Review by Matt S. In the last couple of years “the Cloud” has gone from a marketing term for something that technology vendors have tried to sell to big corporations to something that everyone understands. Thanks to Sony offering players the ability to keep their game saves safe even if…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. After plenty of build-up over the last half year, both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One have finally released. We took a look at the PlayStation 4 last week, and you can see our review of it here. Now that we have had a chance…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. Do you own a Bluetooth speaker? If not, I confidently predict that you’ll have one by Christmas. They’re this year’s seasonal gadget of choice, and they vary from pocket-sized gizmos to full hi-fi replacements. The Divoom Onbeat-200 falls somewhere in the middle: it’s mid-price, mid-spec and…

Read MoreOnly the laziest of writers would quote from a press release in the first paragraph of their review. So, now that we know where we stand, here’s what SteelSeries have to say about their Flux In-Ear Pro headset: “The balanced armature driver requires no external air to produce sound. This…
Read MoreWhen Ouya landed on Kickstarter, the reception throughout the gaming media world was understandably mixed. Why do we need an Android-based console to play the games that we’re already playing on mobile devices?
