Dubbed “The Middle Child” by SteelSeries themselves, the Kana is positioned in between the Sensei and Kinzu in both physical size and features. The Kana is [...]

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 [...]
Gaming On The 11″ MacBook Air
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011Perhaps the most common question asked about the MacBook Air is: “How does it handle gaming?” With the Air now representing the entry-level of Apple laptops it’s no surprise that prospective buyers would be interested in how it handles games. Gaming on the Mac is still in its infancy, but there are plenty of titles [...]
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Xbox 360 review
Sunday, September 18th, 2011Review by Johnus Maximus “In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war” is the strap-line that describes life in the 41st millennium. Humanity, having expanded across the galaxy, faces destruction not only from within, but also against nightmarish and brutal aliens. In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, a third person shooter developed [...]
SteelSeries NP+ Gaming Mouse Mat Review
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010As any PC gamer knows, the best possible accuracy isn’t just a function of your mouse, and how well it’s configured, but is also heavily dependant upon the right mousing surface. In my case this is particularly important, as a bare, glass desk isn’t the best of friends with gaming mice. A good mousing surface [...]
Our man in… Eurogamer Expo 2010
Sunday, October 10th, 2010by Johnus Maximus It hardly seems a year since my last foray into the exciting and glamorous world of games conventions, but once again the annual Eurogamer Expo had returned, for this their third year. This time they abandoned the north/south dual-expo idea and instead went for a larger and longer event in our nations [...]
SteelSeries Xai Gaming Mouse Review
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010I made no secret about my love for the SteelSeries Ikari Laser mouse, it was a great performer and had an interesting ergonomic that worked in both my left and right hand, despite being sculpted for the right. SteelSeries have broken the mould, however, and produced the Xai. A mouse that is to the Ikari [...]
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 for [...]
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 [...]
