Phantom Abyss (Steam) – Review

I never considered a cursed temple filled with traps an excellent place to find oneself. Phantom Abyss proves that despite this, exploring trap-filled chambers makes for a pretty good video game. Team WIBY and the champs at Devolver Digital set a platforming challenge that takes relic hunting to the next

The Colour Purple (Movie) – Review

There are movies in this world that deal with topics and themes that will make people uncomfortable and that’s the whole point. The viewer is meant to feel what the characters feel, and really take stock in a situation, asking themselves how they would react if they were in place

Tribe: Primitive Builder (Steam) – Review

Colony-building simulators are one of my favourite genres in gaming, especially when they allow you to put your little guys to work. Tribe: Primitive Builder, an indie title, is a perfect example of the unnecessary need for a big studio budget to make something incredible. A collaborative effort by three

ROG Delta S Core Gaming Headset – Review

From laptops and handhelds to motherboards and keyboards, hell let’s even throw in phones, ‘Republic Of Gamers’ seems to make everything gamers need. With the philosophy ‘Technology never sleeps, nor should the action’, I humbly agree that it isn’t fun until you are fully immersed in it. Compatible and supported

Will you become a hero or a legend? That is the big question when you jump into this dungeon-clearing, RPG looter. Developed by Industry Games, ‘Dungeons of Sundaria’ can be played singularly or in a co-op of up to 4, even allowing for split screen in local play. An impressive

STUFFED (Steam) – Review

We all had nightmares as young children, and finding protection in words, people, or an inanimate object is what would help us through the night. Coming from a family of six brothers and one sister, sleeping right through the night was quite the task my parents would have to undertake,

FIFINE Microphone, established back in 2009, provided MKAU with their brand new budget headset, the FIFINE Ampligame H9 Headset, and I put the headset through its paces on the PC, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch, but being a budget headset, how did it fair? The first thing I noticed
