Paul Carrack is a singer/songwriter that I imagine many people will have heard over the years, perhaps without even realising. The former Mike + The Mechanics vocalist breathed life into such hits as How Long by Ace and Tempted by Squeeze, and has written for artists such as The Eagles, Tom Jones and Jools Holland. A Different Hat is Carrack’s latest solo effort, an album that allows him to reinterpret his own back catalogue, as well as the classic hits of numerous other musicians he admires, whilst being accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Star Wars franchise is easily one of the biggest merchandising machines ever invented. Countless books have followed its success, and for every character that has appeared on screen, Hasbro have turned around and made a toy. Out of the dozens of games that have been set in the Star Wars universe, the story of an anti-hero secret apprentice to Darth Vader blew fans away. A sharp, 3D action game set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, The Force Unleashed was the closest thing to becoming a Jedi. Two years later, does the sequel have the same impact that the original had? Don’t bet on it.

When it comes to zombies, I just can’t stomach them. The look, the sound, the sheer terror they invoke: dealing with them is something I’ll avoid whenever possible. So why am I reviewing a piece of downloadable content where the world of Red Dead Redemption goes to hell? It’s just too good not to. Here is a massive piece of content where the old west is now plagued with shambling undead. Chief protagonist John Marston is back, taking up his guns once more. And it’s so enjoyable I can’t stop playing. Warning: there will be minor spoilers in this review.
