Hardware review by Matt S. One of the consequences of COVID-19, the isolation, and the slowdown in work has been that I’ve acquired a new hobby: handheld retro emulation consoles. There’s a vast community of manufacturers of these things, and while you may have certain perceptions about the quality of…
Read MoreRetro by Matt S. It’s hard to shake the impression that the later half of 2020 is going to be a fairly quiet one for big (or at least interesting) game releases. At the moment things are fine – in just the last week we’ve had the likes of Final…
Read MoreGadget review by Matt S. Putting aside my intense distaste for the camouflage aesthetic (unless you’re actively looking to hide from enemy combatants, you don’t need to look like a soldier), the Stealth XP-Warrior headset has really impressed me. For a budget headset it offers both clear sound and an…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Designed for – and officially licensed to – the PlayStation 4, 4Gamers’ latest headset pitches itself at a very budget-friendly end of town. Obviously it’s not going to offer an experience comparable to headsets three or four times its price, but I was nonetheless impressed with…

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,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There is one immediate theme that rises to the surface during my time with Roccat’s new Noz Gaming Headset – comfort. The price pushes this one out of the low-end range and more towards the middle, with a lightweight design that actually looks pretty sharp while…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There is a lot to like about the Roccat Kova AIMO Mouse, from its sturdy build to its ambidextrous design. It is an affordable midrange option for those in the market for a gaming mouse, though it may lack some of the bells and whistles found…
Read MoreHardware review by Lee F. The bar for good sound quality is pretty high these days, and once you’ve enjoyed that quality it’s hard to listen to anything else.
