If you remember the good old days of 2002, and were a fan of real-time strategy games, chances are you played Age of Mythology, a classic RTS from Ensemble Studios.
Fast forward 22 years, and it’s back with Age of Mythology Retold, a remaster that slaps on a fresh coat of paint – using the graphics engine from Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition – and it does an excellent job for anyone feeling nostalgic for those RTS days of old.

Studio Santa Monica’s God of War from 2018 is one of my favourite games in recent memory (despite what the dear editor of this esteemed site thinks of it), which they deftly followed up with God of War Ragnarok.
I sank numerous hours into the original game, featuring grizzled and rough-edged god Kratos (although he’s trying to find his softer side) and his son Atreus, and then did the same with the sequel in 2022.

Ghost of Tsushima was my favourite game of 2020 so you can imagine my delight when the esteemed editor-in-chief of this site asked if I’d be willing to review the PC version, that has been ported by fabled dutch master Nixxes.
“Don’t have to ask me twice,” I chirped, given I’d already completed the game on PlayStation 4 and then played it on PlayStation 5: I jumped at the chance to play it on PC.

I was pleasantly surprised with Cozy Caravan and I’m hoping it gets the support so the developers can turn it into the game they want.
I mean, seriously, how can you not smile at a game that has a small frog that sounds exactly like Crazy Frog and the caravan you ride in is pulled by a huge bumble bee???

The day that the esteemed editor of this site asked if I wanted to review Norton’s 360 Premium was the day that I found out that one of my email accounts had been compromised in a cyber attack on a New Zealand media organisation.
I think I had entered some competition to win some glamourous prize (as you do) and didn’t give entering my email address as a contact point a second thought. Turns out it was one of thousands caught in the compromising attack.
There was no harm done in the breach, but it did make me think about just how secure I was online, which is where Norton Utilities steps in.

Ever since I bought a Valve Steam Deck last year (an original LED model, not the newer OLED one), I have tried to do much of my PC gaming these days on it.
An interesting game I like to play with my Steam library is “Will my Steam Deck play that?”
So when my editor asked if I was keen to review Guerilla’s PlayStation 5 game Horizon Forbidden West, which has been ported to the PC, I immediately asked … “Will my Steam Deck play that? – and it can but with a few caveats.

One of the first things you’ll notice about D-Link’s Aquila Pro AI AX3000 wi-fi 6 mesh system is the look of its two M30units. This mesh system is no ordinary looking mesh system, all boxy and angled.
It has curves and angles. It looks modern and sleek.

It’s fair to say that the Prince of Persia series – first introduced to the world by game designer Jordan Mechner in 1989 – is perhaps one of my favourite series.
The Lost Crown has gone back to its roots (visually, at least).
