WELCOME

Buckle up for a belting month of tech and entertainment releases in October, a month that sees the return of Sheffield’s finest, Arctic Monkeys, and Australia’s folk-electropop phenom, Vera Blue. Yellowstone , one of the best TV series in current circulation, is back and we’ve handpicked some quality horror flicks to make your annual Halloween marathon a proper fright night. Health, wellbeing and taking your cameras out and about is our focus in tech this month, while sports giant FIFA 23 takes out our games cover, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope also keeping the gamers occupied.
