Playstation Plus: Deluxe
Long have the benefits of Xbox’s “Gamepass” subscription service been touted on Koru-Cottage. It is the closest to the Nefilx-ification of gaming we have seen, and until now it has had no competition on console.
Finally Sony have come to the party with a 3-tier offering.
I have kindly been given access to Playstation Plus: Deluxe to see how it stacks up.

JBL Quantum 610 Wireless, review
I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last few weeks playing with the JBL Quantum 610 Wireless headset. As laid out in my review of the 600’s the brand is solid, so here we are with an upgrade.
I think it’s only fair to get this out of the way. This is a seriously good headset.

Logitech G923 “TRUEFORCE” Racing Wheel, Review
The Logitech G923 steering wheel is not cheap, with its RRP around the $600+ NZD mark.
That is a lot of money, but in this particular case, its a strong argument for the adage…”you get what you pay for”.
I loved every moment with the wheel and was gutted I had to send it back to Logitech NZ.

Aerox 9 Wireless Mouse
A long time ago a mouse for me was a wired device with a dust gathering ball at its heart.
The Aerox 9 proves we are a long way past the days of white spirit soaked cotton-buds. Before getting the chance to review a ‘real’ gaming mouse, I wouldn’t walk past the budget mice.
I mean, they all point and click, right?
I’m never too proud to say I was wrong.

Trek to Yomi: Side-scrolling samurai
Shinto mythology describes Yomi as the Japanese word for land of the dead. It is said to be where the dead go to dwell and apparently rot indefinitely.
It’s comparable to Hell or Hades and it’s here that much of Flying Wild Hogs’ and Leonard Menchiari’s samurai hack ‘n slash game Trek to Yomi takes place.

A500 Mini, review
If the Commodore64 signified my formative years in gaming, then the Amiga 500 dragged me through my angsty teens.
The leap from 8-bit to 16-bit was enormous, the leap in quality and engagement groundbreaking.
Not forgetting the transition from twiddling Azimuth Heads on a tape drive to the joy of slotting in a floppy disc or six.

H3PRO Hybrid, review
Back in November last year I reviewed the EPOS H6PRO, now its fancier relative the H3PRO Hybrid steps up.
Where the previous set was a wired option that did exactly what it said on the tin. The H3PRO Hybrid offers up a fistful of possibilities, even down to mixing mobile calls with gaming audio.
The H3PRO Hybrid is a headset for today’s world and will suit multi-platform gamers that also need to hit Microsoft Teams during the day.

Norton VPN, byte-size feature
I’ve been using a Norton’s VPN in some form for a few years now. Frankly, I wouldn’t go online using either my iPad or my PC without it activated. Even when my life is so boring that I’m sure no hacker could be bothered hacking my accounts.
Norton VPN offers features such as automatically securing your connection if you connect to a compromised network.
