare with James Corden, plays a bit of football and embarrasses himself whilst trying to fit in with the humans. For those who watched Third Rock From The Sun or Mork & Mindy, this may seem eerily familiar. Still, … [Read more...]
Doctor Who Adventure Games: City Of The Daleks review

Rather than a whole episode of Amy listing pros … [Read more...]
Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara Review
A little while ago I mentioned a couple of vibrating mascaras that proudly claimed to be the Next Big Thing in the world of cosmetics.

Ashes To Ashes: 5 questions the final two-parter must answer!
When Ashes To Ashes came to our screens in 2008, there was a general 'meh' reaction, with the odd 'really angry' thrown in there for good measure. Most were simply annoyed that it wasn't just like Life On Mars, while others really disliked our new hero, Alex Drake. But me, I loved it. I saw that it … [Read more...]
Review: Robin Hood
When this Robin Hood movie was first conceived, it was going to be called ‘Nottingham’, and feature Russell Crowe as a sympathetic Sheriff, tormented by that pesky outlaw.
