Having a dedicated home theatre may not be feasible for everyone, particularly when factors like space, cost, and installation make it challenging. The Dangbei N2 Mini might change your mind, especially if you want to mitigate all those challenges to a great extent. The N2 Mini is just a compact version of the Dangbei N2, and while it does downgrade some of the specs, many of the features remain on the Mini version. If you are someone who wants a compact home theatre system at an affordable price, then the N2 Mini might be a compelling option. But before you […]

It's been two years since the launch of the Crucial T700, the company's fastest Gen5 SSD. Delivering up to 12.4 GB/s speeds, the T700 was phenomenal throughout our tests, and leveraged Phison's E28 controller. The company also introduced its follow-up, the T705, which features up to 14.5 GB/s speeds. Now, Crucial is unveiling its new flagship product, The T710, which pushes things up to the next level, and leverages Silicon Motion's SM2508 controller alongside Micron's G9 NAND Flash. These combinations are helping T710 deliver well over 14 GB/s speeds which is a new benchmark for high-performance SSDs. One of the […]

Gamesir is one of the renowned companies offering an extensive portfolio of portable gaming products. One of their specialties is gaming controllers, especially the wireless ones. We have extensively reviewed several of their models in the past, but the SuperNova most likely exceeds them all, not just in the connectivity experience but also in the user-friendliness. Gamesir was kind enough to provide us with a review unit of the SuperNova controller. Compared to its "presumed" predecessor, the Cyclone 2, the company has integrated several new additions, including swappable faceplates, multi-platform connectivity, and much more, which we'll discuss. Here's an extensive […]

Popular mouse manufacturers are racing to deliver the best possible sensor, ergonomics, and customizability for gaming, but Ragnok has different plans. Instead of competing in the same category, the company is thinking out of the box to offer more "immersive" gaming experiences. After releasing its first gun-mouse, the FireGrip, the company has debuted a brand new gaming mouse called "ErgoStrike 7", which is drastically different from the previous one. Not only does it resemble an actual gun, but it also offers much more than the FireGrip. In this post, we will go through the specs, features, and performance of the […]

When I first saw that Sifu developer Sloclap would be shifting gears to make a football game with Rematch, I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed. I like football and sports games well enough. I don't necessarily play EA Sports FC every year, but I've always liked hitting the pitch with my friends, and getting between the posts to make some killer saves, since my preferred position is playing goalie. I loved Sifu when it released in 2022. It was one of my favorite games that year because of how mechanically tight the gameplay […]

Gen5 SSDs have been out for a good while now, and they still haven't managed to capture the attention of mainstream audiences. The standard, despite seeing significant drops in prices & supply getting much better, these products are still positioned in the enthusiast category, and manufacturers are trying to promote their storage solutions with some innovative ideas, which mostly involve cooling solutions.

Remedy Entertainment is a development studio that doesn't need any introduction. The Finnish developer has been around for a very long time, and in the long years of activity, it has released some incredible games that have etched themselves in the minds of those who experienced them, like the first two entries in the Max Payne series, the two entries in the Alan Wake series and Control, the game which effectively kickstarted the Remedy Connected Universe that connects the latter two series, and who knows what else in the future.

Since the Souls series formula has become popular among players, countless games have tried to recapture what makes FromSoftware's hardcore action role-playing games so engaging, but only a few have managed to even get close. Among these is NEOWIZ and Round8 Studio's Lies of P, which still stands, a few years since its release, as the game that got the closest to recapturing the haunting atmosphere of the beloved Bloodborne. Launching almost two years after the base game's release, the Lies of P: Overture DLC promised, before its release, to provide more of the same solid experience players have been […]

While not a smash hit, the 2021 EA Originals release Lost in Random has earned a modest yet dedicated fanbase thanks to its memorable Tim-Burton-meets-Double-Fine setting and unique combat system that incorporates cards, dice rolls, and other board-gamey elements. In the years since its release, the main creative minds behind Lost in Random went their own way, recently releasing a rather charming little horror game called The Midnight Walk, while original Lost in Random developer Zoink (now merged with another studio and rebranded as Stormteller Games) have opted to take the series in a new direction.

