This post contains spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery. After what feels like forever of waiting, Star Trek: Discovery season 2 finally returned to our screens last week. Currently two episodes in, and having seen two very likeable and memorable captains killed off in the first season, we are now introduced to the very straight-laced Captain […]

Back in 1996, a game was released; a game that changed the lives of many. Given the title of this article, I’m sure you’ll be surprised to learn that this game was called Pokemon. Gamer’s took on the role of a young ‘trainer’ who had held some sort of strange compulsion to wander around the […]

Confession: When I first played Skyrim, I didn’t like it. I know, it’s an unpopular opinion. Some would even say it’s blasphemy. That’s not to say that I wasn’t hyped about it, because I was — insanely so — but there was just something stopping me from being able to really enjoy it. In hindsight, […]

The Cartoon Crush Series on FinalBoss features bitesize essays written by Jon Holmes about current cartoons, and their effects on how we watch television – their humble beginnings, their legacies, and maybe just a snipe or two at what they used to be! Drinking game: Take a shot every time I mention The Simpsons… (Please […]

In this edition of FinalBoss’ Cartoon Crush, we touch on something very close to my heart. I’ve talked at length on here (and numerous other places) about my love/hate relationship for The Simpsons, and how it would initially help craft my sense of humour today – but whenever I talk about my comedy upbringing, I […]

It’s been over a year now since the iWatch Series 3 Cellular was released. Reviews came flooding out the gate, as they always do, but is an immediate reaction really going to give you a sense of how a watch impacts day-to-day life?  Since release, we at FinalBoss.io have had ample time to get to […]

Atlus has released the Day One edition of Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight (P3D) and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight (P5D) with a nice additional surprise – they threw in Persona 4: Dancing All Night (P4D) for free. As a long time fan of the series, I was ready with the download button as soon […]

Gaming used to be just another form of entertainment, but it has long since evolved to be its own sports category. Although there’s still an ongoing debate about whether or not eSports should indeed be considered a sport, there’s already been talk about including it in the 2024 Olympics. FinalBoss notes that the fact that […]

The New Year is upon us and now is a time of reflection. A time to look back on our previous year with rose-tinted eyes and see how far we’ve come. Okay, maybe not. But, it is great time to look back at 2018 and think about what a cracking year it was for gaming. […]

** Disclaimer: This article is 100% satire. There are no spoilers ahead because I haven’t actually seen it. Enjoy! ** Last week saw the Aquaman movie hit the big screen here in the UK. But will this latest addition from pioneer flagship Bongo comics make a splash or be yet another DC washout? Aquaman sees […]

On the 20th of February, 1992, a plucky company softball team, Springfield’s Nuclear Power Plant, won the pennant. It was an achievement that no-one at the time had seen coming, and that has still not been bettered by a team with such a retrospectively poor previous season (they were 2 and 28, ironically making it […]

Back when I was a wide-eyed gamer just delving into the crazy world of JRPGs, I discovered Disgaea. Here was a strategy game with a difference; wacky characters, hilarious dialogue, challenging puzzles and satisfying, turn-based combat. All rolled into an insanely-detailed and beautiful package, with a real, meaningful story. Fifteen years later the original Disgaea […]

The holiday season is a perfect time for gaming enthusiasts to try some new titles and see if they are good enough to make it into their regular roster of games. With schools, universities and workplaces mostly closed over the holiday season, why not try out something a little different before the busy New Year begins? […]

A little while back a meme went around Facebook in the form of a self-referential teasing passage of text, claiming that Rick and Morty fans were superior to everyone else just on the basis that they watched the show. It read: “To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick […]

It’s here. Black Friday is finally upon us! And, of course, Cyber Monday, but it just doesn’t have the same ring to it. The US shopping trend that has become a phenomenon in Britain, Black Friday 2018 promises some bumper deals on your favourite gaming gear, titles and more. At FinalBoss we’ve covered and reviewed […]

Ask Google to describe the word “Irreverence” and it will tell you it means a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously. Each episode of 20th Century Fox’s Family Guy opens with the same title sequence. We are introduced to the Griffin family in their home through song, as they […]

In a strange little town somewhere in New Jersey is a greasy spoon business by the name of Bob’s Burgers, run by manager and Head Chef, Bob Belcher, and his wife Linda Belcher. The two live above the restaurant with their three children; Tina, Gene, and Louise. With affordable prices on food, it is a […]

We live in an age of gaming past generations would never have predicted: virtual reality gaming, graphics that are barely distinguishable from film, and gameplay of the highest order. There are complexities in games released over the last few years that are mind-boggling to even the most adept gamer, but with all the options on […]

At the beginning of each episode of Comedy Central’s “South Park” we are greeted by simple white titles against a black background that reads: “ALL CHARACTERS AND EVENTS IN THIS SHOW –- EVEN THOSE BASED ON REAL PEOPLE — ARE ENTIRELY FICTIONAL. ALL CELEBRITY VOICES ARE IMPERSONATED…..POORLY. THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM CONTAINS COARSE LANGUAGE AND DUE […]

At FinalBoss, we considered the first episode of South Park season 22 a bit of a home run. It had everything we love about the series in its current format. Political jabs, Cartman’s not-so-casual racism and another example of the South Park community acting in bizarre and incomprehensible ways. You can imagine then that we […]

It’s back. It’s finally back. If you can’t tell, I’m a big fan of South Park. Unlike the other 90s and 00s cartoons that have either died off, faded into obscurity or become shadows of their former selves — I’m lookin’ at you, Homer — South Park has maintained a level of comedy and quality […]

Released earlier this year, Apple TV 4K came as an answer to critics of the standard device, lampooning its inability to handle the new and rising HDR/Dolby Vision technology. Retailing just under £200, the unit fits snuggly just about anywhere and promises buyers the ability to watch and stream their favourite movies in all their […]
