Advance Wars 1+2 : Re-Boot Camp

May 25, 2023May 30, 2023 Richard Armitt

Advance Wars is a poster-child franchises for Nintendo. After tough turn-based campaigns on Gameboy Advance, it’s rebuilt now for the Switch. There is no mistaking the franchise has the Hearts and Minds of older gamers.

So now would be a good time to get it into the hands of today’s Nintendo faithful. Wouldn’t it?

Minecraft Legends Byte Size Review (XSX)

April 16, 2023April 16, 2023 Barrie Clarke

Being completely oblivious to this latest Mojang Studios release, my initial thought was of Minecraft Dungeons  and how I had enjoyed that.

I entered the Legends realm with quite a positive outlook. Bring on the Piglins!

Thanks to Microsoft/Xbox for providing a copy of Minecraft Legends to me for review. I really do appreciate it.

Intel NUC11 mini PC review

May 6, 2023May 6, 2023 Gerard Campbell

I’ve dabbled in PC gaming since the days of the Sinclair ZX81 and Spectrum (I’m truly showing my age here).

While modern PC gamers are running graphics cards with 12 Gigabytes of VRAM (and more) and CPUs that are more powerful than anything you could imagine in 1990.

Which brings me to Intel’s Beast Canyon Intel NUC11 PC: A small but mighty gaming PC that is unobtrusive, packs a powerful punch in a small form factor – and there’s not a bit of beige to be seen!

Logitech “Mando” A30 Wireless Headset.

March 3, 2023March 3, 2023 Guy

In honour of season 3 of The Mandalorian, Logitech are dropping a Mando A30 headset made of pure beskar. No, not really, but they still look pretty sweet.

Custom Mandalorian graphics, beskar finish and even a Baby Yoda on the USB dongle!

“This is the way” indeed!
