Rob reviews Edge of Eternity on Xbox Series X... When it comes to RPG's gamers are spoilt for choice. Regardless of how you play, and on what console, you're guaranteed to have an abundance of role-playing games to choose from. Naturally, with such a wealth of titles, some will be good, others will be bad, and the odd few get swept underneath the carpet. One such title aiming to be a cut above the rest is Edge of Eternity.  Developed by Midgar Studios , who are themselves a self confessed team of JRPG fans, Edge of Eternity is as much its own game as it is a homage to those past RPG greats. After a successful crowdfunding campaign and subsequent release on PC, Midgar Studios have brought their title to both Xbox and PlayStation consoles.  The story of Edge of Eternity is your typical JRPG tale of a world at war. A somewhat original story that's taken inspiration from the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles and Final Fantasy .  Edge of Eternity takes parts of each o...

Rob chats to writer Katie Cunningham about her upcoming graphic novel, Rotten Under The Snow... ' A city turned battlefield becomes stranger. Bizarrely mutilated bodies are found in the muddy snow of Leningrad.

As a former Night Witch, Dajana already has a fearsome reputation. This in enhanced further as she's sl...

Rob reviews 2000 AD Prog 2269... Prog 2270 is just around the corner, and with it comes a whole new selection of thrill-powered stories all in one 48-page bumper special.  So, whilst we have this to look forward to, this week we're back with another done-in-one Judge Dredd , more dangerous goings on in The Order and Proteus Vex , yet another Terror Tale , and finally, we say goodbye to Inspector Mucha as Saphir wraps up.  Judge Dredd: 5 In The Cubes Remember when you where a kid and all those after school clubs had a trip to the local police station? Mega-City 1 has that too! But rather than a quick trip to the station it's 5 hours in an Iso Cube. And to make it better Judge Dredd is leading the tour.  Arthur Wyatt is behind this latest done-in-one Dredd tale. We follow Juve, Chazzo Shelby as he's chosen to spend 5 hours in the Cube to hopefully steer him away from a projected life of crime.  5 In The Cubes is a great, simple strip that gives us a look ...
