Despite a torrent of scathing reviews and some extremely meme-able editing, Bohemian Rhapsody (opens in new tab) was a commercial smash, banking close to a billion worldwide and bagging an Oscar for its leading man Rami Malek. It set a high bar for Elton John biopic Rocketman, starring Taron Egerton …

PC players have long been clamoring for a wireless version of the beloved G502 (especially one compatible with Logitech’s charging mouse mat, the Powerplay), and Logitech has answered the call with its brand new Lightspeed refresh.

Expanding its healthy portfolio of headsets, Turtle Beach has another new entry this spring (out now in the US; May 31st for the EU). The Recon 70 addresses an area we haven’t actually seen that much action in: headsets aimed directly at the Nintendo Switch. The Recon 70 pitches itself …
Read More »The Walking Dead season 9 review: “The best the show has been in years”
I don’t blame anyone who checked out of The Walking Dead years ago. Heck, the show was at its meandering worst as recently as The Walking Dead season 8 (opens in new tab), which saw the war with Negan come to an unceremonious end. And yet, at the same time, …
Read More »Razer Kraken headset review: “A terrific headset that will give you quality game audio whatever you play”
We all know, and in many cases love, Razer’s gaming tech, and its headsets have become some of our favorites. The Pro V2 headset, for example, has long been our top pick and has the balance of performance, design, cost and features pretty much bang on. However, there’s a new …
Read More »Star Trek Discovery S2.07 review: “Promises some exciting things to come”
Not every episode of Star Trek Discovery season 2 (opens in new tab) can be action-packed and although episode 7, Light and Shadows, has its fair share of danger, the more important storyline is the one which deals with Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and her family drama. While not much happens …

WIth an origin story that dates all the way back to a tiny Palo Alto garage in the 1930s, Hewlett Packard has been one the premiere names in prebuilt PCs for a very long time. Their Omen line of desktops and laptops is their midrange play, aimed at gamers who …
Read More »Aquaman review: “A step in the right direction for the DCEU”
Extending the DC universe some 20,000 leagues under the sea, Aquaman takes place post-Justice League (opens in new tab), though you wouldn’t necessarily know it. Fair enough – we’d all rather forget 2017’s superteam cut-and-shut. In any case, keeping things standalone seems wise in a film already stuffed to the …
Read More »Subnautica review: “I haven’t felt this petrified in a video game since Resident Evil 7”
The elevator pitch for Subnautica doesn’t exactly sound like Game of the Year material. A survival horror crafting game set almost entirely underwater? Colour me sceptical.
