News by Matt S.If you’re an old dude like me, then you’ll remember Worlds of Power, a series of novelisations of classic games such as Metal Gear, Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania. These things were so bad they were truly awesome for a young kid who was in love with all…

Far Cry/Far Cry 4/FPS/open world game/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Ubisoft

Review by Nick H. Far Cry 4 is in every way a summer blockbuster movie – only it has been released at a time of year that is decidedly anything but summer. It is full of big, explosive moments and is constantly trying to outdo itself for the big, explosive…

Review by Matt S. It’s not often that you’ll read this, but Chain Chronicle is a genuinely good mobile free-to-play game. And I don’t just mean in the context of mobile games, or in comparison to other free-to-play games. Chain Chronicle is a good game in comparison to all those…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Headset/PDP/PDP Afterglow Kral PS4 Wireless Headset/Performance Designed Products

Review by Nick H. I have got to say that one of the main draws of the Afterglow headsets is lost on me, because I really do not care for the fact they glow. That being said, I do generally like the construction and the way they function, and the…

Review by Matt S. Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!!! has been a sharp reminder to me that when it comes to fighting games, I want more than a workable combat system. Examu’s semi-sequel to Arcana Heart 3 is a very workable fighting game, but unless you’re a hardcore fighting game…

2K Sports/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Sports/wrestling game/WWE 2K15/Yuke's

3DS Review/Nintendo 3DS/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Tetris/Tetris Ultimate/Ubisoft

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Tetris is the kind of game that you’ll never forget your first experience playing. At first you’ll ask yourself why anyone would find such a simple, basic game would be challenging or interesting. But then then pace of the game starts speeding up, and soon enough…

November 25, 2014

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Klipsch/Klipsch R-10B Soundbar/soundbar

Review by Rob P. Klipsch’s R-10B Soundbar is full of contradictions. It’s big, bold and in-your-face. It’s delicate and subtle. It’s expensive, but good value. It can be loud enough to attract complaints from the neighbours or as quiet as distant thunder. Still, there’s one fact that’s beyond debate. This…
