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. But Unknown Worlds’ PC sensation, which hit Steam earlier this year and is now available on PS4 and Xbox One, makes a memorable impression …
Read More »Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse review: “A joyful, trippy new incarnation”
Of all the characters in all the fictional universes, Spider-Man feels like the one least in need of another new spin. The character’s been done in live action three times in recent memory, and is currently in very rude health in the form of Tom Holland’s MCU-traversing Peter Parker. Into …
Read More »Soma review: “A dark and deviant science fiction tale well worth a look”
Soma is one of the December 2018 PlayStation Plus free games (opens in new tab) – if you’re a subscriber, be sure to check it out! It’s happened to the best of us: waking up on a rusty, submerged research station at the bottom of the ocean without the …
Read More »The Walking Dead S9.07 review: “A disappointing return to slow paced, dispensable inaction”
We knew it was coming. There was no way The Walking Dead season 9 (opens in new tab) could maintain its winning streak for this long. This is The Walking Dead after all. No season has been a pitch perfect run of hit after hit. There’s always, at the very …
Read More »Mary Queen of Scots review: “Reaches for the twists and treachery of a real-life Game of Thrones”
Two ruling box-office queens, Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, go head-to-head in this richly packed but over-ambitious royal biopic, recreating the seven-year rivalry between plucky, fate-battered Mary, Queen of Scots and her determined cousin, England’s Elizabeth 1. Debut director Josie Rourke sets her handsomely styled feminist melodrama off at a …
Read More »Hitman 2 review: “Feels like an expansion pack, rather than a real sequel”
There aren’t many games that let you recall the time you knocked an old woman unconscious with a freshly baked blueberry muffin while she was distracted by a Big Mouth Billy Bass in an upstairs corridor of a suburban house. Or that time you gave a tattoo directly to a …
