When we reviewed Microsoft Flight Simulator back in 2020, there was no doubt that we were playing something special. Something crafted for not only hardcore flight fans but also a new adventure for curious future enthusiasts to explore and experiment with. It’s something I can admit I never thought I would come to love, but…

Raiders of the Lost Ark is not only my favourite Indiana Jones movie, it’s one of my favourite films of all time. I also tend to soak up everything else this franchise has to offer. I’ve played the games, from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Infernal Machine, and the Emperor’s Tomb, and have…

SteelSeries is well known not only for its fantastic variety of gaming peripherals and accessories but also for its consistent quality. From the Arctis Nova Pro to the Arctis Nova 5 and even the Arctis Nova 1, it’s safe to say their newer headsets have all been winners in their own right. The SteelSeries Arctis…

We’ve reviewed a bunch of Turtle Beach headsets over the past couple of years, from the high-end Stealth Pro to the more modest, yet value-packed Stealth 500. There’s no doubt that Turtle Beach is providing a wide range of features and price points across their headsets, and the newer Stealth 700 (Gen 3) is no…

We personally loved Stellar Blade when it was released earlier this year, and based on our review, still stand by the fact that it’s one of the better action games we’ve played this year. I’m also personally a huge fan of NieR: Automata, and it’s one of the first reviews I had ever written for this…

We’ve had the pleasure of reviewing multiple Anker charging products in the past, like the 10,000 mAh 30W Power Bank, which I still use today. However, The Anker Prime Charger differs from what we’ve seen before. In its newer 250W, 6 port form, this GaNPrime desktop charger essentially acts as your go-to charging station for…

If you’ve never played Stardew Valley before, we recommend immediately rectifying the situation and getting your farming hat on. For those who have, you’ll be familiar with the whimsical and relaxing soundtrack accompanying gameplay. Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons is heading to Australia in 2025, and will feature a whopping 35-piece orchestra, performing the most…

We’ve tested a few BlueAnt speakers over the past couple of years and can safely say that they’ve established a presence in the Australian market by providing versatility and value across their range of products. I’m still using the larger BlueAnt X6 speaker to this day. The BlueAnt X5i feels like a repackaged version of…

I admittedly play the new Call of Duty every year. While I prefer some more than others, I generally stick with the newest release and push forward for another year. While our review of Modern Warfare 3 was generally favourable for its solid multiplayer and satisfying gunplay, it ultimately disappointed us in the campaign department….

Can you believe it’s been 10 years since the last Dragon Age game? For as decent as Dragon Age: Inquisition is, I can understand the hesitation that many would feel when it comes to diving back into this, given developer BioWare’s recent track record. Mass Effect: Andromeda was average at best, while Anthem barely had…

It’s no surprise, but I’m sure many would consider the original Silent Hill 2 on the PlayStation 2 not only one of the best horror games to date, but also one of the best games that generation of consoles has produced. It probably broke much more ground at that time, but I would also argue…

While their popularity is certainly growing, I hadn’t tried open earphones until we reviewed the Shokz OpenFit headphones last year, and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Certain situations do call for these nowadays. Be it cycling, working out, or simply being out in public and wanting to keep an ear on things, the…

I’ve dabbled in the Diablo games for almost two decades now. But I have to say, Diablo 4 still stands as my favourite. It simply refined and deepened every mechanic and aspect of the overall franchise, and kept me around for months after my official review. Over a year later, Diablo 4 has released its…

I’m a huge boxing fan, and I still jump on Fight Night Champion to this day. While that’s still accessible on my Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility, I’ve eagerly awaited the next great boxing game. Enter Undisputed. From developer Steel City Interactive comes that next big swing, attempting to receive the sport in the video game…

I’m a huge fan of The Karate Kid films, and even the more recent Cobra Kai series on Netflix, which I would recommend to anyone. But after seeing what became of the recent Cobra Kai tie-in video games, I admittedly hesitated to give this one a go. Upon further research, I was pleased to find…

