Call of Duty season rolls around again, its almost Christmas and that means its time for new Black Ops.
After a couple of years with Infinity Ward helming the charge through Modern Warfare territory, and let’s be fair the 2023 instalment should have been DLC and a multiplayer update.
It is refreshing to be back in the hands of Treyarch, which as a die hard Infinity Ward fan caught me by surprise.

Until the Fusion Pro Wireless controller dropped into my post box I can safely say I’ve never thought about how a controller could be a work of art. I’ve had customisable controllers in the past, but I never really got on with changing weights and sticks. It just all seemed so faffy.
Programming back buttons, yes, that’s something Ive been able to get behind, more so when you can transfer a stick click to a button press, especially when its right next to a lazy, redundant finger.

Disney Lorcana, for me, has been a bit of a curveball. It came to us out of the blue and at the outset seemed like a good idea. I mean that card game in The Witcher games was good, wasn’t it?
The premise makes sense, a deck building card game that draws on the multifaceted layers of the Disney catalogue. I’ve grown up on Disney, and so have my kids so we were keen to see where this went.

The Quantum 360X is a welcome addition to the range we looked at in December with the Quantum 100X. Bringing JBL quality sound and wireless connectivity to the market in a more accessible package. While it also comes in a Playstation themed (white and blue) Quantum 360P, it differs purely on an aesthetic basis.
Where the 100X was a wired and wonderful entry level unit, the 360X brings wireless, surround sound and dual source input.

With the Quantum 100X JBL have catered for a lower end of the market as well as the younger end. I think it’s fair to get that out of the way.
As a big lover of the JBL brand and a convert to the mantra of ‘Sound is Survival’, I have to say the Quantum 100X was not what I expected.

ROG Strix G16 is a mouthful, isn’t it?
I’m not a PC gamer by any means, apart from some Mac based Football Manager or CM 97/98 in Dosbox. The last gaming PC I bought would have been back around 1998, it was a pentium something and came with a CRT screen so big I could barely get it through a door.
Thanks to our friends at Asus, I got the chance to see what twenty odd years of R&D had done for gaming on a PC.

Starfield, it’s been a long time coming and has caused some cosmic ripples.
Given the pedigree of Elder Scrolls, Oblivion, Fallout, how could Bethesda have anything but an exciting new IP?

It’s no surprise that indie title Gunbrella comes from publisher Devolver Digital.
Devolver has a reputation for indie titles that offer games that are a little more off-the-wall and take more risks than some of the so-called AAA titles.
Games like Cult of the Lamb, Trek to Yomi, Weird West, Death’s Door and Carrion.

Backbone, from a design point of view the name fits. From a purpose point of view the name fits. What we have here is a very sleek and functional way to access remote play gaming on your phone.
As a late night gamer I’m always torn between finishing a dungeon in Diablo before bed and respecting myself in the morning. The Backbone gives me a great option, that’s not the Switch.

Here’s the latest trailer for Everspace 2, the game hits the street on consoles this week and if you haven’t read our PC or PS5 reviews yet, give them a go.
Fair to say both Gerard and Barrie had a great time with the game, especially as a warm up to incoming 2023 sci-fi titles.

The JBL Range continues to impress with the Quantum 910 Wireless. Having swapped out my 810 Wireless Headset for the much new and improved Quantum 910 Wireless Headset I find it hard to go back.
It’s not even a year since I wrote about the 810 Wireless, and everything I said then still stands today for the 910 Wireless. Albeit with a few extra Bells, Whistles and Quality.
