God of War, Porridge and meeting Mihir Sheth & Denny Yeh
I was once a pretty conservative teenager, which meant the God of War franchise was certainly not for me! Gore!? Hidden sexy mini-games!?? NO WAY! But now, a few years on (just a few, ok!?), I am well and truly a GoW convert. I could be lying, but I think God of War (2018) might have been the first game I a...

The White Vault Podcast Review
We all have tropes that we particularly like. For myself, I personally like stories about polar exploration, lost ancient civilisations, and the rediscovery of those lost ancient civilisations. Add some creepy supernatural elements, a great cast of voice actors, and a diverse set of characters and you’ll ha...
NZ’s Most Popular Games last month according to PriceSpy!
If you’re ever in the market for a new game, but are wary about the cost of living, PriceSpy is a great place to take a little squizz at the going price of said game. Every month or so they collate together their top five most-viewed games and every month or so I find myself surprised. I mean, LEGO St...
The Top 5 Games of April and May (and your chance to win one!)
Here we are again with the top five most searched for games on PriceSpy New Zealand for the months of April and May 2021. To my surprise, most of them released last year! Coming in at number one is the absolute stunner Ghost of Tsushima. This near masterpiece is universally adored, and is apparently still o...
Twist
It begins with, “There’s no singing, no dancing. And definitely no happy ending.” Damn. I like all those three things. I love Oliver Twist the musical and can do an excellent rendition of Fagin’s “Be Back Soon” if no one is watching. But I was also intrigued enough to che...
Made in Italy
I’d always wanted to see what Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie would be like in a non-comedic romantic role. Well, this wasn’t it, just in case you’re wondering. But it’s close. Bret’s body double -also known as Micheál Richardson- plays Jack, an art gallery owner. ...
Win yourself two of 2020’s best games thanks to PriceSpy!
It’s 2021, and a fine opportunity to grab some of the best games of 2020 now that they’ve finally sunk in price. Take Ghost of Tsushima for example. Despite coming out over six months ago, last month it was the most searched-for game on PriceSpy! This might have something to do with a late price...
Music – a film by Sia
You might be forgiven for thinking this is a musical, or at least one giant music video. I mean, with Sia at the director’s helm, you already know what to expect. Dancing? Check. Surrealist sets? Check. Maddie Ziegler? MOST DEFINITELY. What I didn’t expect is how this film takes on some pretty difficu...
A PriceSpy Christmas Gift!
Hands up if you’re a last minute Christmas shopper! If New Zealand were a room of 10 people and you raised your hand, two other people would have raised their hand with you. And one of them would have been me. Yep, according to a survey done on PriceSpy‘s behalf, 28% of Kiwis admit they will be ...
Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles
At first, the premise of this was so confusing to me. Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing I don’t love about all three concepts: Yotam Ottolenghi. His reverent approach to food is something that has always stood out to me. When this master of middle-eastern food steps into any kitchen, his zen-...
