Blu-ray Review: Me Before You

William Traynor (Claflin) has it all: wealth, a good career, a beautiful girlfriend and a fearless approach to life that has him jetting around the world… until one day he’s struck by a motorist while walking and is left a quadriplegic. Although his brain is intact, the damage to his body sours him on life, and his family has trouble finding a caregiver that will stay on to look after him.

Video Game Review: Hitman: Episode 4

Staying at the Himmapan are a pair of unsavoury characters: Jordan Cross, acclaimed Indie rock singer and son of billionaire Thomas Cross, and Ken Morgan, the family’s attorney. Whatever thread has been holding previous episodes together is ostensibly absent here, as it’s made clear this is a private contract taken out by the family of Hannah Highmoore, the alleged murder victim of Jordan — a crime that was covered up by the unscrupulous Morgan.

Blu-ray Review: The Nice Guys

Despite being a comedy, The Nice Guys also tells an interesting story. The mystery contains multiple layers along with a few twists and turns, creating enough ambiguity along the way that you’re not quite sure where it’s going until the end. This is helped by some smartly written dialogue as Black walks a fine line between laughs and serious moments.

Video Game Review: Bound

Presentation is where Bound does its best work, creating a truly surreal world that shifts and undulates as you dance across it. We’ve reviewed hundreds of games, and we can’t think of one that comes all that close to matching what’s offered up here — Bound is modern art mixed with ballet. Screenshots can’t really do it justice because you have to see the ground pulse and watch as countless tiny shapes pursue and engulf you. It’s a sight to behold.

Video Game Review: I Am Setsuna

In typical JRPG fashion, up to three characters can actively take part in battles (inactive members still earn half the experience). Each carries a class-specific weapon and can equip talismans that provide unique buffs and additional slots for “Spritnite,” which is the game’s version of magic — Spritnite recipes are assembled from the materials dropped by defeated monsters.
