Included in those compilations

Towerborne was a title I had not seen much coverage for in my doom-scrolling of social media. Then, on one of my regular checks to titles coming to the Xbox Game Pass, I discovered a title that visually grabbed my attention and appealed to my old-school side-scrolling gaming days. Initially

In 2000, the original Final Destination was released in cinemas, bringing something new to the horror genre.

I think I was in my mid-teen years when Beyblades made their way into stores, so I never really had the chance to experience the thrill of spinning tops designed to smash into each other. At the time, I considered myself too old for that kind of thing. I do

Released on March 13th, 2025, Outlawed is a PvE or PvPvE First-Person Shooter from Okami Studio. In my research, I couldn’t find much information on Okami Studio, which, in my past experiences reviewing and learning more about the teams behind the games, is a mystery to me. Outlawed can be

The Care Bears franchise began as greeting cards in 1981, designed in 1981 by artist Elena Kucharik. The loveable multi-coloured bears later became a highly successful toy line as plush teddy bears.

I’ve been lucky enough to review several Acer products during my time working with MKAU Gaming, but nothing as prestigious as their Predator series, so you can only imagine how excited I was when we were asked to check out the Acer Predator X32 X3 Gaming Monitor.  Assembly is a

In the 80s, Disney’s TRON captured the vision of being dragged into a sci-fi world in a game-like world. While it probably looked cool then, it’s not as high-tech as it could’ve been. Since the original film, there have been additional films with TRON: Legacy (2010) and another movie this
