H
appy New Year. 2016 is already shaping up to be
an exciting year for film buffs, gamers and music
lovers, and we squint into our crystal ball to scry what’s
hot and on the horizon. But we haven’t left 2015 behind
completely – there’s still some awards to present for the
best releases across all categories from the year that
was. We’ve chosen our Top 10 in film (on DVD), TV, games
and albums, and now we want YOU to pick the best of
the best. There’s a prize up for grabs for voters, as well as
the opportunity to see your very own review published in
this illustrious magazine – see page 10 for further details
and nominations. Which brings us to
Star Wars: The Force
Awakens
. After what seemed like an eternity of sorting
fact from rumour and being drip fed tidbits of information
concerning the closely guarded plot, the movie finally
opened and the wait came to an end. Now what are we
all going to do with our lives? Well, you could always
check out what we thought of J.J.’s efforts on page 20.
