Today's review will cover a rather unique CPU cooler from Jiushark, a relatively new player to the cooling market from China. This CPU cooler, the JF13K mini DIAMOND, offers top down cooling which not only cools your CPU - but also your RAM, VRMs, and SSD (if it is installed next to the CPU)! As this is a top down cooler, my expectations for this cooler aren't as high as traditional CPU coolers I test. However, with a full six heatpipes and a wide heatsink I hoped the JF13K mini DIAMOND could at least offer performance comparable to traditional low […]

Over the past few years the WWE 2K franchise has played the role of a wrestler who’s been busted back down to WWE Performance Center to work on their fundamentals. WWE 2K20 was an embarrassing debacle requiring a full year off and reset, WWE 2K22 still had issues but generally got the series back on solid footing, WWE 2K23 built on that foundation with some new features and polish, and now WWE 2K24 is here to… take us where exactly? Does WWE 2K24 continue to build on the positive momentum the franchise has accumulated over the past couple of years? […]

While PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs are setting new storage performance benchmarks, the real-life and application benefits of getting those drives are still not worth the price you are paying for them. It's mostly an early adopters product for now and while we appreciate the speed-up, we would love to see the performance transition from synthetic benchmarks to actual use cases. And you know what's still considered to be quite fast without breaking your wallet? The current-gen PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs. Gen 4 SSDs are now available at very affordable price rates and offer great performance which is why […]

It's time. The Outlast Trials has finally come out of Early Access, and we now have a different beast to address compared to how the game was before. For those who read my first impressions of The Outlast Trials, some of the issues I have with the game extend to the way the Stamina system was implemented, the repetitive nature of the game, the somewhat awful and unoriginal game design, and the way it emphasized the Rigs which exist to amplify your abilities. I will, at least, say that several of my concerns with the game have been addressed, while […]

Among the classic KONAMI franchises the Japanese publisher neglected the most in the past few years is the Contra series. Among the originators of the run-'n'-gun genre, over the years, the series failed to achieve the massive success of the original arcade game released back in the late 80s, and the many twists of the original formula featured in the sequels were not enough to make Contra a household name in shooter games among a younger generation of gamers. As KONAMI, which is now bringing back many of its core franchises, must have finally realized that Contra is at its […]

Outcast is a game that many may not have heard of, but it is among one of the most influential games ever made. The game created by Appeal featured many of the mechanics that would go on to influence future open-world games, as well as a very unique atmosphere that actually made players feel like protagonist Cutter Slade, stranded on an alien planet desperately trying to find a way back home. A long time has passed since late 1999, but fans of the game got the chance to return to Adelpha with the 1.1 version and then the Second Contact […]

Before Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or any of the other horror staples were chilling and thrilling fans, there was Alone in the Dark. Unfortunately, after laying the foundation for the whole survival horror genre, the series lost its way with some truly dreadful revival attempts interspersed with long periods of dormancy. And now we’re trying again with a fresh reboot of the series simply titled Alone in the Dark from Magicka 2 and Titan Quest developer Pieces Interactive and publisher THQ Nordic. So, does the new Alone in the Dark vault the franchise back to the top of the survival […]

As a big fan of fantasy settings and roleplaying games, it will be no surprise that I was elated to discover that CAPCOM would finally make Dragon's Dogma 2 when the publisher made it official in June 2022. I had been waiting for such news ever since I played and greatly enjoyed Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on PC. At long last, nearly twelve years after the first installment was released on consoles, we've finally got the sequel in our hands. But is it really worthy of being called Dragon's Dogma 2? To better ponder that question, it's worth reminding that […]

It feels like Princess Peach has been waiting for her big breakout role for a while now. Nintendo clearly has an inkling that “lady who keeps getting kidnapped by turtles” is a character description in need of a bit of an update as she was given a significant role in the Super Mario Bros. Movie and is playable more often than not in newer Mario games. Unfortunately, she still hasn’t received that solo adventure she deserves, with 2005’s Super Princess Peach not leaving much of an impression. Well, nearly two decades later Princess Peach: Showtime! sees the Mushroom Kingdom monarch […]

The DDR5 memory segment has been seeing a lot of action as it gets standardized across all PC platforms. With memory prices dropping and the latest platforms becoming affordable, memory makers are offering new solutions all the time with some focusing on high-end specifications. In contrast, others focus on strengthening their gaming product portfolios. Last year, Crucial (Micron) introduced its first desktop-ready DDR5 UDIMMs, offering up to 5600 MT/s speeds. These were designed in accordance with JEDEC specs to make sure that they were compatible with all PC platforms. More recently, Crucial introduced its Pro Overclocking lineup & the specs […]

Thermalright is one of the hottest players in the CPU cooling market, they've been dominating the market in both performance and value with recently released air coolers like the Phantom Spirit 120 EVO. Today we'll be looking at one of Thermalright's AIOs, the Frozen Edge 360.  It is powered by 3 of Thermalright's TL-B12 120mm fans which have seen decent reviews online, paired with a 3300RPM liquid pump, and features a solid black design with minor ARGB accents for the CPU block. However, none of these features are what grabs our attention - the price is what really makes Thermalright's […]

Mechanical keyboards have come a long way from where they first started, and over the past couple of years, we have made a lot of improvements. Sure, some would argue that the Hall Effect magnetic keyboards are better, but that does not discount everything that is happening in the field of mechanical keyboards, and to provide more evidence to this, we have the NuPhy Air60 V2, which is coming to take the crown away from all the other low profile mechanical keyboards and honestly, this has become a permanent fixture in my bag. The NuPhy Air60 V2 is unapologetically small, […]

Rise of the Ronin struggles to find its identity in ways that hinder what would otherwise be one of Team Ninja's finest works. A compelling story told against the backdrop of the 1850s Bakumatsu Period is instead overshadowed by a vapid and uninspired open-world setting and a narrative that rarely feels like the player has agency.

Last year, Intel introduced its Raptor Lake CPU family as a part of a refresh under the 14th Gen branding. The lineup mostly retains the same core configurations besides one SKU while being mostly a clock lift update which is reminiscent of what Intel has done in the past. A +200 MHz clock speed is about as much as you would expect from the lineup. The company hoped that this would be enough to tackle the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, especially the newer X3D parts which are gaining a lot of recommendations within the gaming segment due to their impressive […]
