Edifier MR5 – Big Speakers, Quality Audio
Edifier has bought out its next iteration of speakers with the Edifier MR5, a very hefty pair of speakers for general use in pretty much any way you can think of, from anywhere between your television set to a personal desktop. The MR5s…
Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Reloaded
The new cards are really more of the same, so don’t expect a seismic shift in the gameplay. Things like identifying which player most recently pooped, or delivering wedding vows to another player are pretty funny in most situations.
Steel Century Groove – Pop, lock, and load
It’s certainly fun, and once the mechanics open up, you’ll have a really good time. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired though. Whilst the Tenzens look neat enough, you won’t get to pay much attention to them in battle due to how…
Dave the Diver is an exceptional adventure — but do darker themes linger beneath the surface?
Dave the Diver on Xbox is a vibrant, genre-blending adventure that combines deep-sea exploration with restaurant management, delivering one of my favourite experiences of recent years. It’s colourful, funny, and packed with content — but…
Cronos: The New Dawn is a well-crafted time-bending sci-fi survival horror
Cronos: The New Dawn on Xbox is a survival horror that thrives on its oppressive atmosphere and otherworldly tone, delivering a bleak and memorable experience that occasionally meanders into the overly familiar. With a heavy, cumbersome…
Don’t Press That Mine Turtle – Will this game blow up?
Don’t Press That Mine Turtle is essentially truth or dare. Each player has three cards that have challenges on them that they then set for another player to complete. If the recipient can’t or won’t complete that challenge, they have to…
Escape From Tarkov – Duck Hunt Event
Escape From Tarkov has just released its new event in partnership with Escape From Duckov, two wildly different aesthetics but with enough similarities in both name and content that they’ve pulled together to give players a taste of what…
Dynasty Warriors Origins – A Look at Visions of Four Heroes DLC

Coffee Rush is fast, fun and somehow… Extremely stressful!
Coffee Rush, published by Korea Board Games, is a title that looks deceptively light at first glance — bright colours, cheerful artwork, amazingly overproduced components and a theme built around brewing drinks and serving customers — but…
The Last Book – The Diary of the Last Earthling
From Hungry Minds, the Dubai-based group that brought us The Book - The Ultimate Guide To Rebuilding Civilization comes their second offering: The Last Book. There are books that tell stories, and then there are books that feel like…
Nioh 3 is the ultimate artistic expression of the Masocore Genre

Tainted Grail is a fantastic successor to the Elder Scrolls games of the last generation

Republic of Pirates is a steady but unremarkable take on city-building and RTS
Republic of Pirates on Xbox One is a promising blend of city builder, light strategy, and basic real-time naval combat, wrapped in a breezy Caribbean aesthetic that often feels about as crusty as Barnacle Bill. Developed by Crazy Goat…
Yogi is a quick, silly filler that kids will love
Yogi is a physical (and occasionally hilarious) party game by Bez Shahriari that has most recently been published by Hachette. It challenges players to twist, contort, and balance their way to victory — a bit like a spiritual successor to…
The Book – The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding Civilization by Hungry Minds
People always say “never judge a book by its cover,” and normally I’d agree. A flashy exterior can hide a hollow, over-marketed mess. But when The Book arrived, in a box so large it felt like it contained a lost relic, I felt that familiar…
21X is like playing Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training, only you can’t play it on the toilet.
21X comes to us from designer Leo Samson and published by Naylor Games, who gave us Sub Terra and Snowdonia: Grand Tour. Now comes their newest project to grant new life to the classic game of blackjack. Like blackjack, the goal of the…
