Qualcomm is gearing up to announce its next flagship silicon next month, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but before that unveiling, we want to provide some impartial thoughts on the REDMAGIC 9S Pro, an Android gaming smartphone that is kitted out with the best-in-class hardware you could ask for, including the upgraded version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The unit we got our hands on after scaling a boatload of import hurdles, retails for $899, making it decent if you compare the specifications on paper with other leading brands. Overall, the ‘price to performance’ ratio of the REDMAGIC 9S Pro […]

It's been two years since the launch of the AMD AM5 motherboard platform and the 600-series motherboards. Since its launch, the platform has seen the launch of several CPUs in the Ryzen 7000, Ryzen 8000, and Ryzen 9000 family. While the 600-series motherboards provide great features & compatibility with newer Zen 5 CPUs, motherboard makers are always looking to enhance user experiences through the latest technologies which is why AMD has introduced a new chipset line called 800-series. Today, the first wave of AMD 800-series motherboards is hitting shelves in the form of the X870E for Enthusiasts and X870 for […]

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 still very much an early adopter 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. We […]

“Why are the games called ‘The Legend of Zelda’ when you always play as Link?” is an inescapable question asked by pretty much everybody who encounters Nintendo’s beloved series, and yet, the company has never really provided a satisfactory answer beyond, “Uh, just because.” Well, this four-decade-long confusing state of affairs is being resolved (for now) as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom finally gives the Princess herself a starring role. This also marks the first original 2D Zelda title since 2013’s A Link Between Worlds, so a lot of longstanding fan requests are being satisfied at once here. […]

Colorful has had a strong portfolio of Z790 motherboards which are mostly overlooked since they are limited to the Asian markets. More recently, the company showcased its high-end Vulcan Z790 designs which were going to be used in pre-built PCs but they are also releasing as a DIY solution. These motherboards are premium, top-of-the-line, and quality products as you can see from their design and a true showcase of the Vulcan element on motherboards. We were excited when we first saw these motherboards at Computex 2024 and asked the company to send us a sample to try out and well […]

AMD's AM5 platform has been a solid entry, featuring some of the best chips on the market and a wide variety of entry-level and high-end options to select from. Despite the AM5 launch, AMD was still focusing on releasing the more mainstream and budget-tier solutions for the older AM4 socket which still holds the majority share but the company has recently started to launch affordable CPU options in its AM5 segment. Seeing the success of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the follow-up to the much popular Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the company introduced new 5600X3D options for budget gamers. Starting at […]

From its announcement, Dysney's Epic Mickey felt unlike any other game starring Mickey Mouse. Instead of the usual colorful platform game, the game developed by Junction Point Studios, a development team founded by the creator of the Deus Ex series Warren Spector, was a darker game that was part of a much wider project to reintroduce Mickey's more adventurous side to a bigger audience. Featuring a very interesting setting that granted players the chance to delve into the more obscure Disney productions and characters, as well as some sort of morality system, the game promised to be a new beginning […]

I wasn't interested in playing The Plucky Squire just by looking at the screenshots. I found the art style slightly peculiar, especially when the main character wasn't in the storybook. Reluctantly, I loaded up the game and found myself having a great time once I got into it. Immediately, you are greeted by a sea of color and vibrancy, and I feel like I've loaded up a kid's game. That statement isn't too far from the truth, but the game was fun to dive into. I went into this without knowing anything about the game. From my first moment of […]

Unlike the Resident Evil series, CAPCOM's other foray into zombie-focused games, the Dead Rising franchise, hasn't seen the same level of success despite getting a loyal following of hardcore fans. Following the fourth entry in the series released back in 2016, photojournalist Frank West seemed to have joined Regina from Dino Crisis and Ryu from Breath of Fire in the graveyard of forgotten CAPCOM's characters, and with the protracted silence on the franchise, it really looked like Dead Rising was done for good. That was not the case. In 2024, the Japanese company confirmed that the first entry in the […]

SteelSeries headsets have long been among my favorite wireless gaming headsets. This is not only because of the good sound quality the brand offers but also because of the comfort and battery life these headpieces pack. Back in May of this year, SteelSeries released its Arctis Nova 5X wireless for consoles and PC, and I was happy to be able to get a sample for testing. I've been testing quite a few wireless outings from SteelSeries over the past few years with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless being the most recent headpiece I reviewed. In the same Nova line, SteelSeries […]

It's been over a year since NVIDIA introduced its Ada Lovelace GPUs, and since then, the lineup has seen various additions with the most recent one being the "SUPER" series which introduced brand new variants in the lineup while replacing the older Non-SUPER models. One of the cards that was still kept in the lineup is the GeForce RTX 4070 and despite its "SUPER" variant offering a nice boost in performance, the 4070 still exists in the current stack owing to its popular demand, mostly due to its price point in the $500 US range. NVIDIA has periodically said that […]

Open-world racing games have become fairly commonplace in recent years, but before the likes of Forza Horizon or The Crew rolled out, we had Test Drive Unlimited. Despite innovating many staples of the modern open-world racer, the franchise has laid dormant since 2011, so there was a fair amount of excitement when a third entry in the series, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, was announced back in 2020. Now that the game has finally arrived after several delays, does Test Crown Unlimited Solar Crown return the series to the top of the open-world racer leaderboard? Or should this franchise have […]

The MARVEL vs. CAPCOM series is a fighting game franchise that needs to introduction. It was the culmination of a long collaboration between the two companies which began back in 1994 with X-Men: Children of the Atom and continued with Marvel Super Heroes the following year. With the release in 1996 of X-Men vs. Street Fighter, the world of fighting games changed forever, thanks to the game's tag system, which allowed players to swap between two different characters at almost any time during a fight and unleash super moves together, a system that was further refined in Marvel Super Heroes […]
