Hyrule Warriors has grown from a spinoff to a full-fledged series in its own right relatively quickly, with the soon-to-be-released Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment being the third Zelda-themed Musou game to arrive in roughly a decade. Age of Imprisonment once again serves up a hearty helping of Dynasty-Warriors-style hack ‘n’ slash action while promising to fill in some key details of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s backstory. Is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment a smashing good time? Or can you safely pass on this particular prequel? Time to wade into the fray. The previous entry in […]

It's been three years since the AMD AM5 motherboard platform and the 600-series motherboards launched. 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, so AMD has introduced a new chipset line called the 800-series. Now, AMD has introduced both X870 and B850 series chipsets for high-end and mainstream AM5 motherboards. Both of these chips provide brand-new designs and brand-new […]

Although Valve's Steam Deck is relatively old compared to mainstream handhelds, it remains a capable device that supports several AAA titles. However, to 'supercharge' your experience, Dockcase has introduced their newest Chizha Mount Ling Dock for Steam Deck, and they were kind enough to send us an 'exclusive' review sample. After testing the dock for several days, I must say, it is indeed an accessory that every Valve fan out there should own, since it really brings in 'valuable' benefits and add-ons. Steam Deck Chizha Mount Ling Dock - LAN Support, Extra M.2 SSD Slot & Futuristic Design Since the […]

Despite being the series that defined Japanese role-playing games, Dragon Quest took some time to get the widespread recognition it deserved in North America and Europe. Nowadays, the franchise created by Yuji Horii is a household name as much as Final Fantasy is, and the popularity of the franchise led to the successful release of the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a very solid remake that was met with a warm reception from fans, thanks to its great visuals and how small choice tweaks made the classic gameplay more compelling. Remaking the remainder of the Erdrick trilogy, however, needed something […]

So, I stumbled upon this interesting portable monitor, which is unusually large to be called "portable", but considering there are users who would want something that can be useful for both travel and regular use, the UMax 24 looked interesting. I have reviewed a few UPERFECT portable monitors, including the Dual-Stack UStation Delta Max, which is one of the best options for work and gaming. However, UMax's big 24.5-inch screen size makes it an interesting option for daily usage if you are considering a versatile option for your desktop and travel. Personally, I wanted to see if I could replace […]

The Outer Worlds 2 arrives six years after Obsidian Entertainment launched The Outer Worlds on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. At the time, I was excited to play it and to see what the studio was building in this space-faring adventure. I picked up my copy right at launch, and thought, like many others, that it got off to a great start. It was funny, the world felt interesting, and I liked the game's premise. Unfortunately, I soured on it long before I would even get close to credits, due to a mix of the gameplay and the story […]

In recent years, the trend for core Pokémon RPGs has been to push for ever-larger sandboxes, with the recent Pokémon Scarlet and Violet offering a full-on Breath-of-the-Wild-style open world. The newly-released Pokémon Legends: Z-A bucks that particular trend, instead restricting the critter catching to a single relatively compact city map, while introducing a number of other tweaks to the Pokémon blueprint. Will Pokémon Legends: Z-A transform fans into enthusiastic city slickers? Or will you be left yearning for a return to nature? Here are the ABCs of Z-A... Pokémon Legends: Z-A casts players as a tourist visitor to Lumiose City, […]

The DDR5 memory segment has been experiencing significant activity as it becomes standardized across all PC platforms. With memory prices dropping and the latest platforms becoming affordable, memory makers are constantly offering new solutions. Some focus on high-end specifications, while others focus on strengthening their gaming product portfolios. Two years ago, Crucial (Micron) introduced its first desktop-ready DDR5 UDIMMs & more recently, we saw the PRO overclocking series, offering speeds of up to 6000 MT/s. While the former are designed following JEDEC specs to make sure that they are compatible with all PC platforms, the latter are designed for more performant […]

