When I reviewed the NuPhy Gem80, I was sure that I would not find a better keyboard than that, and I was also certain that such an experience can only be possible if you build the keyboard yourself. However, NuPhy was quick to prove me wrong when the sent me the NuPhy Halo75 V2, a much more affordable keyboard as compared to the Gem80, but something that is virtually the same in so many aspects and even better in some. If you are not looking to shell out upwards of $200 on a custom keyboard and still want a great […]

V Rising is a game that requires little introduction. Originally released as an early access title back in 2022, its balanced mix of action role-playing games and survival mechanics made it an instant hit and a game that fans of both genres would like. After two years of updates, which refined the experience and added more content and mechanics, V Rising is finally out of early access with the 1.0 update. While the update doesn't introduce any critical change to the core experience, the additional content, open-world improvements, and quality-of-life enhancements make for an even better game that will likely […]

There is no denying that the power bank market is very saturated. So, how do you bring something that is different than what others are offering not just in terms of look but in terms of performance as well? You don't. What you can do, however, is to build up on the foundation laid by other great brands and offer something that can stand head-to-head with the greats and this is where the Shargeek 170 comes in. This is one of the best power banks I have used in a long time and in many ways, it might as well […]

With the Switch slowly winding down, Nintendo has been looking to tide hardcore fans over by diving deep into its back catalog to resurface long-neglected franchises like Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Advance Wars, and Another Code, but Endless Ocean may be the most unexpected revival yet. Beginning on the Wii as a perhaps over-literal expression of Nintendo’s 2010s-era “blue ocean” strategy, the series got two entries in quick succession then disappeared, for good many assumed. Well, surprise! Nearly 15 years after we were last graced with an entry in the series, Endless Ocean Luminous is sailing our way. Is Endless […]

The Mini PC market is being flooded with new solutions every month and while everyone wants the latest specs, sourcing out those chips is becoming hard for manufacturers of these Mini PCs so the companies are now leveraging the available hardware and offering unique products to consumers. We have seen with the AMD Ryzen APUs where the supply of the newer 7000/8000 APUs is so low that Mini PC makers still reuse the older Ryzen 5000/6000 APUs. Geekom has decided to select the Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake option for its more multi-threaded & performance-oriented offerings with the likes of […]

The Lofree Flow left me thoroughly impressed as I was sure that low-profile mechanical keyboards could not get thinner, more compact, and more stylish than that, but then the company decided to beat itself at its own game and sent me the Lofree Edge--a low profile keyboard that is much thinner than the Flow, it also feels a lot better in hand, and provides the same, and in some cases, even better typing experience. Is it the perfect low-profile keyboard? Well, there are some minor issues, but honestly, they don't come in the way of letting you have an absolutely […]

The recently-departed Akira Toriyama left behind a rich gaming legacy between contributing to the likes of Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger and the many, many, many Dragon Ball adaptations, and that legacy will only continue to build after his death. Sand Land is one of Toriyama’s more recent, lesser-known creations, but it’s been given a serious push over the past year, receiving an anime film, streaming series on Disney+, and now a video game from Bandai Namco and One Piece Odyssey developer ILCA. Of course, as great as some Toriyama-associated games have been, there’s also been plenty of so-so ones. […]

Chinese manufacturer Manba may not be among the better-known gaming peripherals manufacturers, but it has been slowly making a name for itself with a range of solid controllers, Nintendo Switch, and VR headset accessories like charging stations. Following the release of a multi-platform mini controller, a set of great looking Switch Joy-Con and controller with turbo function, the manufacturer has now released a more advanced controller called the Manba One controller, a solid controller with hall effect sticks, unique features, and additional accessories that are usually sold at a much higher price. The Manba One controller doesn't attempt to reinvent […]

Dead Island 2 is far from one of the best games released in 2023, but the combination of a wacky yet engaging story and fun zombie-slaying gameplay made it worth a play for those looking for something compact and a little mindless to play. Following last year's Haus expansion, which added very little to the experience, the second entry in the series developed by Dambuster Studios has been expanded further with the SoLa DLC, which is a little more worthwhile than the previous expansion despite not really shaking up the base game's formula a whole lot. The Dead Island 2 […]

The reveal of Surgent Studios' Tales of Kenzera: ZAU in late 2023 made more than a few heads turn with its setting inspired by African Bantu tales and colorful visuals, which made it easy to look past the fact that the game was yet another Metroidvania, a genre that went from being extremely niche to being pretty much everywhere nowadays. While the game objectively doesn't really push the boundaries of the genre forward, reiterating mechanics and features seen in countless other games, it is undeniable how Zau's adventure in the treacherous lands of Kenzera is a solid debut for the […]

When it comes to tennis games, there's nothing quite like Top Spin. The series originally created as an Xbox exclusive by PAM Development has historically delivered gameplay of unmatched depth combined with solid licensing and strong online features, making it the tennis game to love for true fans of the sport. However, franchise aficionados have long been yearning for a comeback. Top Spin 4 launched in 2011 (only on consoles) and seemed left in the dust by 2K until journalist Jason Schreier reported two years ago that Hangar 13, a studio composed of former 2K Czech employees who worked on […]

While not as well known as those made by Japanese game creators such as Hironobu Sakaguchi and Yuji Horii, creators of the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series, respectively, the contributions to the JRPG genre made by Yoshitaka Murayama with his Suikoden series cannot be understated. Leaving Konami shortly before the release of the third entry in the series in 2002, Murayama-san seemed to have left JRPG behind for good, only working on The Alliance Alive scenario. Still, somewhere along the way, his love for the genre must have sparked anew, as his studio Rabbit & Bear Studio revealed Eiyuden […]

The release of the new PCI-SIG ATX 3.1 guidelines and the introduction of the safer 12V-2x6 power connector design have prompted PSU makers to update their recent products with newer versions. Since the new standard is compatible with existing designs, it takes little effort for manufacturers to provide a safer and more robust platform that ensures stable power delivery to your PCs all the while tackling issues such as high power variances, spikes, and most importantly, safeguard from some of the troubles that were encountered with previous 16-pin connector designs. As such, XPG has rolled out its new Core Reactor […]

Todays review will explore the performance the 360mm and 240mm version of the latest Mystique series AIOs from DeepCool. The standout feature of this line is a 2.8" glossy LCD screen which can display system usage statistics or a media file of your choice, but that's not all! They also include upgraded pumps and fans compared to previous DeepCool products. DeepCool is one of my favorite cooling brands, and have consistently been improving the performance and value of their products. I've been impressed with a number of their products, including the very unique Assassin IV WH which I previously reviewed. Pros […]

When looking at mechanical keyboards in the market, the one thing that is evident from the get-go is that there is no shortage of excellent boards available to try out. So, how do you beat the norm and create something that is already available and works as intended? Well, Lofree got an idea and decided to create a low-profile keyboard that is not only sleek but also the smoothest low-profile mechanical keyboard available on the market.

There are no shortage of passion projects within the world of indie games, but Harold Halibut from German developer Slow Bros. takes dedication to another level. In the works in some form since 2010, Harold Halibut’s striking stop-motion-inspired visuals have caught a lot of folks’ eyes, but there was always that lingering concern that this aquatic adventure may be a pipe dream. That a completed game may never surface. Thankfully, those fears were misplaced, as the game finally arrives this week. Has Harold Halibut been worth the long wait and all those many developer hours? Or is the end result […]
