GAME REVIEW – God Of War III

By Marty Mulrooney

GOW3Cover

Brutal Greek warrior Kratos finally returns to our gaming consoles with the release of God of War III, the long anticipated final chapter of the phenomenal hack ‘n’ slash trilogy. AMO recently previewed the game here, and I am pleased to say that the final release is even more accomplished than that earlier build.

FILM REVIEW – Shutter Island

By Marty Mulrooney

ShutterIsland

Director Martin Scorsese’s latest film sees him team up once more with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, this time in a psychological thriller more akin to Cape Fear than Goodfellas.
