Products and services are now available that would not have been without the show. Thanks to the BBC, addiction to Reggae Reggae sauce exists! It would…

  • Spider Jack

    It is safe to assume that the majority of people do not like spiders. Whether this is down to them having 8 legs or scuttling across rooms and up walls. Arachnophobia is one of the most common fears in people. Spiders aren’t really the bad guys. Yes they are a little creepy and too fast…

  • Destructopus!

    Octopi are solemn, intelligent and often found in the ocean. They are not ostentatious in anyway. The same cannot be said for Destructopus!, our hero in the new iOS game of the same name. Angered by the force of humanity, with a constant quest for oil and complete disregard for the delicate balance of nature,…

  • Thor: God of Thunder

  • Moon Diver

    Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and The Mana series are games that spring to mind when Square-Enix are mentioned. There is one thing in common with those titles, the RPG element. They have the genre down to a tee and it is a rare and refreshing to see them attempt something that they are not accustomed…

  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    Mario is one of the world’s most recognisable characters in the video game history if not the entertainment industry as a whole. This is some achievement for a fat Italian plumber who first appeared trying to save his girlfriend from a giant monkey. The man can turn his hand to anything, painting, playing sports, driving…
