Echoes of the End is the debut title from developer Myrkur Games and is published by Deep Silver. At first glance, at least based on the title, it looks like it has something new to offer, or at least familiar but in a comforting way. But before the tutorial was even over, I was deeply concerned with how negative the familiarity felt, in a way that made it difficult not to compare it to its betters. By the end, however, Echoes of the End pulled together a story and even a few gameplay moments that were meaningful to experience, but […]

Last year, ASRock entered the PSU segment with a diverse range that caters to all kinds of PC users. The entrance into the PSU lineup was a bit of a surprise but not entirely unexpected given that the manufacturer was expanding its component lineup such as gaming monitors and Mini PCs and as we always say, the more the competition and options in the PC industry, the better for consumers. So today, we will be taking a look at one of the several models featured in the ASRock PSU lineup, and it falls in the Steel Legend "Mainstream Durable" tier. […]

New Nintendo consoles tend to launch with a mix of heavy-hitters, like Mario and Zelda, and smaller, quirkier projects designed to show off the system’s unique features. So far, the Nintendo Switch 2 has offered plenty of the former with big games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, but, surprisingly, not really any of those oddball experimental titles. That's about to change with the release of Drag x Drive, a sci-fi-flavored arcade sports game that closely resembles wheelchair basketball and makes use of the mouse functionality and motion controls of the new Joy-Con 2 controllers in ways only […]

It's been three years since the AMD AM5 motherboard platform and the 600-series motherboards launched. Since its launch, the platform has seen the launch of several CPUs in the Ryzen 7000, Ryzen 8000, and Ryzen 9000 families. 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, so AMD has introduced a new chipset line called the 800-series. Now, AMD has introduced both X870 and B850 series chipsets for high-end and mainstream AM5 motherboards. Both of these chips provide brand-new designs and brand-new […]

The popular gaming accessories maker, Genki, has a surprising accessory for PC gamers, which adds a lot of convenience to the desk. The company made a charging hub called Moonbase, which aims to serve as a hub for powering and charging multiple devices at the same time. While the concept isn't new at all, the Moonbase is probably a unique and one of the most premium superchargers for PC setups. While it appears to be excellent for enthusiast PC setups, it can also be used in multiple instances, such as console and productivity setups, as well as in offices. Upon […]

Team Group is indeed one of the more appealing brands to consider for your storage needs. While the company has offered an extensive lineup of NVMe SSDs, the X2 MAX is certainly a standout product, and we'll discuss why ahead. The manufacturer has been expanding its product portfolio for several years now, tapping into newer segments such as Gen4 and Gen5-based offerings. However, in the portable category, the company has a rather confined lineup. However, with the X2 MAX, that looks to change, as this marks Team Group's first initiative to integrate a portable SSD in a USB form factor […]

Mafia: The Old Country launches tomorrow, nearly nine years after the last mainline entry in the franchise, making fans more than eager to get their hands on this new game. Sure, in 2020, there was the Mafia: Definitive Edition remake of the original classic from 2002, but this is a new story, albeit one set in the past. As the title suggests, Mafia: The Old Country does not take place in America's fictional cities of Lost Heaven, Empire Bay, or New Bordeaux. Instead, it is an origin story of the Sicilian Mafia set on Italy's island very early in the […]

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the second fastest graphics card in the "Blackwell" lineup, and features solid performance. The card launched at $999 US, but since launch, we have seen the price hover above the MSRP with premium models retailing close to the $1500 US figure. This is 4090 territory, and while the previous flagship doesn't support DLSS 4 MFG besides the Blackwell enhancements, it is still a potent offering, making the 5080 slightly more difficult to recommend based on its perf/$. Despite that, those of you who want a new Blackwell enthusiast-grade card without spending over $2000 US […]

There’s been no shortage of The Lord of the Rings games over the years, but precious few of them focus on the real stars of J. R. R. Tolkien’s books, the humble hobbits. Granted, outside of the unlikely adventures of the Baggins family, hobbits are known for living rather unexciting lives, so perhaps it’s not surprising that game makers would rather focus on Middle-earth’s elves, orcs, and dragons. But, of course, not all games have to focus on action and excitement – enter Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game,  a new cozy life sim in […]

Not every game, but some games, like Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor 3, deliver exactly what you'd expect by looking at the cover. You shoot Zeds (read: zombies), and when you're done shooting Zeds in one level, there are more Zeds for you to shoot on another. In between the shooting, you'll level up your weapons, refill on ammo and gear, and then go back to shooting Zeds. Oh, and there are also a few narrative-driven tasks to complete, but the main course is shooting Zeds. That's fine, really. I love a strong narrative, but I can just as easily get […]

