Cooler Master Hyper 212 Pro review
The Hyper 212 is a legend. I was still in school when it first came out—the early 2000s, I believe—and it’s remained an undying recommendation for some PC builders ever since. I’m not surprised it’s still around either, being a cheap and capable cooler, though I am surprised Cooler Master is still able to find…
PC gamers don’t have many options for CPUs and graphics cards but when it comes to gaming mice, we’re absolutely spoiled for choice
Like most people of my age, my first ever PC came with a mouse that was decidedly less than pleasant to use. The ball and rollers, used to track movement, would constantly get all gunked up, sending the cursor to have random attempts at screen freedom all the time. It was also heavy, loud, and…
A Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Variant Of The Retroid Pocket Classic 6 Could Be On The Way
That’s according to Retroid’s social media account. It looks like we could soon be getting a new colour variant for the Retroid Pocket Classic 6 based on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis (as spotted by the publication RetroHandhelds). At the moment, as you might already be aware, Retroid is currently only offering the six-button…
Steam introduces new rule prohibiting ‘certain kinds’ of adult content that might make Visa or Mastercard unhappy: ‘Financial deplatforming in action’
Devs are biting their nails over a new Steam rule that prohibits—in painfully vague terms—certain kinds of content on its platform. The new rule (seemingly introduced incredibly recently, and definitely introduced since the Wayback Machine’s last Steam rules snapshot from April 14 this year) forbids “Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth…
Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) – Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
Big DK energy. Even though it confirmed my suspicions, the reveal that Donkey Kong Bananza was coming to us from the team behind Super Mario Odyssey couldn’t help but strike a little bit of fear into my heart. We know that the group within Nintendo EPD is a talented bunch, but how was I ever…
It’s been a year since Minecraft ditched annual summer updates, and I have to admit there’s never been a better time to play
I don’t like change. When I first heard that Mojang decided to end the yearly summer Minecraft updates and do away with the controversial mob vote, my initial reaction was to deny it was even happening. Then, when my friends told me that this was our new lived reality, I got angry. I tried bargaining…
A game I can only describe as ‘gooner Fortnite’ has an upcoming closed beta test where you can see your own melons for the ultimate immersion
In 1998, Trespasser: Jurassic Park: The Lost World revolutionised gaming forever by slapping a health bar tattoo on the protagonist’s boobs, forcing you to stare down at her cleavage in order to discern how close to death you were. Videogames have been too cowardly to ascend to such heights since—limiting their powers to some visible…
My desktop has been overrun by virtual pop sensation Hatsune Miku goodies from Asus, but I’m here to tell you that it really is a case of style over substance
Everyone knows that when it comes to setting up your PC peripherals, it’s all about aesthetics. Okay. Well, maybe not always. A lot of the time it’s more worthwhile to invest in high quality products that enhance your gaming experience, but hey, what’s wrong with having a little fun and flair at your desk? I’ll…
