• Sennheiser GSP 600 Headset Review – Expensive, But Amazing

    Sennheiser have built themselves a sterling reputation over the years, and in doing so have become a name many people are familiar with. Their headphones and headsets and erphones (is there a consensus on the correct terms, yet?) range from cheap and cheerful to eye-wateringly expensive, so today I’m checking out something on the more…

  • Steelseries Rival 600 Review – Just A Damn Good Mouse

    Steelseries have been on a roll really, pumping out a bunch of solid mice, keyboards and headsets that have all done rather well critically and commercially. The Rival series of mice in particular has got a lot of fans, and indeed it wasn’t that long ago I reviewed the Rival 700 with its little OLED…

  • Stuffed Fables Review – Enchantingly Fun

    As a child – which is assuming I’ve actually progressed mentally from that point, which I clearly haven’t – I had freaking loads of teddies in the shape of monkeys and apes that had pride of place on my bed, their job being to defend me from the potential horrors that lurk within dreams and…

  • Extinction Review – The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall

    If Pacific Rim, Godzilla and Cloverfield have shown us anything it’s that we really like giant monsters smashing buildings. And why not? It’s awesome. It’s also something Extinction wants to capatilize on by tossing together destroyable buildings and huge beasts that have an appetite for destruction

  • Murderous Pursuits Preview – Murder Most Okay

    As I admire a painting while munching on a pork pie I can’t but help reflect on the senseless violence that I’ve been a part of over the years. How many enemy combatants have I gunned down without a second thought? How many people have I run over? How often have I just punched people…

  • Firefly Adventures: Brigands & Browncoats Review – Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

    Y’know, it has been a while since I professed my undying and eternal love for Firefly, a cult sci-fi show that didn’t even get to run for a full season before it was callously canceled by those muppets at Fox, a crime so heinous that I still have not forgiven them. The point is for…

  • Goblin Grapple Kickstarter Review – I Grappled, I Groped

    Ah Goblins. They got their big break in the Lord of the Rings movies, really. They’ve always been lurking in fantasy, but when Peter Jackson brought the epic books to life suddenly Goblins were all the rage, with everybody wanting to have them in their games and their books and their movies. And now look…

  • Far Cry 5 Review – It’s Not A Far Cry From Far Cry

    For better or for worse Far Cry 5 is very much a Far Cry game. Ubisoft isn’t known for their big risks, though, so it’s hardly surprising that six Far Cry games in (not counting Blood Dragon as a full game) they don’t want to take huge risks with a series that has clearly been…

  • SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 7.1 Headset Review – Whisper Sweet Nothings In My Ear, Baby

    Oh, the freedom of having no wires attached to you yet still being able to chat with friends or listen to music while wandering around naked in your own home clutching a bowl of coco-pops like it’s the only thing left in your life worth anything. Yup, the wireless age is a golden one, or…

  • Surviving Mars Review – But Where’s Matt Damon!?

    Mars, the Red Planet that has always held a strange fascination for us little Earthlings. Like so many, I watched the film adaption of The Martian and was intrigued by the story of survival on an alien world. Scientists and regular ol’ people have long dreamed of colonizing Mars, but just how difficult a task…
