Maono PD300X review - "Mic check how professional this looks!"We are a species of excess; we like to have things simply because we enjoy having things. You've probably found yourself scrolling the web or wandering about when an ad for something cool catches your eye. You decide that you must have it and that you'll find a use for it later. In this modern age of online communication and content creation, you'll likely need a good microphone sooner or later.

Primrows review - "Sudoku with Flowers"I have played a lot of different Sudoku-style puzzlers, and Primrows reminds me of a take on that concept, but with beautiful flowers and lots of ways to actually score. In each level, you get a grid that you can grow flowers in. This grid is divided into a few boxes, which can be manipulated by you. The grid in Primrows is your flower garden. You can water it to watch flowers grow in any blank spot. Watering once causes all of the flowers that can grow to do so, then you can prune away any flowers you don't want to have, and water again, until you run out of water turns. ... [ MORE ]

REDMAGIC 10 Air review - "A lightweight powerhouse that won't break the bank"Yet again, Redmagic surprised me with a phone that I couldn't believe was real. What would you say if I told you there was a gaming phone that was stylish, lightweight, and powerful enough to run any game you can imagine, for under $600? Oh, and this time, it doesn't compromise in any aspect (front camera included!). Yep, that's right. I wouldn't believe it either - but today, I'll give you the full Redmagic 10 Air review, so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. ... [ MORE ]

Gioteck TX5+ RGB Gaming Headset review - "Does your phone have an audio port?"I remember back when every single phone had an audio port. I used to wrap my earbuds around my mobile to keep them together. As we moved to more wireless items and the need to keep everything charged, I thought it was stupid. The time I went to an airport and purchased some earbuds, as I didn't have any, just to find they had no charge as they were wireless, was wild. The Gioteck TX5+ RGB Gaming Headset is a headset that needs to be plugged in, so you will need to make sure your phone has an audio port first. There is a small list of phones that have these ports, and if you have one of them, you might want this headset. The Gioteck TX5+ RGB Gaming Headset is black in colour, but has a ring around the ears, which can light up in a rainbow pulse. There is a button on the left ear that turns this on and off, right next to the volume dial and the charging port. This headset takes a USB-C cable to charge (not included). There is a microphone you can toggle out, which is quite short and not too intense. ... [ MORE ]

Crunchyroll: The Star Named EOS review - "Tearjerking Polaroids, a blanket of stars, and puzzles that never overstay their welcome"I've always felt that photographs hold a tinge of sadness no matter what they're about. I suppose it's the idea that it's a snapshot of a moment that you'll never get back - something that's already passed you by, leaving you with nothing but memories and maybe even a scar or two along the way. The Star Named EOS expertly wields that hint of wistfulness like a weapon - sharp, efficient and able to hit right in the feels. I knew I was getting into something evocative thanks to the short demo I played way back in early 2023, but what I didn't expect was how much it would make an impact on me as the climax snowballed towards the end. ...

Prince of Persia: Lost Crown review - "Royalty lost in the mobile world"There are specific names that evoke an emotion when we hear them. They bring us back to a time when we first heard them or experienced them, with all the good and bad stuff that went along with it. Prince of Persia is such a name, and you might not know that the first time anyone heard it (aside from people living under Persian royalty) was when it was released for the Apple 2 in 1989. All these years later, the most recent entry, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown (courtesy of Ubisoft), is returning to Apple as it prepares for a release on iOS devices. It's almost poetic, but we'll see just how far the Prince has come since the days of low-resolution and robotic movement. ... [ MORE ]

Follow the Meaning review - "A unique point-and-click adventure"From the creators of The White Door, I always have high expectations when it comes to another point-and-click adventure. Follow the Meaning has the same sort of creepy vibes as other games they've created, giving you a slightly off world to explore. In Follow the Meaning, you are detective Paul Trilby, who is looking to solve the mystery around a local Hospital. After a strange letter is delivered, you travel to this small island, trying to figure out why normal people are admitted to the hospital, and then return to their homes without any of their memories. Something else does seem to be at foot, and these patients need your help. ... [ MORE ]

Crashlands 2 review - "Crashing into adventure, AGAIN!"As soon as you see it, some media takes you back to when the internet was young, and webtoons were the pinnacle of internet comedy. If one site embodies that most, it's Newgrounds, with its distinct style that can be seen in games old and new. Even though those behind Butterscotch Shenanigans may not be Newgrounds alum, Crashlands has that quirky Flash-like tone that embodies the site. However, they have continued to grow, bringing us back to their sci-fi universe in Crashlands 2. This 2D survival-crafting game has you exploring new realms of a strange alien planet where nice and mean creatures are waiting for you to do something meaningful. ... [ MORE ]