Seeing any footage from The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, be it via trailers or regular gameplay, might feel a little weird after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. And I don’t blame you. I mean, we just got a sequel to one of the best adventure games of all time in…

It’s that time of the year once again. While it’s still pretty much FIFA, EA Sports FC 25 pushes forward for its second year under the new name. I understand that every year, casual fans might want to skip an entry now and then for the single fact that it’s simply too hard to reinvigorate…

D-Link has announced that it will expand its Aquila Pro range with the new AQUILA PRO AI M60 AX6000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Systems. Available as a Single/Add-On unit and in 2-pack or 3-pack, D-Link will continue to bolster the three common Wi-Fi issues, being coverage, speed, and usability. The AQUILA PRO AI M60 range…

While the traditional E3 showcase is no more, it’s great to see studios and companies like Xbox now headlining events like the Tokyo Game Show, with their unique offerings and upcoming titles. Given that they now head not only Xbox Game Studios but Bethesda, Activision and Blizzard, it makes sense that they would get their stream. We’ve covered every announcement and…

If you grew up in the 90s or even the early 2000s, you will surely have come across one of these titles. I grew up near an Intencity arcade (shout out to those who remember) at my local shopping centre, and spent many weekends and birthday parties slamming my parent’s gold coins into that Marvel…

PlayStation has announced it will be holding yet another State of Play showcase this year, with more than 20 games to be shown off. It seems fitting, given the PS5 Pro was announced with no new games enhanced for the actual console, so we’re hoping this might be the one to show some new stuff…

I’m a huge basketball fan and am still riding high after my beloved Boston Celtics won the championship last season. Pair this up with Jayson Tatum as the new cover star for NBA 2K25 and it’s probably to nobody’s surprise that I was already on board, ready to catch whatever this year’s offering was dishing…

You may have noticed we reviewed a Dell XPS 14 laptop only a few months ago, which looks incredibly similar to this. And in many ways, it is. That Dell XPS 14 was a little larger and came packing an Intel Ultra 7 155H processor, 32 GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, a 3.2K…

Late last year, we took the time to review the CRKD Nitro Deck, which turns the Nintendo Switch into a beefed-up pro controller. We loved it, and couldn’t wait to sink our teeth into CRKD’s latest controller, the Neo S. This wireless controller is compatible with a few different platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PC…

It’s official. After long running rumours, the PlayStation 5 Pro has been officially revealed via PlayStation’s latest Technical Showcase, along with a new hefty price tag and November 7 release date. The console will also be priced at A$1199.95 down under. While we’re getting an increase in processing power, we’re unfortunately not getting a disc…

We previewed Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 just over a month ago, so I apologise if we retread a few things here. But it needs to be said; I’ve rapidly been descending into various rabbit holes of Warhammer 40,000 lore over the past few months, and I just can’t stop. So Space Marine 2 really…

For a few important reasons, Dustborn immediately grabbed my attention upon its reveal. This Telltale-inspired adventure looks like it was ripped off the page of a comic book and translated into video game form, while the story of a rock band on the run seemed like a cool promise to bring a group of misfits…

I’ve been a Star Wars fan ever since I was a kid, introduced to the franchise via the original trilogy of films. While the quality of Star Wars media has fluctuated over the years, there have indeed been a few decent Star Wars video games to grace our consoles. But for every Knights of the…

While we don’t frequently review routers as far as technology reviews go, we had the pleasure of reviewing this router’s older sibling a couple of years back, in the form of the D-Link DSL-X1852E AX1800 router. I mention that previous review, because in many ways, this newer D-Link DSL-X3052E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Modem Router provides…

Cygni: All Guns Blazing admittedly caught me by surprise when I saw its first trailers. But upon playing it, I couldn’t have felt more at home. They might have been released before my time, but I still grew up playing arcade classics like Gradius, Galaga, R-Type and even Space Invaders, soaking up the addictive moment-to-moment…
