SteelSeries Kana Mouse Review
Saturday, February 4th, 2012SteelSeries Kinzu V2 Mouse Review
Saturday, February 4th, 2012Gaming mice are great, but they’re called gaming mice for a reason. They’re geared heavily towards gaming, tend to be bristling with buttons and are often quite bulky and not overly suited to a family computer. As us gamers grow up we have to face the fact that our gaming rigs of yore and old [...]
SoulCalibur V review (PS3)
Saturday, February 4th, 2012Review by John Cranston Welcome back to the stage of history, a time when combat was civilised and men, women and monsters fought each other with swords and sticks, not their bare fists. With this new instalment, developers Project Soul have done much with SoulCalibur V - available now for PS3 and Xbox 360 - to ensure it [...]
Dungeon Defenders PS3 Reviewed
Monday, January 9th, 2012It’s no secret among gamers that some of the greatest titles around come from some of the most unlikely places. I need not mention Minecraft, but I will. And if you want to get PS3-specific, then you can’t deny that Warhawk was an absolutely cracking downloadable PS3 title in its day. Stepping in with more [...]
Startech USB to HDMI and DVI Adaptors Reviewed
Saturday, December 31st, 2011USB to video adaptors have been on my to-do list for a while, and I’ve finally got ’round to getting my hands on a couple. They are the Startech USB2DVIE2 and the Startech USB2HDMI. Let me come right out and say that the latter is better. The USB2HDMI adaptor may require two USB ports, but [...]
Gears of War 3 – Xbox 360 review
Sunday, December 11th, 2011Review by John Cranston The final instalment of the Gears of War trilogy was released by Epic Games in September this year and I’m finally writing about it. It’s testament to its quality that every time I’ve tried to sit down at my desk I have ended up playing it instead. It’s the jewel in [...]
Rayman Origins PS3 Review
Monday, November 28th, 2011I’ve been whining, moaning and complaining about the influx of Raving Rabbid related trash which seems to be sullying Rayman’s good name, so it seems only fitting that I should pounce upon a grassroots Rayman title like a… err… gaming pouncey tiger thing. Rayman Origins is that title, and within about 10 minutes of firing [...]
Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster Review
Monday, November 28th, 2011As Christmas draws ever near, the time has come to enthuse about the latest wonderful gadgets you could be getting for yourself, or for your loved ones. One of these wonderful gadgets is the Xbox 360 “Kinect” attachment. If you have kids, and don’t already have a Kinect (or an Xbox 360) then it’s a [...]
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken PS3 review
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011The glory days of the side-scrolling shooter are over, but that doesn’t stop some determined games developers from bringing back the 2D with a little 21st century flair. These days we have the benefit of 2.5d, controllers with more buttons than you can shake a pointy stick at, and HD televisions which, frankly, I have [...]
Our man in… Eurogamer Expo 2011
Friday, September 30th, 2011by John Cranston Back for the fourth year running, the Eurogamer Expo is largely unchallenged as the king of UK gaming conventions. Taking place once again at Earls Court in London, this time over four whole days (September 22 – 25), the event had expanded to now fill the main hall at Earls Court One. [...]