2025 has been a killer year for ninjas. Not only have we seen the resurgence of Shinobi developed by the folks at Lizardcube but another Ninja Gaiden title also dropped over the summer from The Game Kitchen. Now, mere days after the untimely passing of the man behind the series reboot on the original Xbox, it’s time for the first new numbered title in the Ninja Gaiden franchise in fourteen years and the first of the modern series to not feature super ninja Ryu Hayabusa front and center. Can PlatinumGames prove they’ve got a mastery of ninjutsu, or is this […]

We have reviewed several mini-PCs extensively in the past, ranging from vendors like ACEMAGIC and Geekcom, but BOSGAME is a new addition to our portfolio, and the first product that they have sent us is an impressive device, which we'll discuss extensively in the review.

A long time ago, developers Double Fine burst onto the scene with the flop that was Psychonauts, following this up with the equally floppy Brütal Legend. Of course, Psychonauts became a cult classic, and I enjoyed Jack Black's Musical Strategy more than most. However, these efforts resulted in Double Fine spending a few years creating smaller titles before the massive Kickstarter success of Broken Age, followed by Psychonauts 2's success on the Fig crowdfunding network, and the acquisition by Microsoft. This brings us to Keeper, their first game in four years. So with that long introduction out of the way, […]

It's been over six and a half years since the original announcement of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. Fans had been clamoring for a sequel for years; even though the 2004 action RPG developed by Troika Games was commercially unsuccessful, mainly due to launch bugs and being squeezed in what we have called gaming's greatest month ever, leading to the closure of Troika, Bloodlines eventually gained a cult following and was rightfully recognized as an excellent roleplaying game. The developer picked by publisher Paradox, Hardsuit Labs, had no RPGs in their track record. However, they had enlisted Brian Mitsoda, […]

Before I sat down in front of a television set with a controller in my hand to play a video game, I played games inches away from my face while squeezing my Game Boy for hours on end. There's many a childhood photo of me with my face buried in a handheld device, with a personal favourite being one where I'm deep into my Game Boy Advance SP on a beach. Those handheld beginnings and the handheld-focused gaming upbringing I had make me, in theory, one of the many who would get a lot of use out of a device […]

Corsair's gaming equipment is one of the leading ones out there, not just in terms of the experience they bring onboard, but the manufacturer is a primary adopter for newer standards in the peripheral segment, which is why their newest Vanguard Pro 96 is a keyboard that I wasn't expecting at all. While this is one of the first times I have reviewed a Corsair keyboard, there's no doubt that the Vanguard Pro 96 stands out in several aspects, which we'll discuss in depth ahead.

The Little Nightmares franchise has been a bit of a surprise hit, moving over 20 million units to date, so it’s not surprising that publisher Bandai Namco has opted to continue on with a third entry even though series creators Tarsier Studios has decided to move on. Little Nightmares III instead comes to us from the horror specialists at Supermassive Games, who have made a clear effort to recreate the look and feel of previous entries in the series.   Is Little Nightmares III a successful continuation of the franchise? Or is it time to wake from this recurring dream? […]

Battlefield 6 has a lot on its shoulders. EA put the effort of four studios together under the Battlefield Studios banner (Motive, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and DICE) to try and get a win for the series after the overall loss that was Battlefield 2042. As of last week, it has to try to get people to forget that, in a year's time, EA will likely be a very different company under its new ownership, despite what chief executive officer Andrew Wilson might claim. It also has to try to compete with an annual franchise that makes up for nearly half […]

SSD manufacturers are emerging in the market with great frequency these days, giving mainstream competitors like Crucial, TeamGroup, and Samsung a run for their money by providing decent value and performance as well. Similarly, a newer vendor, 'GiGimundo,' which was previously active on retail platforms, approached us with one of their popular offerings, the GS5 PCIe Gen 4.0 storage drive, and here's an extensive review. When I first looked up the company's name on Google, I saw that the manufacturer doesn't entirely specialize in storage products; rather, it has diversified into portable drives, USB hubs, and other accessories.
