EPOS H3 Hybrid Review

Should You Buy XGIMI Halo or Halo+

XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector Review

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny Review

Nippon Ichi Software has found a lot of success with Disgaea, their unique take on the tactical RPG genre. With silly jokes, obtuse characters and absurdly large numbers, it's a franchise that won over a lot of people instantly. With Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny it marks a new step for the...

Guilty Gear Strive Review

When Blazblue first released, there was a lot of hype for Guilty Gear. The improved visuals and flashy combo system seemed perfect for the franchise.

Immerse Gaming | HIVE Review

Back when I sold televisions, my manager Matt would sum up the importance of a full theater system so perfectly. While the display handled the cognitive side of things, audio brings out the emotional side. This is how older movies accomplished so much by doing so little. The creak of a floorboard,...

XGIMI Halo Projector Review

COVID-19 impacted a lot of things, but the most unexpected change for me was the increased interest in projectors.

Biomutant Review

Gaming is a lot more complicated than it used to be and this has resulted in a variety of problems. Increased cost, frequent issues and, most notably, delays. Unfortunately, I fully understand why they come about but it has become an increasingly hot button issue. Any time something is pushed out...

Rust Console Edition Review

Minecraft and things of the like have shown there is a lot more to gaming than fighting monsters or jumping on stuff. Unique experiences, unusual ideas and different concepts have led to a diverse range of titles. Rust is certainly an experience that sounds like it would fail on paper. You, with a...

Aukey KM-G16 Review

Technology is an interesting business, one with incredible ranges in regards to price and features. While a lot of people will stick with a major brand like HyperX or SteelSeries for most of their gaming needs, some less known companies make solid offerings at a fraction of their cost. One such...

Resident Evil Village Review

Resident Evil has been something of a rollercoaster. What was once the standard for survival horror, eventually moved to action, ultimately returning to its roots.
