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!

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 four

Welcome back to the final part of my eagerly anticipated games list of 2020.  Let's get going! Rune Factory 5 for the Nintendo Switch. I do enjoy me some nice, peaceful farming games every once in a while, like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley.  If you're not familiar with the Rune Factory series, it is basically Harvest Moon but mixed with a JRPG, so you have to explore dungeons and fight monsters at the same time as making sure your crops are watered and your livestock is looked after. This sort of game really works well on a handheld so it's a great fit for the Switch. Streets of Rage 4 for the Nintendo Switch. Whether or not this one actually turns out to be as good as the classic entries in the series for the Sega Megadrive remains to be seen, but at the moment I am looking forward to checking this one out. I quite like the art style that they've gone for - it's both modern and retro inspired at the same time. I hear that Yuzo Koshiro is only doing part of ...

Movies: Jupiter Ascending

Jupiter Ascending is a bit of an older film compared to those that I've reviewed so far, but on the Nimble Entertainment Review Depot, anything goes.  I don't want to limit myself by just covering the latest releases, so here we are.  I've always thought that this film looked pretty cool from the trailers and the little bits and pieces of it that I have seen over the years, but terrible reviews both from the critics and the general public have put me off from seeing it.  At the weekend I picked up a handful of cheap Blu Ray's, and this was amongst them.  Not expecting much at all, I sat down to watch the film last night, and I ended up really enjoying myself. First of all, Jupiter Ascending looks fantastic in multiple ways - the design of the world, the special effects work, the choreography of the action sequences, and the attractive main leads. This film really pops in HD, though I have just got the regular Blu Ray version.  Out of interest I did check and s...
