Thursday, December 10th, 2009Our man in… Eurogamer Expo 2009 (London)
Friday, November 13th, 2009by Johnus Maximus There’s not much in my life that warrants getting up before 7am on a day off, not even the potential to grind some more achievements whilst having a bacon and egg butty and a huge mug of tea will make me rise from my pit before lunchtime.

Monday, June 29th, 2009Just in case you’re wondering exactly what a “gaming surface” is, it’s a fancy term for gaming mouse-mat. No mouse mat could be more deserving of such a fancy term than the Sphex, however.

Logitech G19 Keyboard Review
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Ever since the tragic-looking G11 which I couldn’t even muster the effort to shrug at, Logitech have been soldiering on, taking strictly evolutionary steps in an apparent effort to make a keyboard, the functionality of which could replace your computer entirely.

Logitech G19 Quick ‘n’ Dirty Video Look
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009To pre-empt my full review of the Logitech G19 I’ve tossed together a very quick and dirty video using the Ricoh CX1 and a bit of iMovie magic.
