2024 is, without a doubt, the best year the Prince of Persia series has had in a very long time. The indefinite delay of The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake made more than a few fans worry about the fate of the entire series, especially at a time when almost all big publishers are focusing on their core IPs due to financial matters, the release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown proved how the series is not only alive but also extremely well. A feeling that is further compounded by The Rogue Prince of Persia, an […]

When NVMe heat sinks first hit the market, many of the units included with certain motherboards were gimmicks and actually resulted in higher SSD temperatures. Cooling m.2 drives wasn't really a concern back then, but today's PCI-e Gen 5 SSDs aren't able to sustain their peak performance without some form of cooling. The controller found in many PCI-e 5 SSDs currently on the market is Phison's E26, which has a TJ Max (maximum temperature) of 125C - much hotter than previous generation products. With temperatures up on modern SSDs, the need to keep modern Gen 5 SSDs cool has resulted […]

Silverstone's Hydrogon D140 performs moderately well with reasonable noise levels, and has an installation process that system builders will appreciate, but it doesn't perform as well as other coolers in its price range.

We have established that Lofree makes some really cool keyboards. The Lofree Flow and Edge are two of the best low-profile keyboards that I have had the pleasure to use. So, when Lofree asked me if I would like to test out the Lofree Block 98, I agreed without a second thought. Block 98 is perhaps one of the most unique modern-day keyboards, and for one simple reason. It takes inspiration from the legendary IBM Model M and adds a lot of modern tech that allows it to compete with other modern-day keyboards. What you get is something that is pretty […]

Magnetic keyboards with Hall Effect and Rapid Trigger technology are slowly making waves in the market, and with every new rendition, we see something that is better than the other. There is no shortage of some excellent gaming keyboards available in the market like the Polar 65 by Arbiter Studio, Akko MOD007B HE, and the legendary Wooting 60HE+. So, what exactly do you have to offer to make the overall user experience even better? Well, the MonsGeek M1W-SP HE takes everything from the best and sprinkles its own character on the top and easily becomes one of the best magnetic […]

Everyone and their pets know that there is no shortage of great peripherals in the market--one has to be on the lookout for them. When someone talks about Wooting, the first thing that comes to mind is how this is one of the companies that has managed to make magnetic switches a lot more mainstream than they used to be. The original Wooting Two is considered to be the keyboard that managed to kickstart the trend, but I believe that it is the Wooting 60HE that pushed the company to the heights it is now standing at, and today, I […]

It seemed like we’d never see another game like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. While there have been plenty of Paper Mario games over the past couple of decades, Nintendo has intentionally steered the series away from the RPG mechanics, original characters, and sharp-edged humor it was initially known for. As a result, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has taken on a certain symbolic importance to some spurned fans even though it wasn’t a particularly big hit in its day. Needless to say, it came as a bit of a shock when Nintendo announced a full remake of the game […]

Cambridge-based game developer Ninja Theory has produced praiseworthy yet commercially unsuccessful games for most of its history, ever since the days of Kung Fu Chaos, a 3D fighting party game made exclusively for the original Xbox console. The same was true for Heavenly Sword, an action/adventure developed for Sony as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, a multiplatform release published by Bandai Namco, and DmC: Devil May Cry, which was also controversial among fans for the changes it made to the beloved CAPCOM series. Ironically, Ninja Theory found its big break when it opted to self-publish a […]

There is no shortage of good power banks in the market, and every day, we see something new. I recently reviewed the mighty Shargeek 170, which is capable of delivering 170W of output and is one of the most impressive power banks I have used in a long, long time. However, carrying a massive power bank with us at all times is not something that is always ideal for a lot of reasons. Power banks are big and heavy, and can easily take a lot of space in our bags. Sometimes, you need something small enough that fit in your […]

There is no shortage of great cases available for our modern-day smartphones. Things get even better if you are talking about flagship phones like the Galaxy S24 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Pitaka, a case-maker famous for its Aramid Fiber cases, has just released the new Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4 for a number of devices. While this might look like something that has been done to the end, Pitaka has made some changes that I am really in love with, and when they sent me this case, I was more than happy with how it turned out.

The late 90s were a great time for video games as a whole. Instead of focusing on certain franchises that were sure to sell well, developers worldwide were constantly attempting to innovate established genres. Squaresoft, now Square Enix, was among the Japanese developers more willing to experiment, dipping their toes in many different genres, including the fighting games genre, with series like Tobal and Bushido Blade. The latter, despite only being comprised of two entries, is still well-regarded today for having managed to create an experience centered around 1-hit-kill mechanics that worked surprisingly well, and very few games managed to […]

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. Keeping the trends in mind, Enermax has updated its PSU […]

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 […]
