Saints Row, a franchise that has been around the block a few times. Originally landing as a semi-serious alternative to GTA, but with its tongue firmly planted in a cheek. Nature of cheek to be confirmed.
Over the years the games have transitioned into bawdy locker room joke fest with some absolutely ridiculous scenarios. Arguably for the fanbase, the more ridiculous they get the better.
You can’t mistake a Saint’s game. Over the top weapons, puerile humour and hi-octane, yet forgiving action. This iteration does bear those marks, but…

I have to be honest, I don’t tend to sit alone in the dark with a horror/survival games any more.
Sure, Resident Evil and Silent Hill are memorable experiances from my “gamer history”, but as I have got older they not experiances I need to revisit. Honestly, just too scary.

A chess-based puzzle game from small developer Daisy Games. Sokochess will appeal to gamers who love chess and the challenges that the game brings.

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.

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.

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”.

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.
