Review by Matt S. A new console means a new opportunity for third parties to release stuff that works with those new consoles. The PlayStation 5 has a genuinely impressive array of features, from the speed of SSD storage under the hood through to a controller that brings some interesting…
Read MoreHardware Review by Matt S. I feel a little strange in writing this, but I’m not sure there’s all that much to say about the PlayStation 5, because this console is less about being a big hardware leap forward than it is a console that will be about the games…
Read MoreHardware 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 MoreNews by Matt S. Ever since I discovered the Analogue Pocket, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to secure one of these devices. A retro machine designed to play old cartridges (and I have dozens of Game Boy games thanks to trips to Japan), the Pocket is a…

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.
