Review by Matt S. It would be very easy to dismiss Sleeping Dogs as yet another open world game-thing. And indeed that seems to be what a lot of people dismissed the game as being in its initial release on the last generation of hardware. It sold decently, but it…

News by Clark A. If you’re familiar with long-running anime, the name Case Closed (or “Detective Conan” if you’re so disposed) should ring a bell. The popular detective fiction franchise recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and now spans more than 84 manga volumes and 750 anime episodes. Shinichi Kudo’s not…

Review by Nick H. If you are going insane, it is generally assumed you are the last to know. But, can you ever really believe what you eyes and ears are telling you? If you ignore what is in front of you, is it for the best or are you…

News by Jedediah H. Do you recall during the inexperience of your childhood what you wanted to be when you grew up? I aspired to be three things (other than a samurai secret agent): a gaming journalist, a daringly burly and descriptive creative writer, and a comedic political satirist (really,…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Headphones/iHome/iHome iB50 Active Noise Canceling Headphones

Review by Nick H. Headsets are often flashy, but they have some other very specific functions. This can range from delivering good microphone audio to software to help adjust the equalisation. These often are used on home entertainment centres or when someone is spending hours on a PC. Headphones, meanwhile, usually…

Review by Matt S. With all the coverage that we’ve been giving Hatsune Miku and her band of adorable vocaloids, I thought that it would be a good time to review a series of Hatsune Miku (and friends) art books by Udon Entertainment. And so each day this week we’ll…

Review by Shaan J. Crytek’s Ryse: Son of Rome feels like a game burdened by the advancements the game industry has seen over the last few of years. While I’m sure no one on the development team will freely admit so, Ryse attempts to curate a blood-soaked experience, long before…

Atlus/JRPG/PS3 Review/Reviews/RPG/Sony PlayStation 3/Tactics RPG/Tears to Tiara/Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Tears to Tiara 2: Heir of the Overlord is the kind of game that you’d expect from a console at the end of its life. It’s neither big budget nor high profile, and it is resolutely and unapologetically a game for the genre fans. It even…

Review by Nick H. iPhones and iPads are great because they offer so much entertainment on the go. But boy are those speakers in them underwhelming. That’s not a problem when you’re out and about. That’s what headphones are for, after all. But what about just moving around the house?…
