Most years I dedicate separate posts to my year end round up, but I’m going to ditch that for a slightly more holistic post this year – mainly because, and I’m being totally honest here - I didn’t watch nearly enough TV or play enough video games to separate them into their own lists this …
toatali’s best films of 2020
2020 hasn't been a bad year for films, but it has been a slightly strange one. I was only able to see one of these films in the cinema; the rest had to be seen on my laptop, my TV or my shitty home projector. This isn't the worst thing in the world, but it's …
toatali’s best TV shows of the decade
As the 2010s come to a close, I too decide to hop on the bandwagon of judging which of its many creations are allowed to be remembered. The rules are simple; only shows which started their run in 2010 or later qualify for this list (there’s one cheat, but the first season is short and …
toatali’s best films of 2018
At 13 entries, this marks the longest of my lists this year, probably more to do with the fact that I watch a lot more films than I do play games or watch TV. Now, like my other lists, this isn’t ranked, but I do keep a very informal running list of everything I watch on …
Top 7 Films of 2017
2017 continues to prove itself excellent as we move into the realm of cinema; I've seen about 50 films this year, so not everything, but not a shabby amount either, and there's a lot to recommend. You might notice that this list is in alphabetical order; that's because I was, in fact, having such a …
Top 5 Video Games of 2017
Because of their nature as more time consuming and expensive than films and tv shows, I didn't get the chance to play too many games in 2017 (something further complicated by me moving somewhere without a TV in September). But the games I did manage to play were almost all at a higher standard than …
Top 5 TV Shows of 2017
It's December, which means it's the season to reflect on the year and assign an arbitrary number to the things you liked over the past 12 months. This year, I'm splitting up my lists in order to tantalise my readers, and give me more things to post this month. (I'm still working on my review …
The Best Games on the 3DS
I wasn’t expecting this to be the post for this month, but Persona 5 has ended up taking much longer than I expected to play through and gather my notes on, so this will have to serve to tide me over until then. Despite the success of Nintendo’s most recent portable console, the Switch, I …
Happy 1 Year Anniversary
Well, it's been a tough year for the world, but there has been some good in 2016 at least. Clearly the best thing though was the continuation of Toatali Reviews, which started one year ago today. There's been a lot to write about, from long searching reviews of Ace Attorney games to shorter reviews of Pokemon …
Top 16 of 2016
This time of the year is when everyone and their mum comes up with their best things of the year, but you should listen to me because... um, I write it down I guess? In all seriousness, this year has been pretty good for entertainment, even if it hasn't been so good for the rest …
