Hunt The Night Review

I was intrigued into giving Hunt The Night a try by its retro style and fairly narrow scope. A classic example of easy-to-learn and hard-to-master. I was not disappointed, but I’m also not afraid to admit that Hunt The Night…

Meg’s Monster Review

I overlooked Meg’s Monster at first, but a second poke from a certain Hound prompted me to give it a look. I was not disappointed. Meg’s Monster is a short, beautifully presented, gloriously nostalgic trip back to the irreverent joy…

Lunistice Review

Lunistice perfectly captures what I remember playing PSX games feeling like. Yet it’s not wholly stuck in that nostalgic past. It fuses the charming low-poly style of the 32bit era with a vibrant, visually cohesive set of environments, responsive modern…

Ducky One 3 – Matcha, Silver Switches – Reviewed

The Ducky One 3 Matcha brings the aesthetics, finish and feel of something retro to a reassuringly robust and meticulously modern beast of a full-sized keyboard. The colour scheme, inspired by Matcha – the marmite of beverages – is evocative…

Elden Ring Is Awesome

I’ll level with you, dear reader, I am not a Soulslike fan. I’m not even a Soulslike player. I’ve been close. I’ve got a few hours clocked on Hyperlight Drifter and some more on Hades (with God Mode enabled). I’m…

Hoa captures what I would call the “Ghibli Aesthetic.” It’s for this reason – much as I still look upon Ni No Kuni with temptation and wish I had 40 hours to spare – that I was drawn to it,…

Alienware Area 51M R2 i9 RTX2070 Reviewed

While I am an outspoken fan of Alienware’s portable m15 r2 and r3 I’ve never quite understood the purpose of luggable systems like the Area 51M. Hefting the Area 51M out of its box for the first time, I couldn’t…

Alienware M15 R3 SSD Upgrade – 2230 Bracket Kioxia Edition

The M15 R3 has, surprisingly, a 2230 SSD slot generally reserved for data storage. It’s a welcome addition to Alienware’s M15 R2 successor that offers the opportunity to install a bonus extra disk for dual booting Linux or archiving media…

Alienware m15 r3 vs r2 Showdown

I’ve had the Alienware m15 r2 as my daily-driver for around a year now- using it for a mix of work, Blender tinkering, musical noodling and gaming. It’s a solid machine and is as much at home as a portable…
