Bluetooth Speaker/Divoom/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/speaker

Review by Rob P. What do you look for in an everyday Bluetooth speaker? Decent build quality? Definitely. Good value? Absolutely. Long battery life? Of course. Incredible sound? Whoa, hold on there for a minute. The fact is, great sound doesn’t come cheap. Bluetooth speakers do a good job of…

Review by Matt S. Transformers is clearly the perfect material for games, but as we’ve seen from the films, potential and execution are very different things. The franchise has been around for decades now, and so effectively taps into that warm sense of nostalgia that is so appealing to adults.…

Indie/PC/puzzle/Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube/Reviews

Review by Trent P. Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is an atmospheric game, if nothing else. Set in a world based in the sky players need to complete block-style puzzles in order to progress. At first I found myself bewildered by the experience. The first few levels were designed as tutorials,…

Preview by Pierre-Yves L. By taking a casual look at FortressCraft Evolved, you might mistake it for Minecraft. After all, they both share a similar visual style and basic gameplay mechanics. But that is where all the similarity ends. FortressCraft is an early access game on Steam that shows a…

News by Matt S. You would think after the success of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn that Square Enix would have a new level of confidence in its MMO games in the west. But, no, we still have no announcement of a western localisation for Dragon Quest X, despite…

Opinion by Jedediah H. Like how a brooding, reverent vampire has a preference for a particular blood type (as well as the shape and heft of the chalice from which she sips it), gamers, when forced to choose, have strict preferences regarding the strength of particular components that make up…

action RPG/anime game/JRPG/On Piece: Unlimited World Red/One Piece/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 3

Review by Matt S. One Piece deserves better than the games it typically gets. There’s been a few that have been quite a lot of fun (such as the Warriors games), but for the most part One Piece’s games have been little better than generic license tie-in, despite being one…

News by Jedediah H. Inspired by an unrealistic amount of hours playing the likes of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Megaman, Metroid, and Limbo, Memories is a confident mixture of action, puzzle-platforming, and a forebodingly dark atmosphere that will have you reminiscing of your formative gaming years (while playfully punching…

2D platformer/Early Access/Indie/PC/platformer/Preview/puzzle platformer/Retro/The Terrain Saga

Preview by Jim S. Terrian Saga is an action platformer that is reminding me a lot of the games I played as a child. It’s almost like a mix of Mega Man and Commander Keen. Players will take control over KR-17, a small military robot with a surprising amount of…
