Blackview Mega 8 review - "A powerful tablet in a budget"Tablet, phone, and mini-PC developer Blackview has just unleashed its new Mega 8 tablet. Built in collaboration with Google Gemini AI 2.0, the Mega 8 is crafted with creators in mind. While the Mega 8 places emphasis on content creation and its built-in AI capabilities, I was more curious how it would hold up as a gaming device. Luckily, while Blackview may not have built the Mega 8 with gamers in mind, it's more than capable of smoothly running most games. Unboxing the Blackview Mega 8 ... [ MORE ]

Summoners War: Rush review - "Effortless and enjoyable progression, as long as the adrenaline rush lasts"Cramming my hundred-hour JRPG quests in between homework and endless exams as a student made me believe with my heart and soul that, once I was a cool and independent adult, I could have all the free time in the world. I would toss chores aside and play games anytime I felt like it, all while managing a career and family life and social obligations flawlessly like a calm, collected and totally put-together boss. Suffice it to say that none of those lofty ideals ever came to pass when I graduated years and years ago, making idle RPGs like Summoners War: Rush more and more appealing as the relentless adulting errands came one after the next. But is it everything a lazy - er, busy - bee needs, or is it just another filler on your phone's limited real estate? ... [ MORE ]

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller review - "A decent compact controller"With no previous experience with 8BitDo’s vast product line, I was unsure of what to expect when it came to the Ultimate 2 wireless controller. I’ll admit I was even a bit sceptical. However, I was immediately enticed by the device’s extra mappable buttons and triggers. Unboxing the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller ... [ MORE ]

Is This Yours? review - "A seemingly cosy hidden object puzzler where patience isn't a virtue"With its minimalist visuals and seemingly cosy vibes, Is This Yours? might look like the perfect pick-me-up to help you unwind after a long and tiring day. But while the mechanics seem deceptively simple, it could also unleash a lot of your pent-up rage bubbling underneath the surface. And because you play as a hapless lost-and-found employee at the mercy of impatient people's whims, it might just make you lose faith in humanity at the end of every session. ... [ MORE ]

Pup Champs review - "A cosy puzzler with good bois and good vibes"There's a reason why an entire online movement exists for the sole purpose of knowing whether or not you can pet dogs in video games. Doggos always add furry fun to any experience, and in Pup Champs, you'll get to surround yourself with wholesome good bois with a bunch of cosy puzzles thrown into the mix. It's a lovely little mash-up of genres - part football sim and part puzzler - that's made even more appealing thanks to its puppy-fied coat of paint, but is it all bark and no bite? ... [ MORE ]

Backbone Pro controller review - "Comfortable grip, fantastic fit, and two controller modes for the price of...two controllers"While I wish I could carry a handbag that's light as a feather yet somehow able to hold all my essentials (Hermione's Undetectable Extension Charm would be a nice touch), that's just not possible (yet!) - which is why one-stop-shop gaming peripherals are always a plus in my book. The new Backbone Pro seems like a proper solution to my all-important problem, but is it worth shelling out a hefty price in exchange for its not-hefty weight? ... [ MORE ]

Honor 400 Pro review - "A compact and comfortable gaming option"AI is big business for mobile right now, it seems. Every new device pushes fancy features that use artificial intelligence to make your pictures look perfect, help with live translation, or even write a text message, among other bits and pieces. The Honor 400 Pro is no different, boasting several features that are, of course, all pre-fixed with AI. And while many are on board with letting computers take away the heart and soul of their snaps, it doesn't interest me much. Not least because I'm not much of a photographer anyway. So, I've decided to ignore all that and see how the Honor 400 Pro fares as a gaming phone, and, for the most part, it's pretty impressive. ... [ MORE ]

Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown review - "Compelling roguelike combat that has taken over my entire life"Feudal Japan, a gorgeous soundtrack, and a noble quest to take down a shogun who may or may not be cursed with a mystical malady that's threatening to consume the world - it's all pretty standard for your humble samurai in Crunchyroll's Shogun Showdown. You'll sharpen your sword, take on evil henchmen, then somehow make one small mistake that'll end your life and force you to start all over again from scratch - and I am all for it. ... [ MORE ]

Cable Guys Buds Deadpool review - "A quality Deadpool!"I've looked at a variety of earbuds, from simplistic pairs that have no real personality to ones that are meant to look futuristic and fun. Now, it's time to check out a pair that is tied to fans of a specific superhero! The Cable Guys Buds Deadpool is both a holding stand for your earbuds, along with a themed case, and earbuds to go with it. If you're a fan of Deadpool, you'll obviously like these. The little statue is worth it alone; it's a quality stand, with a good paint job and details in the actual mold. To me, it doesn't look perfectly proportional, but that might be because of the earbud case on it, but I like the quality of it generally! ... [ MORE ]
