Rockstar’s thirteen-year-old cowboy simulator, Red Dead Redemption, has had a surprise re-release on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. I’ve been cowboying on the go with the Switch version of the legendary game. Continue reading Red Dead Redemption Nintendo Switch review
Billed as the ultimate graphics cards for 1440p, AMD’s new Radeon RX 7800 XT and its sibling the Radeon RX 7700 XT aim to take on Nvidia in the contested, and very expensive, mid-range graphics card market. We were sent an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT reference card to test, which was perfect timing with the release of Bethesda’s AMD-optimised Starfield. Continue reading AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT review
As a lover of gaming tat, Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield Constellation Edition is right up my alley. But, no stranger to ridiculously expensive and slightly iffy collector’s edition versions of its games, Bethesda may have really outdone themselves this time. Continue reading Starfield Constellation Edition unboxing
The EPOS EXPAND Vision 1 is a 4K personal webcam designed for video conferencing. I take a look.
Most laptops have reasonably good built-in cameras and microphones. They are usually intended for ad hoc video calls where quality is not a prime concern. With tiny lenses and mics built into modern laptops’ increasingly bezels, they do a pretty good job. Continue reading EPOS EXPAND Vision 1 4K webcam review
The Aspera AS8 is a 6-inch Australian budget smartphone powered by Android 13 Go Edition. The folks at Aspera sent over a mint-coloured handset for me to test.
I’ve looked at a few phones from Aspera in the past. By and large, they offer very good value for money for devices that come in at almost throwaway prices.

These are phones for folks who don’t see the need to splash out a fortune on something likely to get lost or broken. Continue reading Aspera AS8 smartphone review
HyperX has released a version of their Cloud Stinger 2 headset specifically designed for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Matching the colours of the PlayStation 5 branding, this Cloud Stinger 2 headset is in brilliant white with an inlay of black and a flash of blue. The slimline box, as well, ditches the traditional red and white HyperX livery and is instead a more reserved white and navy blue.

Deck13 Interactive’s Atlas Fallen is a fast-paced combat RPG set in a fantasy realm.
The game starts with players selecting their own customisable avatar. As an Unnamed, the player’s character is in servitude to a malevolent regime. On discovering and bonding with a mystical gauntlet they are introduced to a peculiar guiding spirit called Nyaal. To be honest the story is pure forgettable hokum and you’ll remember the game more for its mechanics than the tale that surrounds them. Continue reading Atlas Fallen PC review
