Quantum 360X, wireless for xbox

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.

ROG Strix G16, Gaming Laptop Review

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.

Backbone One review, Android

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.

JBL Quantum 910 Wireless

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.

Replikator, review

Replikator had me at “Top Down Sci-Fi Shooter”. I mean what’s not to love, being a huge Alienation fan and having grown up on the likes of Alien Syndrome, and Alien Breed.

Choose a rag-tag character from a bunch of rag-tag characters, including a Space Racoon. Board some crusty Space Stations and fight your way to the Boss. Yes, we’ve been here before.

Advance Wars 1+2 : Re-Boot Camp

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?

Dead Island 2 Review

Dead Island 2 doesn’t mess about, a long awaited sequel to the fondly dismembered Dead Island.

This time round you get to choose from a bunch of keen zombie slayers and make your way through the cluttered alleyways and luxury houses of L.A.

Once you’ve picked your Slayer du jour, depending on their style and skill tree, it’s clobbering time!
