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.

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.

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.

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.

Whether or not you initially gel with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will depend on your starting point.
When presented with the option between Episodes I, IV and VII, I initially chose The Force Awakens. Mainly because my brain figured that – given this is something of a remake of the prior LEGO Star Wars Everything titles – this would represent the newest offering from Traveller’s Tales.
As it turns out, not liking the newest Star Wars movies also equates to not liking their LEGO game versions.
Once I switched to A New Hope, I found myself far more open to Skywalker Saga’s somewhat haphazard presentation.
Covering all nine films is no easy feat, let alone rewriting prior LEGO games.

It’s Bunkers & Badasses, Baybee!
Welcome to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. What better way is there to while away your time in space than a game of Bunkers & Badasses.
A table-top fantasy RPG being played by Valentine, Frette, and you, The Newbie. And with Tiny Tina as the Dungeon Master, well, anything can happen.
All in a very Borderlands way of course.

Over the years, I’ve had a few Logitech PC peripherals, mainly keyboards and mice, and I have to say I’ve always been a big fan of the company’s hardware.
All of the keyboards I’ve used over the years, however, have been standard ones. By that I mean they didn’t have mechanical keys.
Well, that changed recently when Logitech got in touch asking if I’d be keen to check out its G413 SE.
A wired mechanical gaming keyboard with tactile mechanical switches that feels excellent to game and type on.

Weird West is truly is a weird one. Ostensibly a Western, yet nary a gee-tar twang or corny rattle of spurs. Instead, a strange, electronic ambience, a strong leaning towards the supernatural, and a distinct lack of darn-tootin’ voiced characters.
Weird West immediately puts you on the back foot, subverting expectations. For instance, I initially shot at a circling flock of vultures early in the game, collecting their questionable meat to cook at a fire for a health boost.
Only to realise that each bullet is precious in this world, and I had wasted all of mine.

So a HUGE disclaimer right off the bat before we talk Elex 2.
I am a massive fan of the Piranha Bytes stable of games. The Gothic series, Risen series and, of course, Elex are some of my favourite games ever.
These games are all slightly different to the more popular role playing games we all know and love.
Some don’t like them at all, others have never played them, and then, like me, there is a group of absolute die hard fans.

nre than ol’ Bungo. They have even been owned by Microsoft, Activision and now even Sony! But throughout these various sets of hands, Bungie have deftly maintained a unique level of creative freedom, giving us the best First Person Shooters ever made.
Now Destiny 2 has finally taken a leap into a new expansion, “The Witch Queen”. Unsurprisingly, Bungie have knocked it out of the park again!

Everybody likes a bit of Lo Wang. Unfortunately after his last adventure Lo is a bit well, low. Drowning in self pity, spending all day with no pants on, low. But yet again the world is need of a smart mouthed hero that is quick with a blade and a one liner.
A Shadow Warrior is needed.
Time to gather up your katana and guns, oh and your pants. It is one big nasty looking dragon that needs taking care of. Actually it might be a wyvern…
