Welcome to the Nimble Entertainment Reviews Depot!

Hi there, thanks for checking out my brand new feed! I would like to take a few minutes of your time to explain why I have launched this and what I plan to do here.  While I have had my own gaming blog for over a decade now, I have often felt a wish to also review other forms of media, such as movies, TV and books (not so much music, but that may also happen from time to time).  I go to the cinema frequently, in fact more than I have ever done before thanks to the fact that my local cinema only charges £2.50 per ticket on a week night and £3.50 on the weekend (it is the Picturedrome in Bognor Regis if you're interested, and it's well worth a visit).

I also watch lot of different TV series via Netflix, Prime Video and fairly soon, Disney+ (the service will be launching in March in the UK).  I haven't really read a ton of books over the last few years, but that is something I hope to rectify.  I've just started the first volume of the Witcher series, The Last Wish and I'm finding it quite nice and easy to get through thanks to the short story format.  I should be done with it within a week or so, so I'll be sure to come back here and share my thoughts with you.  Of course I can't ignore my number one passion either, which is gaming, so on top of everything else I will be posting game reviews here too, as well as on my dedicated gaming blog.

So that's what I will be talking about, so now to go over the format that these reviews will take. You see, I also want these reviews to be available as a Flash Briefing on Alexa devices (which you may already be hearing this on if all goes well), so I intend to keep them fairly short and to the point.  No breaking things down into categories like I have done with my game reviews in the past - just 500 or so words giving my opinion about something from the world of film, television, gaming, fiction or non fiction books that I have finished recently. I already have a number of things I would like to talk about, including: Little Women, The Mandalorian, The Witcher Netflix series, Lost in Space, Treadstone, Yakuza Kiwami 2 and more. I should be back with my first proper post tomorrow.  Also, if you notice the layout and the widgets changing quite a bit over the next few weeks or so, please bear with me - I'm still trying to decide how I want this blog to look!

I should have another post for you tomorrow, time permitting, so please bookmark this blog and come back again then.  Thanks for tuning in!

Movies: 1917

1917 is the latest film from the highly acclaimed director, Sam Mendes, who recently gave us one really great Bond movie in the form of Skyfall, and one rather bad one in the form of Spectre. The story for this new film is based on a tale that young Sam's grandfather used to tell him, of a vital World War I mission to try and prevent the unnecessary loss of thousands of lives. As Colin Firth explains to us all, another General believes that the Germans have retreated, but thanks to aerial surveillance photos Firth's General now knows that is a trap and they are lying in wait. ready to mow anyone down who is foolish to charge. A young soldier by the name of Lance Corporal Blake, played by Dean-Charles Chapman, is given the task of travelling through previously occupied enemy territory to try and reach the other General before he sends his men into certain death.  Blake is told to choose one other soldier to help and support him in this task, and he chooses Lance Corporal Schof...

My 2020 gaming list - part one

No gaming review for you this week - I haven't managed to finish anything lately or spend much time with retro games, so I'm not really ready to share my opinions on anything.  I am more than half way through Yakuza 3, part of the way into God of War and Watch Dogs 2, and I just started playing through Simon the Sorcerer yesterday.  In the meantime I'm going to share with you my list of games that I'm looking forward to this year.  If this gets too long then there will be a second part.  I'm also going to do the same thing for movies and TV so watch out for those articles if you're interested. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore for the Nintendo Switch. I have just received my copy of this but I have yet to put it in my Switch and start playing.  This used to be a Wii U exclusive, one of the few that were left to be ported to another console, but now it's here and can be played portably, which is fantastic.  It's a JRPG which takes bits of the Shin Megam...

My 2020 gaming list - part two

It's time for part two of my 2020 gaming list, so let's get on with it! Doom Eternal for the Xbox One. The modern Doom reboot from a few years ago is getting a sequel, which is due out in March.  Journalists recently got to play the finished game for three hours, and it's looking pretty good.  The same fast paced, visceral combat from the first game returns, combined with new platforming sections and abilities for Doomguy.  Of all the games in this list this is actually one of the games I'm looking forward to the least, so I may not rush out to get it on release day.  I will pick it up eventually though. Persona 5: Royal for the PlayStation 4. This is a revamped and expanded version of Persona 5, much like Persona 4: Golden on the Vita.  It adds more story, more characters and more dungeons to the existing campaign, which was already over 100 hours long! I never actually got around to completing the original version of the game, so this is a good opportuni...