Nintendo don't release new consoles often, and when they do, it's big news. This is particularly true in the home console market, rather than pure handheld, though the Switch did bridge that gap in what was an interesting move then. Of course, Nintendo aren't always successful; see the Wii U. Often, they like to try something new, rarely going for "more powerful". Following the Wii's overwhelming success, the Wii U's flop, and the Switch's world-beating figures, I can't necessarily blame them for just going for "the same but better". This brings us to the Nintendo Switch 2, which I can […]

After two months, the RDNA 4 lineup finally expands into the entry-level segment with the arrival of the Radeon RX 9060 XT series. The new lineup features the same architecture as the RX 9070 series graphics cards and also adopts the same gaming innovations, which are crucial for winning in the budget segment. So for today's review, we will be trying out the ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Steel Legend OC, which has an MSRP of $389.99.

The announcement of Elden Ring Nightreign last year was a surprise for most players. Following the release of what has become FromSoftware's most celebrated action RPG to date and its expansion, it has been reiterated multiple times that a sequel was not in development, suggesting that it would be a while until Tarnished could return to the Lands Between, counting teased IP expansions that most thought were a few years away.

F1 games are ones I've played quite a lot in the past. Most of them, in reality. Having seen Codemasters grow the series and their acquisition by EA, it would always be interesting to see how they progress the series in the future.

Spanish game development studio MercurySteam may not be among the most popular video game development studios, but the team would definitely deserve far better recognition for having contributed much to popular classic series like Konami's Castlevania and Nintendo's Metroid. It's with the latter series that the developer showed its chops the best, creating with Metroid Dread what is, in my opinion, one of the best entries in the entire franchise. Still, MercurySteam has yet to put out that one original game that would put them on most players' radars. Is the studio's first original game in a while, Blades of […]

AceZone is far from being a widely recognizable brand, but there's no doubt that the Danish company deserves to be as popular as other headset manufacturers, as its products geared towards eSports are of the highest quality, and are absolutely worthy of their prices.

DOOM, a series likely thought dead during its twelve-year hiatus (not including re-releases) between DOOM 3 and 2016's DOOM reboot, is on a high. The success of DOOM, followed by the release of DOOM Eternal, means it was inevitable that a new release would come. What I didn't expect was the direction of that, which is where DOOM: The Dark Ages comes in. By abandoning multiplayer and opting for a pure single-player and narrative-focused experience, DOOM: The Dark Ages takes the series somewhere different and a little medieval. DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM […]

There can be something strangely unsettling about stop-motion animation, particularly the old-school stuff made before the likes of Wallace & Gromit gave the medium a softer edge. A few games over the years have tapped into that stop-motion aesthetic (last year's Harold Halibut being a good example) but the new handcrafted horror game The Midnight Walk really leans into the creepiness that sometimes accompanies the art form. The makers of The Midnight Walk, veterans of games like Fe and Lost in Random, went the extra mile, constructing actual physical models of all their characters and key props, which were then […]

Ever since FromSoftware's Souls series started rising in popularity, the vast majority of action role-playing games developed by smaller and more established studios have been inspired in some capacity by the Japanese developer's franchise. While many of these games are great experiences on their own, they highlighted how the genre is suffering from some homogenization, where very few are the games that try to break from the mould and offer something different. For this reason, I could not help but appreciate Empyreal's approach to the genre when I first tried it in February. While the game doesn't leave a great […]

When Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was announced last year, it came out of nowhere and immediately captured the attention of role-playing game enthusiasts. With traditional party-based role-playing games finding less and less representation in the AAA space, the debut game from Sandfall Interactive looked like the game that could bring the genre into the spotlight without being a nostalgia-fueled experience, as the setting, story and main cast of characters looked very unique, and far removed from those we are now used to see in similar games. In the end, the game's dark fantasy Belle Époque setting, the members of Expedition […]

Furthermore, these Gen5 drives became more accessible to a wider range of audiences with the introduction of mainstream AMD & Intel boards.
