Trains, vital resources and the race of ancient demons that H.P. Lovecraft dubbed The Old Ones – could a game be any more Martin Wallace? Well, perhaps if it was card driven, which Auztralia surprisingly isn’t. Even so, this modern hybrid of A Study in Emerald and Brass takes a number of classic Wallace systems and delivers a tense, thematic experience that begins as a rush for gold, coal and steel before switching to a desperate game of resource management and running defense as Cthulhu’s minions awaken and pour forth.
Auztralia is actually marketed as the first game in a series that publisher SchilMil Games is calling “The Great Designers”, so it’s no surprise that a lot of what the game delivers feels focused on what Martin Wallace does best. Even so, Auztralia is fast paced, deep and fairly unique in both its setting and the way it plays.

Whether you loved or hated the Discworld series of books by Sir Terry Pratchett, there can be no doubt about the influence his work had on the literary world. Whilst my own relationship with Rincewind and the rest of Pratchett’s wacky characters blew hot and cold over the years, I have no hesitation in saying that the Discworld and its inhabitants are among the most unique and comprehensively realised out there; easily a match for more serious works from the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R. R. Martin, for example. Of course, Pratchett’s world was recreated in video games, board games and on television several times whilst he was still alive, but since his passing, a legal hold has prevented further use of his intellectual properties.
And that’s where Martin Wallace, Phalanx Games and the subject of today’s review, Nanty Narking, come into the picture.

In London (Second Edition) between two and four players each take on the role of an aspiring architect during the rebuilding of London after The Great Fire that ravaged more than 13,000 buildings in 1666. Even in the first edition of London, the role of a board (in the form of a map of the city) was used sparingly, so it’s fair to say that London is effectively a fairly complex, self-contained card game.
Players take turns to develop their interests in the city whilst simultaneously working to maintain a reasonably low level of poverty. Money must be earned by running the city, which in turn is spent on buildings and acquire boroughs, which are the main way to reduce poverty. Loans can be taken and paid back at a 50% uplift, but there is a points penalty for unpaid debts at the end of the game – likewise, excess poverty will also...

Lincoln is a brand new game from Martin Wallace, Psc Games and Worthington Publishing which, as you can imagine, is centred around the exploits of the titular Us President. More specifically, it is a fairly straightforward, card driven wargame that deals with the American Civil War and takes place over between ninety minutes and two hours.
Unsurprisingly given the subject matter, Lincoln is a two player game with one player controlling The Union and the other taking charge of The Confederacy. The game is heavily focussed on mustering and moving troops, then participating in combat. The attractive board is very well laid out and ensures a constant focus on action across several fronts.
There are also a couple of tracks that represent European influence and The Union blockade, both of which offer slightly different tactical options. The European influence track infers that if the Confederate player can gain enough support,...

★★★★☆Sparks fly and molten steel bubbles in Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker and director Martin Wallace's poetic homage to Sheffield's steel industry, The Big Melt (2013). Images and clips are welded together to Cocker's eloquent, soaring score for a spellbinding film which opened last year's DocFest, whilst also having been designed to commemorate 100 years of steelmaking in the northern city. The Big Melt dexterously navigates the English city's long history of steel production, blending archive footage from the BFI collection, with public information videos, animations, documentary clips and educational videos make up the bulk of the glorious footage on show.

The 2013 directing mentors include Oliver Parker, John Madden [pictured], Joanna Hogg and Lenny Abrahamson,
Writing mentors include Will Davies, Peter Straughan and Lucinda Coxon.
Producing mentors are Nira Park, Andrea Calderwood and Robyn Slovo.

Jarvis Cocker's The Big Melt combines archive film and live music in an alloy of heavy industry, Kes, electronica and sex. He talks here about what steel means to him and to his home city of Sheffield
Jarvis Cocker doesn't just like tights. It's bigger than that. This is a man who really knows his hosiery. An authority, as well as an aficionado. A white woolly pair loom large in his latest project: a feature-length patchwork of archive footage of Sheffield's steel works with a live soundtrack. A hand slides its way up the gusset. We're close in on a hillside fumble in the 60s, with spectacular backdrop of factories below, chimneys erect and steaming.
"That bit was mine," confirms Cocker, sitting beside his collaborator, film-maker Martin Wallace. Wallace, as smooth and compact as Cocker is stretched and furry, nods. Cocker continues. "I just really liked that shot of...

As Superman prepares for global lift-off, Cocker fine-tunes the premiere of the opening night film at the Sheffield Doc/Fest

The opening night event, The Big Melt, smelts the two together: a documentary by Martin Wallace, it splices archive footage of the city and its steelworkers to a live soundtrack by Jarvis Cocker and other Sheffield musical alumni, including the City of Sheffield Brass Band, Richard Hawley and members of his band, some of Cocker's Pulp colleagues, the Forgemasters, a string quartet and a youth choir.

The Sheffield Doc/Fest is celebrating its 20th year with a slew of nonstop screenings and events that will run from June 12-16. Instead of launching with one opening night film, the fest will launch with a whopping three, one of which will be screened in Europe's largest cave opening, Peak District Devil's Arse. The opening night selections include: "The Big Melt," "Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer" and "The Summit." "The Big Melt," making its world premiere, pays homage to a Century of Steel by mixing moving pictures alongside the music of Jarvis Cocker and his longtime collaborator Martin Wallace. "Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer" centers on the story of the three women, members of the feminist art collective Pussy Riot, who made national headlines after being arrested for their satirical performance in a Moscow cathedral, on charges of religious hatred. "The Summit" recounts in detail the deadliest...

Small Creatures is the micro-budgeted first time feature from director Martin Wallace and concerns a group of teenage boys living in an estate outside of Liverpool; their bleak lives, disinterest in education and eventual, inevitable descent into drugs and gang violence. Very much in the tradition of recent films like Fish Tank and This Is England but without the same sense of social realism or grit, it is nonetheless a well produced little drama with some fine performances by young actors even if the heavy use of visual metaphors puts it more in line with 'nice-fantasy-realist' films. It's less 'Kes' and more 'A Kid for Two Farthings', so to speak. [Continued ...]...

Coggie (Michael Coventry) is a susceptible schoolboy who lives on a council estate in Liverpool with his mother (Jane Hogarth) and older sister (Terri Reddin). He spends most of his time hanging around with friends Macca (Paul Bamford) and Ste (Tom Pauline). But when Ste’s behaviour worsens and Coggie finds himself on the cusp of a life consumed by violence and drugs, he decides enough is enough and, in the company of Macca, attempts to break free of his friend’s aggressive dominance.
The latest in the line of social realist dramas, Small Creatures at first attempts to elevate itself above its obvious shoe-string budget, but unfortunately succumbs to an over-reliance on visual metaphors and imagery to elicit meaning – a feat that’s so rarely achieved to a decent measure that writer and director Martin Wallace’s intentions feel instantly unrealistic for someone so inexperienced. They just end up...

★★☆☆☆ Martin Wallace's debut feature Small Creatures (2010) is a gritty slice of adolescent social realism that, whilst rich in striking imagery and visual metaphors, fails to effectively combine the dark world of playground brutality with some sumptuous visual diversions. Coggie (Michael Coventry) lives with his mother and sister in a rundown Liverpool council estate, spending most of his time hanging around with his two friends Macca (Paul Bamford) and Ste (Tom Pauline).