By now, I have probably reviewed enough 75% layout keyboards to give out a verdict on some of the best ones out there, and with MechLands' Vibe75 V2, it surely was one of those units that deserves appreciation. We managed to review the company's larger Vibe99 keyboard, but this unit has a much cooler vibe, not just in terms of the design, but performance. We'll go ahead and explain everything. MechLands Vibe75 V2 Keyboard Review: Budget-Friendly, Flashy & a Better Typing Experience Given my workplace's size, I have a "slight" bias towards compact keyboards since they have a functionality of […]

I have reviewed several GameSir controllers at this time, and while they share many commonalities, each model brings its unique style to the table in both aesthetics and functionality. GameSir's latest G7 Pro is similar, but it brings more innovation. The G7 Pro is GameSir's flagship controller, which succeeds the G7 SE and is kinda competitive to the Tarantula Pro, which was one of the most overwhelming controllers I have ever used. Nonetheless, the G7 Pro simplifies that and still manages to bring a lot to the table, but it's important to consider all its rivals to see if it […]

Soulike games are truly everywhere nowadays. Back when FromSoftware's Souls series did not have the immense popularity it enjoys nowadays, the release of any game inspired by the series was an event in itself. However, today's increased offerings for hardcore action RPGs have led to some stagnation for the genre. While many Souslike games released in the past few years are solid games, very few of them are true standouts, as the vast majority of these games opt to stay within the boundaries of a tried and true formula that is starting to get a little tiring. In this regard, […]

Well, I have realized that I am getting more fond of reviewing gaming keyboards, and I have a really exciting product at my desk. Now, MechLands isn't as mainstream as some of its competitors, but they have come up with really awesome keyboards, one of which is the Vibe99, which is claimed to be one of the most impressive budget-oriented option by the company, so let's take a look into it.

ASRock's journey into the gaming monitor segment has been very recent. The company introduced its first gaming monitor within the "Phantom Gaming" lineup in 2022, just three years back, and since then, they have been really aggressive in this space, introducing new designs with the latest technologies, and at very competitive price points. Since the first launch, the company has introduced a total of 21 monitors, featuring OLED, IPS, and VA panels.

OXS is a relatively new name in the peripherals industry and has a few products that are specially designed for an immersive gaming experience. The company currently deals in audio products and has produced a few headsets and speakers, which aim to offer high audio fidelity. Its latest offering is the Storm A2, which succeeds its most popular headset, called Storm G2, which is a fancy RGB gaming headset for gamers. The Storm A2 appears to be a more serious design, intended for professionals and perhaps audiophiles who seek solid audio delivery and functionality that can be used across multiple […]

Nostalgia is only going to get you so far, when revisiting something from your youth. Sometimes it'll get you too far, and as a critic, it's important to be aware of those instances, so you're not ignoring the faults in a game or product to the detriment of your work. Thankfully, that's not something I had to worry about at all with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 when I sat down to begin playing it for my review. I have practically no nostalgic love for the series. I was the right age to play them growing up, I had the […]

Despite being the franchise that started it all for Nintendo, Donkey Kong has never been as meticulously managed as, say, Mario or Zelda. For decades, DK was largely entrusted to teams outside Nintendo’s core Japanese development structure, with the likes of Rare, Retro Studios, and the occasional third party offering their own varying spins on the franchise. That said, between a major role in the recent Super Mario Bros. movie and new Universal Studios attractions, it seems clear Nintendo is interested in returning Donkey Kong to true top-tier franchise status. As part of this, Nintendo is rolling out Donkey Kong […]

Regular mid-towers are a thing of the past. Most PC case manufacturers are now experimenting with unusual designs, stuff that most people would never even think of. Surely, PC cases do not hold as big of a status in our minds as a CPU or GPU, but they can indirectly influence the performance of a computer. Case manufacturers are becoming more creative when it comes to airflow and we have seen so many of them that it feels like there is no limit to unique designs. Once such a design is seen on the OmnyX mid-tower chassis by COUGAR, which […]

Intel entered the discrete graphics card market two years ago with its Alchemist architecture. The launch was highly anticipated, as the company entered a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD for decades. But not everything went as planned. Intel's Arc A-series "Alchemist" graphics cards launched after much delay & even a delayed launch couldn't help the blue team's case as it was plagued with severe driver issues, software problems, and general gaming issues. This left a sour note in the minds of folks who had been waiting to see what Intel had to offer. Following the launch, there were several […]

AMD's high-performance CPU journey continues on the desktop platform with the arrival of the Zen 5 core architecture. The new architecture has several fundamental changes that allow huge performance uplifts in single-core and multi-core applications. These can be attributed to the 16 percent IPC improvement that the new architecture has on offer. Replacing the AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" CPUs, the Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs do not change the core configurations but enhance them in certain ways. The architectural upgrades allow Zen 5 chips to run cooler, consume lower power, and support the latest features on existing and upcoming […]
