SteelSeries Siberia V2 Headset Review
Sunday, July 11th, 2010It’s very rare that a set of cans, or stonkin’ great headphones, will replace my beloved Roland RH300s for any length of time. But the Siberia V2 has done just that. Admittedly, the Rolands are wearing out somewhat from sheer excessive use, so I welcome another set to step in and hold the flame [...]

Sony SRS DB500 2.1 Speakers Review
Sunday, April 11th, 2010As much as they try to pretend otherwise with their Hi-Fi audio appearance the Sony SRS DB500 are PC speakers through and through or, at a pinch, a ridiculously over the top outlet for the tunes on your portable audio player. They’re great for gaming, but you will do them a better justice pumping out [...]
BioShock 2 Xbox 360 Review
Sunday, April 4th, 2010I’ll come right out and say it, BioShock 2 is not as good as the original, and I could find many aspects about this particular sequel to pick holes in, but before doing that I would like to add that, despite its flaws and a disturbing tendency towards harbouring some weird message about parenthood, I [...]
Parallels 5 Gaming
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010One of the biggest questions raised in response to the 27″ iMac was “how good is it for gaming.” The response, at least in terms of native Mac games is very positive. And a reboot into Windows 7 offers pretty stellar performance in a variety of new Windows-only titles, even performing admirably at the native [...]

Thursday, March 11th, 2010Not content with looking at simply one LED monitor, I sourced a competing product from Samsung and managed to obtain the 23″ XL2370 which also runs at 1920×1080.
I’ll come right up and say that the Samsung XL2370 is the inferior product in many respects, and it’s evident that either the Samsung brand has leant it [...]
