Returnal PC (review)

March 12, 2023March 13, 2023 Gerard Campbell

Returnal will run well on an ageing GPU like an RX580, which means it still has some life left in it. Sure, it won’t look as good as a card that can push the high frame rates and do ray tracing without breaking a sweat.

More importantly, it’s actually playable on our ageing RX580.

February 15, 2023February 15, 2023 Richard Armitt

Startup Company Console Edition brings a successful business sim to consoles after a strong outing on Steam. Danish devlopers Hovgaard Games have obviously laboured over this title with love.

Starting from the ground level with minimal investment, the aim is to manage your business empire “to the moon”. Interestingly the simulation is heavily geared towards the Social Media / Online Sales platforms we are familiar with.

On paper this game should be right up my alley, should be.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7, Review

January 29, 2023January 30, 2023 Guy

The new SteelSeries range under the “Arctis Nova” banner have had a good showing thus far at the Cottage.

But up until now its only been the wired models we have looked at, the Nova 7 changes that. Wireless headsets are a complex beast.

But, there is noting to be worried about here, as the SteelSeries pedigree continues with a very solid set of cans.

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!
