The ASUS ROG Strix Impact II may be a gaming mouse, but aside from the flashing LED that cycles through all the colours of the rainbow when in use, you wouldn’t be able to tell just from looking at it. This inconspicuous piece of kit goes for style points over …

Sony has finally turned up to the rear button-and-paddle party. Over the course of the Xbox One/PS4 era, Microsoft has released two high-end Elite controllers (most recently the Xbox One Elite Controller Series 2 (opens in new tab)) offering a premium build and new upgrades, including a set of four …

What a difference a day makes!” sings Dinah Washington repeatedly in Waves, a powerful drama from writer/director Trey Edward Shults in which the tragic events of one seismic day forever change the lives of one middle-class Florida family. Neatly divided into two halves, the film starts by showing how bad …

There are a lot of eyes on Le Mans ’66 (or Ford v Ferrari, as it’s known in the US), because it was produced by 20th Century Fox, but is being released by Disney following that mammoth entertainment acquisition. It’s almost become the epitome of ‘the type of film that …

There’s a cute new creature in Frozen 2 – a fiery gecko-like creature that could’ve escaped from Pokémon – that almost sums up the whole sequel. It’s fun, looks great and is sure to delight kids, but you’re never entirely convinced about the point of its existence. When Frozen opened …

You’re going to be doing a lot of talking in The Outer Worlds. Or, rather, you’re going to have a lot of people talk at you before selecting from one of several pre-written dialogue options in response. Anyone who’s played a Fallout game won’t be a stranger to this kind …

Even kicking back on his Arizona family homestead (as glimpsed in the final shots of 2008’s Rambo), the PTSD sufferer is still armed to the teeth: crossbows, shotguns and knives …

You’d have been forgiven for feeling slightly underwhelmed when the NHL 20 reveal trailer emerged back in June. It all but confirmed the series was to avoid EA’s Frostbite Engine for yet another year – something FIFA and Madden transitioned to years ago – while a perceived lack of major …

Sega may have uncovered the cheapest form of time-travel there is with the Sega Genesis Mini. Take one look at its box and you’re suddenly yanked by the neck to another place entirely (1991, for most); a place where Pogs are still cool and everyone has a Tamagotchi they’ve forgotten …

The alpha-male friction between DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and criminal Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) is one of the more amusing sidelines in the recent Fast & Furious films. The Rock v. Statham… it doesn’t get more testosterone-fuelled than watching these two man-mountains trade bantz and blows. So it makes perfect sense that they form the backbone for Hobbs …
