Hardware review by Matt S. I’ve picked up a new hobby this year: retro emulation handhelds. It started out as something to keep me distracted through all the lockdowns and isolation this year, but has since become something that I’ve really enjoyed doing; purchasing these little devices (usually from China),…
Read MoreHardware review by Matt S. Now we’re talking. Last week I reviewed the relatively modestly-priced EPOS Sennheiser GSP 370 headset, which offered excellent sound quality through the speakers but let itself down by lacking key features and having a microphone that wasn’t useful for anything but the most casual gaming applications.…
Read MoreHardware review by Matt S. The folks at EPOS have sent me over a couple of their more recent higher-end gaming headsets to catch up on some gadget reviews (I really don’t get to do as many of these as I would probably like to…). First up I’m a taking…

Read MoreGadget review by Rob P. I’ll admit that I shed a tiny tear when Mad Catz went into administration in 2017. It’s not that their products were always the best – although I’d argue that their fight sticks and the RAT range of mice were right up there – but…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. I am, by nature, a fairly tranquil soul. I desire little more than a sense of zen-like harmony with a side order of peace and goodwill. But put a fighting game in front of me and I’m going to beat the crap out of it. Hey,…
