Arcade Paradise Review (XSX)
Arcade Paradise is a game that has me squarely in its sights. I have been lucky enough to go through evolution of coin-op gaming.
From the lone Space Invaders in the corner of the Family Bar at the local pub. Through the side room at the fish n’ chip shop filled with Commando, Ikari Warriors, TMNT, and the likes.
Arcade Paradise is letting us relive that golden era of side rooms filled with glorious fun.

Sweet Transit Byte Size Review (PC)
Sweet Transit. Not sold on the name. All I visualise is the the cast from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
But anyway, Sweet Transit (Still in Early Access) is the latest game to dive in to the ‘City Builder’ genre, thankfully with a twist to stand out in a crowded market.

Astro A10 Gen 2 Headset Review
This day and age it seems we all have more than one set of headphones. From an everyday carry set of earbuds to an all singing, all dancing set of headphones for home use.
Many of you may even have dedicated sets for each purpose. Movies, music, working from home, fitness, and gaming.
Each purpose has different requirements and demands from a headset and the Astro range have been at the forefront of gaming headsets for a long time now.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Review (XSX)
It’s Bunkers & Badasses, Baybee!
Welcome to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. What better way is there to while away your time in space than a game of Bunkers & Badasses.
A table-top fantasy RPG being played by Valentine, Frette, and you, The Newbie. And with Tiny Tina as the Dungeon Master, well, anything can happen.
All in a very Borderlands way of course.

Elex 2 Review (XSX)
So a HUGE disclaimer right off the bat before we talk Elex 2.
I am a massive fan of the Piranha Bytes stable of games. The Gothic series, Risen series and, of course, Elex are some of my favourite games ever.
These games are all slightly different to the more popular role playing games we all know and love.
Some don’t like them at all, others have never played them, and then, like me, there is a group of absolute die hard fans.

Dynasty Warriors 9 – Empires Byte Size Review (XSX)
Dynasty Warriors 9 – Empires is the latest in the 1 vs 1000 style of Hack ‘n Slash action titles.
Empires is basically the same game as Dynasty Warriors 9 with an added layer of strategic simulation in play between battles. The genre that also includes the likes of Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi has always been an odd one to me.
The popularity in Eastern cultures is undeniable, less so in Western countries. The shear volume of releases points to them being financially viable at the very least.

Shadow Warrior 3 Review (PC)
Everybody likes a bit of Lo Wang. Unfortunately after his last adventure Lo is a bit well, low. Drowning in self pity, spending all day with no pants on, low. But yet again the world is need of a smart mouthed hero that is quick with a blade and a one liner.
A Shadow Warrior is needed.
Time to gather up your katana and guns, oh and your pants. It is one big nasty looking dragon that needs taking care of. Actually it might be a wyvern…

MX Keys Mini, Review (Hardware)
Keyboards. The unsung heroes of both work and play.
Most of us are just happy with whatever we get with the computer. We don’t even give it a second thought until the space bar stops working.
But in this day and age we all tend to have multiple devices, many that don’t have a physical keyboard. TV’s, tablets, phones, even gaming consoles. And we all know the pain of using the TV remote to enter Arnold Schwarzenegger into the Netflix app.
A Bluetooth keyboard is what you need. A nice sleek, mini one that looks at home on the coffee table.
