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 […]

Assassin's Creed Shadows is hardly going to be remembered as the finest entry in the series or the best open-world game set in Feudal Japan, but the good the game does definitely outweighs the bad, making for an enjoyable experience whose real fault lies in the series' now trademark content bloat and the by-the-book open-world ARPG experience rather than in the bad execution of any of its features. Coming only a few months after the base game, no one should have expected the Assassin's Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji expansion to address any of the issues of the base game, […]

When it comes to Mini PCs, Geekom is a name that most of you will be familiar with as they offer a wide range of solutions based on AMD and Intel hardware. We have covered a range of Mini PCs in the last couple of years, featuring the latest and greatest solutions from each CPU vendor. While we have seen some incredibly powerful options that cost a premium, Geekom has now announced its high-end AMD solution, the Geekom A9 Max, a Mini PC powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU. This is a top-of-the-line solution that has […]

Beelink was established in 2011 & is regarded as one of the top sellers in the Mini PC category at Amazon. The company has a diverse portfolio of Mini PCs, Players, and gadgets, but the core focus is on the Mini PC segment, which includes both Intel and AMD options. While we have looked at several of Beelink's Mini PC options in the past, ranging from AMD & Intel CPUs, the company has introduced a new Intel model recently, the EQi13 Pro, which features up to an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, along with very decent capabilities given its price of […]

Dead Reset is the latest and 17th FMV game from Wales Interactive, a studio that has done just FMV titles, but it’s a well the studio draws from, more than it does from making more roguelike deckbuilders, survival FPS games, 2.5D auto-attack survival games, and VR titles, to name just a few of the ways the studio bounces around. Not only is Dead Reset not the studio’s first time making an FMV game, but it’s also not the first time it’s done a horror-flavored FMV game. This is all to say that I have to believe Wales Interactive knows a […]

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 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, which is why AMD has introduced a new chipset line called the 800-series. The first wave of AMD 800-series motherboards (X870E & X870) hit shelves last year with the Ryzen 9000 series, & these […]

Following the release of several horror games to a reception ranging from positive to mildly negative, sometimes due to how particular sensitive themes were addressed, Polish developer Bloober Team has risen considerably in the estimation of survival horror fans for the excellent work the studio has done with the Silent Hill 2 remake, a faithful adaptation of the classic Konami game enhanced by some modern features that make it a joy to play. While the Polish studio is set to continue this fruitful collaboration with the development of the remake of the first entry in the series, Bloober Team is […]

Corsair’s Void line has been among my favorites for some time now —solid gaming audio, cool looks, and a price that doesn’t make my wallet cry. The Corsair Void Wireless v2, priced at $119.99, steps up from the old Void RGB Elite Wireless with a featherlight design, a mic that’s ready for prime time, and battery life that just keeps going. It’s got some quirks, especially for console players, but for PC gamers, this thing’s a steal. Let’s dive in and see what it’s packing. Design and features The Void Wireless v2 rocks that bold, angular Void style—like something out […]

I've been intrigued by the third major release from Montreal-based developer Rogue Factor, Hell is Us, ever since I first saw its debut in 2022. The teaser trailer didn't give away much, and frankly, there's a lot about that original trailer that looks very different now, even if I can look back on it and recognize what every element of it refers to now that I've hit credits on it days ahead of its full release. But I've kept the game in the back of my mind for years now, which has its own layer of expectation building, even though […]

Dangbei has further expanded its projector catalog by introducing new models, but this one is particularly special because it is its flagship offering, which aims to compete with premium 4K projectors from Dangbei rivals. Dangbei's MP1 Max was first showcased earlier this year at CES and has been recently released for purchase, giving users a premium choice to view high-fidelity content at up to 4K resolution.

Solid Snake is one of the most iconic heroes of the stealth genre, perhaps even more than Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell fame. But this isn’t a game centered around Solid Snake himself. Rather, Snake Eater focuses on his predecessor, Big Boss, and how he came to inherit that title. Originally the third title in the Metal Gear Solid series and one of the most critically acclaimed stealth games of all time, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remakes that iconic spy thriller for a whole new generation. In a lot of ways, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater reminds […]

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 […]

MSI's liquid cooling lineup was expanded at Computex 2025 with a range of new mainstream and high-end AIO coolers.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
