I’ve lost count of how many gaming laptops I’ve had over the years. But, somehow, I’ve lost the love of late. Nothing’s really grabbed me. Until now, that is. Razer has just outed its new Razer Blade 14 for 2025 just in time for the Computex show and I think it’s thin-and-light gaming lappy I’ve…
The Witcher 3 is perhaps one of the most memorable RPGs of its era—we certainly like it—but, like all games, it took a lot of time and money to make. CDPR didn’t spin it from the fabric of dreams, and while co-CEO of the studio Michał Nowakowski says the Witcher 2 definitely sold enough to…
503sier said than done. We’re a little over two weeks out from the launch of a new console and after eight years of Switch 1, there are plenty of Nintendo fans eager to get going with the next generation. If retailer website chaos is any indicator, demand for the next Switch has been very strong…
Blades of Fire doesn’t do itself any favours pairing Aran, its rugged action hero with godlike powers, a tragic past, and a broken heart, up with a much younger sidekick he insists on calling “boy” and “kid” far too often—but cracking through the Kratos of it all reveals a game that’s trying to leave a…
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from my time with sims like Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, and that one game that gave me the historic opportunity to be the first person to write “Rudolf Hilferding” on this website, it’s that I wouldn’t cut it in a time of crisis. Material conditions would slam-dunk me into…
I have many interests, and about half of them involve my PC in some shape or form. But I moved country a few years ago, and this meant having to rebuild a decent chunk of my collection of tech. Corsair has shown off a version of one of its cases, with a DAC, which I…
I’ve had to contend with far fewer dicey data management situations than all that spy-fi I watched at an impressionable age led me to believe—just like quicksand, it’s just not a day-to-day thing I need to worry about. Well, TeamGroup has unveiled a portable SSD that’ll allow me to live out my youthful Mission: Impossible…
Hats off, Vivi. Square Enix has been steadily feeding us with a bunch of new Final Fantasy IX merch over the past few months. From plushies of the main cast to black mage hats and figurines of Zidane and Garnet, there’s no shortage of new items. All in aid of the game’s 25th anniversary this…
Helldivers 2 released a huge milestone update today—a battle for Super Earth, and the inclusion of City Maps. I got my boots on the ground right away, dropping into a smoke-filled ruin of a city named Eagleopolis, the thrum of distant Illuminate ships and the warble of cruel, unflinching overseers flooding my senses. Our mission?…
I made the switch to wireless mice three or four years ago—it took me a while, I know—and since then, I haven’t wanted to turn back. But ever since making the switch, like the close-minded bigot I am, I’d written off mice with removable batteries. They just seemed so old-fashioned, you know? But not according…
