Compile Heart/Dark Rose Valkyrie/fan service/Idea Factory/Idea Factory International/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Dark Rose Valkyrie was meant to be a relatively serious take on Compile Heart’s usual modus operandi. The house that built Hyperdimension Neptunia, Omega Quintet and Fairy Fencer has always been polarising, and that’s for a simple reason; this studio loves showing off the panties of…

Gadget Review: Tesoro Tuned In-Ear Pro Headphones

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Headphones/Tesoro/Tesoro Tuned In-Ear Pro Headphones

Review by Nick H. The Tesoro Tuned In-Ear Pro Headphones deliver fairly big sound for being such little devices, but there is a bit of a cost to them. Not monetarily, because the price is right, but in their design which helps to deliver the quality audio but in the…

Article by Matt S. Here’s the thing about stepping into a game that has had a loyal fanbase and been expanded on and built out over a period of 11 years; it becomes very difficult for new players to get into it. Especially if the people behind the game don’t…

Review: Bloons TD 5 (Sony PlayStation 4)

Bloons/Bloons TD 5/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Tower defence/Tower Defense

Review by Sam M. Bloons has been around for years, originally starting as a small Flash game which I remember fondly trying to sneakily play while I was meant to be doing work on the computer at school. Much like the countless of tower defence games well before it, and…

News by Matt S. I’ll admit that I had put Fire Emblem Heroes down over the last few months. I love the game (really love it), but I’ve just not had the time to dedicate to it. So naturally Intelligent Systems comes up with the perfect way of forcing me…

Review by Matt S. I’ve never really been a fan of Tekken. Perhaps on a subliminal level the infamous rivalry between the creator of Dead or Alive and the creator of Tekken got to me. Or perhaps not. I’ve always appreciated the series for what it’s achieved, but I’ve never…

Review by Lindsay M. “You’re a wizard, Harry… And a thumpin’ good one, I’ll wager, once you’ve been trained up a bit and can spell long words with random letters quickly while using a joystick and remembering odd button choices.” Related reading: This actually isn’t the first word RPG on…

Review by Nick H. The Durandal Spectrum is a very solid keyboard, with some nice options and steady overall performance that provides some nice flexibility due to its design as well. At a glance, the Durandal Spectrum is a nice-looking keyboard. It has a hefty weight to it, giving the…
