That time of the year has rolled around once again, where we are treated to a laundry list of announcements for new and exciting games to look forward to and drool over for the rest of this year and beyond. While it’s pretty much taken over E3 (RIP) as the new headliner for gamers around…

I reviewed both Elden Ring and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC upon their respective releases, and must say, it’s been a blast. Bloodborne might always be my personal favourite game within this genre for its darker tone and linear nature, but make no mistake, developer FromSoftware Inc. hasn’t really missed a beat as of…

PlayStation June State of Play stream announcement might have come as a surprise to some given its short notice, but that didn’t stop them for delivering the 40 minutes of the goods. Even with Summer Games Fest might be starting this weekend, we’re certainly off to a rolling start. We’ve unpacked all the announcements and…

James Bond is back. Well, in the video game sense at the very least. While we’re still waiting on a new Bond to helm the film franchise, developer IO Interactive has now given their upcoming James Bond game an official title: 007 First Light. 007 First Light was initially revealed back in 2020 as Project 007…

Water flossers appear to be gaining popularity by the day. With a new era of technologically infused dental hygiene routines, the water flosser feels like the next logical step. After all, if your toothbrush is already vibrating or spinning to clean between the tougher crevices and gaps, why not make flossing a little easier too?…

Open earphones are certainly an evolving and growing space, and in 2025, they’ve arguably never been more popular. For someone into fitness looking to be aware of their surroundings when out and about, or simply needing to keep an ear out for something or someone around the house, they’re a must-have. Anker has had a…

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are fast becoming the new storage standard for PCs, gaming consoles, and external hard drives. For one, there are no moving parts within the unit, meaning they’re more reliable than your standard Hard Disk Drive (HDD). They’re also much faster when transferring and loading files, so apart from the more expensive…

We previewed this remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny just under a month ago, and have to say, most of our final sentiments still ring true, so we apologise if we referred to any old ground. You can check out our full preview of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny here. This remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is…

For as many RPGs as I’ve played over the years, I’m not necessarily a fan of the genre. Sure, you’ve got your classics, be it Final Fantasy VII or its remake, the various Pokémon games or Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But I feel as though even then, with turn-based combat a part of the core…

The range of electric toothbrushes continues to grow, seemingly by the day. While brands like Colgate, Oral-B and even Hismile are the popular options here in Australia, Oclean has decided to have a crack at the market. With Xiaomi as a parent company, there’s no doubt that Oclean is already providing great value for the…

In its fourth year, Cure Cancer’s Game On Cancer initiative will be running its Superhero Streamers event, which will go towards supporting ground-breaking cancer research. The event will run from Monday 1st April through to Friday 31st May, and will allow creators from various walks of life to support the awesome Cure Cancer researchers who…

Looking back, Days Gone might have gotten a little more hate than it deserved when it released in 2019. But with all the zombie fatigue lately from various shows, movies and even other games, it’s a really fine line to walk. There are a few things in Days Gone Remastered to enjoy and appreciate, though….

Let’s get straight to the point: Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best racing games you can play today. Thankfully, it’s now out on the PlayStation 5 for a new audience to enjoy. It only feels right that Forza Horizon 5 would release some new DLC in line with this release, which looks to…

Mafia: The Old Country might be out in just a few months, but we only just got our first proper gameplay trailer. Set in Sicily during the early 1900’s, this newest trailer shows off more gunplay, traversal, and the beautiful environments which highlight the Sicilian landscapes and villages. Players take control of Enzo, a young…

At this rate, the number of smart trackers seems to be growing by the day, and depending on your device and preferred ecosystems, like Apple, Android, or even Google, it can make anyone’s head spin. Phones, watches, and now trackers feel pretty commonplace on daily trips when out and about. I’m an iPhone user, and…

Fetch has been around for several years and has become a staple of TV streaming. Be it the Mighty or Mini, it’s a neat little all-rounder, for Fetch TV channels, streaming all your favourite shows, or even just watching and recording free-to-air TV via the internet. We spent a couple of weeks with the Fetch…

It’s been a while since I’ve played an Onimusha game, but with Onimusha: Way of the Sword bringing the franchise back after an 18-year hiatus, I feel that itch again. Onimusha: Warlords was admittedly remastered back in 2019, but Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the first Onimusha game I…

Remember those awesome retro startup animations you could get on the PS5 only a few months ago? The ones they removed? Yeah, they’re back in this latest PS5 system update. The classic console themes are inspired by the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles and will change the overall look of the…

Thanks to Grand Theft Auto VI, games releases and release dates have been a little up in the air recently. In fact, they’ve been so up in the air, that many upcoming titles are falling into place, launching either sooner or around GTA IV’s supposed release. Sucker Punch and PlayStation have announced that the upcoming…

With the new Formula 1 season upon us, it feels only right that we start preparing for this year’s F1 game.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was released on the Xbox Series X and Series S late last year and was pretty much one of the best games of 2024. It might have taken a few extra months, but the experience is now finally available for PlayStation 5 owners, with some fancy new visual upgrades…

The extensive range of routers nowadays is enough to make your head spin. Enter the concept of mesh systems for larger homes and more devices, and we don’t necessarily blame you for not knowing what’s best for both your home and internet usage. While mesh systems are certainly the better option for internet setups moving…

The date has been revealed for the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase for 2025. The showcase will highlight the biggest upcoming games in 2025 and beyond and has pretty much replaced the traditional E3 slot as far as hype for future projects is concerned. But that’s not all.
