NBA 2K23 will be bringing back The City to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players. As a result of community feedback, The City will look to make a number of changes and improvements for a smoother, more enjoyable experience. With wide, expansive environments and deeper levels of exploration and variety, The City has been…

My past two weeks with the Asus ROG Chakram X gaming mouse have proven quite interesting. For the premium price point, Asus have packed in a bunch of quality features, including a wealth of customisable options and a sturdy design. But in the same breath, it also features additional buttons that can be hard to…

I’ll admit right off the bat that I have very fond memories of both Destroy All Humans! games when they each released over 15 years ago. I don’t know if it was the satirical humour, wacky gameplay mechanics or both, that drew me into the admittedly insane premise. That being said, I had doubts about…

Some would say it was only a matter of time, but we say, it’s about time! Gamescom 2022’s Opening Night Live had a lot to share in the way of upcoming games, but it also had a little room tucked aside for PlayStation 5’s upcoming pro controller, the DualSense Edge. Aside from third party controllers…

Staring off this year’s Gamescom with a bang, Gamescom Opening Night Live showed off a bunch of new and upcoming games that we simply can’t wait to get our hands on. That being said, we thought we would round up 5 of our favourite trailers form the stream and why we can’t wait for each…

I’m admittedly giddy writing this, as the first Tales from the Borderlands game is in my mind, a criminally underrated classic and arguably the best Borderlands game. That being said, someone at 2K of Gearbox Software must have caught on, as New Tales from the Borderlands looks to breathe new life into the franchise. Revealed…

Geoff Keighley returns to save the recently inconsistent landscape of video game streams, events and announcements. Gamescom has rolled around once again, with the opening night stream set to take place in the wee hours of the morning for Australians. The stream will take place tomorrow morning, but we’ve taken the time to round up…

2K have recently announced that the PGA TOUR 2K series will return for another round, with Tiger Woods to feature as the cover athlete for PGA TOUR 2K23. It follows hot off the heels of NBA 2K23’s reveal and accompanying trailers, which chose to highlight the success and career of Michael Jordan. Much like Jordan,…

SteelSeries is no stranger to crafting premium gaming products in all areas, from handsets and gaming mice, to a wide range of gaming keyboards for a number of users and preferences. The Apex Mini Pro feels fantastic, and it without a doubt one of the better 60% keyboards in the market today. The premium price…

At first glance, Live A Live feels like an older, more experienced JRPG that boldly returned to show the younger kids just how it’s done. It feels even stranger however, to discover that’s exactly what this is. Live A Live was released way back in 1994 by developer Square, then known as SquareSoft, but never…

2K has released a new trailer for NBA 2K23, highlighting the return of the iconic Jordan Challenge, initially launched way back with NBA 2K11. While the return of the mode itself had been announced along with the initial reveal of NBA 2K23, we now know exactly which games and moments of Michael Jordan’s illustrious that…

Activision has recently announced exactly how and when fans can get their hands on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta. And the best news? It’s only a few weeks away. The beta itself will be available at an earlier date for those who have pre-ordered the game, with two separate weekends providing access…

D-Link’s new Eagle Pro AI series of routers is looking to shake things on both sides of the market, from entry-level routers-to premium mesh systems. The R15 AX1500 Eagle Pro AI stands as the entry-level option, but provides some nifty value through its compact design, Wi-Fi 6 functionality and various smart features including Google Assistant…

The time has come yet again, to discuss a new NBA 2K game for the year, including multiple updates on general gameplay. While this year may feel like a stepping stone in some ways, there’s no doubt the voices of many fans and gamers alike have been heard, with developer Visual Concepts cutting straight to…

As Dusk Falls is in many ways a perfect representation of its setting and characters. Tucked away in Arizona, the small town of Two Rock paired with a deep and nuanced cast of intriguing characters bring to life one of the better video game stories in recent memory. Tied to many of the developer Telltale’s…

After a three year hiatus, the world’s premiere celebration of all things gaming and interactive entertainment, E3, will be returning as an in-person event, and is set to take place in June, 2023. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) will also be partnering with ReedPop, the event production company behind PAX, New York Comic-Con and Star…

The all-new PlayStation Plus has finally launched in Australia, dividing the subscription service into three separate tiers, each with exclusive features and perks. Admittedly, this review is going to run a little differently to our standard reviews in terms of structure. We’ll also conclude without an overall score, as I believe the experience for many…

After the news broke that Michael Jordan would feature on the special editions of NBA 2K23, questions immediately circled the reveal of the cover star for this year’s standard editions. After an incredible season, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has been revealed as the cover athlete for the standard and digital deluxe versions of NBA…

2K has today announced that the G.O.A.T, Mr. Michael Jeffrey Jordan himself, will grace the cover of two special edition versions of the upcoming NBA 2K23. Michael carried the number 23 with him throughout his illustrious NBA career, where he served as a 14-time NBA All-Star, five-time Kia Most Valuable Player, six-time NBA World Champion…

In recent years, certain events have forced us to change many aspects of our lives, including the way we work. While many of us are now working from home, it’s important to consider the tech that surrounds us, and if that too, is capable of stepping up to this change in lifestyle. Thankfully, the D-Link…

After a decent hiatus, Nintendo Direct returns once again with a flurry of announcements, covering a number of upcoming games from third-party developers. This mini, 25-minute conference dropped earlier this morning on YouTube and wasted no time in getting straight into the action. We’re here to wrap up today’s announcements, so join in on the…

I’ve always admired musou style games for their sheer intensity. Repeatedly hacking and slashing waves of villains never seems to get old, from the Dynasty Warriors franchise, to the more recent Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. As a result, the Fire Emblem franchise has decided to try its hand at the genre for the second…

In my opinion, developer Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn stands as one of the most underrated games of the last generation. The Quarry feels like it was made in the same way. It’s focused on telling a rather simplistic story, playing on the horror tropes and expectations that have come before. For the most part, The…

Capcom had decided to add to the flurry of announcements that is Summer Game Fest 2022, in the wake of this year’s E3 cancellation. While we had previously been aware that today’s news would be based on currently announced projects and releases, we thought we would dive in and unpack each of the announcements in…

Need we say more? It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for. While Starfield has been delayed to 2023, we got our best look at gameplay yet. From traversal, to combat and general scope, this new gameplay trailer was ultimately satisfying, and a great insight into the scope and overall feel the game is looking…

In an announcement that caught us off guard, three Persona games are making their way to Xbox consoles. Featuring Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, there’s no doubt that these are three of the best games in the franchise and well worth picking up for newcomers and fans alike. Check it…

Set in feudal Japan, this hack-and-slash will pit you against various types of monsters; and it looks incredibly chaotic. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty comes from Koei Tecmo Games and we have no doubt it will provide a hearty challenge. Check it out for yourself in the trailer below: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will launch on Game…

Top-down puzzler Cocoon was revealed this morning and is nothing short of mind-bending. You’ll traverse unique environments and use special orbs to progress forward. It’s admittedly hard to explain, but you can count us in. Check it out for yourself in the trailer below: Cocoon will launch on Game Pass on day one in addition…

We received our first look at Ravenlok this morning, an action RPG that sees you traversing mystical lands as a young girl, sword and shield at the ready. It’s visually striking and reminds us a lot of Alice in Wonderland. Check it out for yourself in the trailer below: Ravenlok will launch sometime in 2023…

Fans of the Civilisation franchise are sure to be excited by the reveal of Ara: History Untold, which sees you taking charge of all that unfolds before you, quite literally making history in the process. Check it out for yourself in the trailer below: Ara: History Untold will be coming to PC Game Pass on day…
