As Dell’s self-proclaimed “world’s thinnest laptop”, the Alienware x14 is certainly compact piece of hardware. And what Dell has managed to pack inside this tiny chassis is surprising.

The Ascent: Cyber Heist – Review

Stepping back into the Arcology after a year off made me realise how much I missed the bloody hellscape.

Beast – Review

The monster film genre has seen many ferocious beasts grace the silver screen over the course of the film industry. The ones based on real-life animals, however, seem to have resonated the most with audiences as I can comfortably say I avoid the ocean thanks to the likes of ‘Jaws’.

Session: Skate Sim – Preview

Skate games have always been something I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid and even tried to take up skating myself. Only getting the basics down like kickflips, 50-50 grinds, and sometimes pulling off varial flips, I decided to stick to the video game adaptations. I always find myself hanging

Traditional platforming side-scrollers have helped make up the foundation of gaming with over 40 years’ worth of entertainment. Growing up, the greatest adventures often came from games that had me bounding from one platform to another while racing the clock or meticulously avoiding enemies.
