War is a recurring theme in modern sci-fi, and what comes hand-in-hand with war? Bloody great big weapons, that’s what. Science fiction is a fantasy platform in which the mind can truly explore the depths of power and destruction. Forget swords, guns or even nuclear bombs, these instruments of death pale in comparison to some […]

Westworld is over for 2016, and it couldn’t have been a more momentous inauguration. Westworld season 2 is now probably my most anticipated returning show in 2018, after the final season of Game of Thrones, naturally. SPOILER WARNING for all episodes in Westworld season 1 Westworld season 2 is a certainty, as is Westworld season […]

On November 7th, 2017, the Xbox One X was released. The most powerful games console ever produced, Microsoft’s new machine enables gamers to experience graphical sophistication normally reserved for top-end PC gamers. Featuring native 4K and HDR functionality, those who took delivery of the highly-anticipated console on Tuesday will be some of the first to […]

Recently, I delved into the latest iteration of Tolkien’s Middle-earth in the newly released Shadow of War. There are many aspects of this game that are worth sharing, but none more than the epic new siege events that you’ll find scattered across this sprawling action-RPG. After Ryan conquered the first fortress siege, we thought we’d […]

Do you like the Gears of War page on Facebook? Do you sub to their Youtube or follow them on Twitter? If so, you’ve witnessed the abuse The Coalition (TC) get for their handling of Gears of War 4; you’ve seen the hate and the angry emoticons littering their social media posts. The Gears of […]

Who hasn’t used a bow and arrow in a video game? From Zelda to Crysis, there’s a bow and arrow (or a crossbow) featured on just about every platform imaginable. Retro games have bows, sci-fi games have bows, there’s magical variants, a host of crossbows, and some just plain weird bows. There have been many […]

At EGX 2017, the FinalBoss team had the chance to get a closer look at some of the Indie games in development right now. These were some of the most exciting stalls at the event in terms of creativity, diversity and unique game experiences. One project that immediately caught our eye was ‘The Town of […]

Comic book movies show no signs of slowing down with the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) producing groundbreaking superhero film every year. Yet even by their standards, 2018 is shaping up to be even more packed with masks and capes. In this article, we look at the 5 most anticipated superhero […]

Your entertainment doesn’t come cheap and you might be surprised to learn just how high the price tag of some of your favourite shows actually is. This infographic from Frame Your TV takes you through the most expensive shows to ever make it to air. Where Does All the Money Go? Some of the shows […]

Yesterday, the FinalBoss team headed up to the Great British city of Birmingham for a wander around EGX — the UK’s biggest gaming expo. With a tally of over 75,000 attendees, it was tough to get our hands on everything we wanted, but one game we did manage to sit down and play was the […]

I love a good theory me. I’ve written a few in my day, but there are some theories that really grind my gears. In Rick and Morty, there are more than usual. Because of its whacky, sci-fi nature, people are quick to jump to insane conclusions without considering the facts. In this Final Boss video, […]

The growth of eSports has been incredible to watch over the last decade or so. The activity (or sport, if you must) has grown from a fringe entertainment business into a mainstream attraction, and now routinely approaches the viewership numbers of major sporting events. Now, if you can believe it, there’s talk that eSports are […]

So recently, I was exposed to the sometimes dark and twisted, sometimes bright and beautiful world of Hellblade. If like me you are a relic of a time long forgotten, then you haven’t yet been exposed to this 4K masterpiece. We recommend you watch this video commentary, featuring a fight between the protagonist Senua and […]

As Two Honest Guys resident casual gamer, I have never played Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m not even sure I’ve ever played a PS4. Despite my obvious lack of qualifications, Ryan decided I was an excellent choice for a gaming commentary on his battle with the ferocious Thunderjaw in Horizon Zero Dawn. Stumbling across the behemoth […]

Rick and Morty is a rising animated star — would have been a correct statement two years ago. Despite its lack of familiarity in the UK, Rick and Morty is enormous in the US and slowly reversing the tides of history by colonising much of Britain as well. Rick and Morty is a show that […]

Game of Thrones is a story so complex, with character’s with arcs that run so deep, that the series is surrounded by an immeasurable amount of theories. Many of these are utter trash, but some shining few take elements that we know, expand on them, and actually make a great deal of sense. R+L=J was […]

The Walking Dead is currently enjoying the height of TV success. Awards, money, an army of fans. But despite the popularity of the show, many are already looking to its conclusion and asking the question, how will The Walking Dead end? At FinalBoss, we’ve had some strong opinions on The Walking Dead. Whether it was […]

When you sit down after a long day and power up your PC or console, you want it to be a good experience. There are some things we can’t control, like trolls on chat, or players who have no idea what they are doing but somehow got to max level. However, there are things that […]

Recently, I had to ask myself an important question: Should I watch Firefly? Why? Because I was hounded, hounded by Ryan and his partner in crime Jess, for not having watched Joss Whedon’s cult classic. Last month, in our second Two Honest Guys podcast, the pair made the case for why I should give Firefly […]

Right off the bat, this is not an in-depth coverage review of Homefront: The Revolution with video and what-not. However, I will say that there are no spoilers for the story in this review. Homefronts setting and premise Homefront: The Revolution is set in an alternate timeline in the year 2029, four years into the North […]

On March 3rd, 2017 the Nintendo Switch launches. At Final Boss, we are in equal parts excited and trepidatious about this console. By equal parts, I mean that I am excited, and Ryan is trepidatious. There are plenty of reasons to get a Nintendo Switch, but also plenty of reasons to avoid it. This blog […]

I have a theory, a theory about how Game of Thrones will end, and it’s not one you are going to like. We’ve all seen speculation about who is going to finish the last season on the Iron Throne, winning the Game of Thrones once and for all. Danny is a pretty popular choice, as […]

Video game movies don’t have the best reputation: But, they aren’t always terrible. The hotly anticipated Assassin’s Creed movie hits cinemas later this year, and we’re pretty buzzed for it — maybe just out of love for Michael Fassbender. Assassin’s Creed isn’t the only upcoming video game movie though. There are actually plenty of exciting — […]

Ryan did something pretty crazy recently. Against the advice of my incredibly well thought-out article about the Nintendo Switch, he bought the console. Thankfully though, it is a decision he does not regret. While the games available for the Switch are currently limited, what is available is definitely worth the price tag — in his […]
