Crunchyroll: Shogun Showdown review - "Compelling roguelike combat that has taken over my entire life"Feudal Japan, a gorgeous soundtrack, and a noble quest to take down a shogun who may or may not be cursed with a mystical malady that's threatening to consume the world - it's all pretty standard for your humble samurai in Crunchyroll's Shogun Showdown. You'll sharpen your sword, take on evil henchmen, then somehow make one small mistake that'll end your life and force you to start all over again from scratch - and I am all for it. ... [ MORE ]

Cable Guys Buds Deadpool review - "A quality Deadpool!"I've looked at a variety of earbuds, from simplistic pairs that have no real personality to ones that are meant to look futuristic and fun. Now, it's time to check out a pair that is tied to fans of a specific superhero! The Cable Guys Buds Deadpool is both a holding stand for your earbuds, along with a themed case, and earbuds to go with it. If you're a fan of Deadpool, you'll obviously like these. The little statue is worth it alone; it's a quality stand, with a good paint job and details in the actual mold. To me, it doesn't look perfectly proportional, but that might be because of the earbud case on it, but I like the quality of it generally! ... [ MORE ]

Gunnar Mustang review - "Classic style"Gunnar has been releasing a bunch of different styles of blue-light glasses, so that you can pick the pair that fits your fashion sense. These are designed to help with your eye health, as they have tinted lenses which can reduce eye strain, especially when looking at screens. The Gunnar Mustang blue light glasses have a thin frame, creating a twist on the Maverick aviator look. It's one that can feel more masculine. This pair of glasses comes in three frame colours; Onyx (which is a black), silver and gold. The gold pair really stand out as well, being more of a statement piece. ... [ MORE ]

Sunset Hills review - "Beautiful, captivating world"Sunset Hills is a visually stunning point-and-click adventure game where you play as Nico, a war veteran who is looking to visit his friends from the war. Though you haven't seen them in a while, you are now looking to travel around the world and visit your friends. Sunset Hills is divided into chapters, and each takes place in a different city where you're looking for a different friend. The first of which is Tobik, where you get off a train and miss your bus, seeing your first hurdle when it comes to actually getting to see your friends. ... [ MORE ]

Edifier NeoBuds Planar review - "All about the bass"Edifier is known for their absolutely fantastic pairs of earbuds. My absolute, go-to, daily earbuds are from Edifier, so I was well prepared to try out their NeoBuds Planar - a wireless pair of earbuds with noise cancelling and a neat-shaped case. The earbuds themselves are a very classic shape and come with some alternative earbud covers, if your ears are a bit smaller or bigger than average. There are actually a bunch of sizes, which cover everything. These are very comfortable to wear for lengths of time. They come in a flatter and rounder case than the classic AirPods case, which has a white light under the opening, turning on when it's charging or when it's opened. The earbuds click in via magnets, as with most earbud cases. ... [ MORE ]

Gunnar Elin review - "Feminine and Stylish"Gunnar is known for their computer glasses, which have lenses designed to lessen eye strain when using screens and devices that have blue light. They have a variety of different lenses to take a look at, depending on your style. The Elin Gunnar glasses are ones that are more feminine-focused, which is nice to see! The Elin glasses are a part of the Kista collection, named after Nordic technology hubs, aimed at celebrating the key role women play in tech. These glasses actually look quite similar to a few pairs of glasses I have seen other women in tech wear generally, so I can see their design being popular. ... [ MORE ]

Tozo T20 True Wireless Stereo review - "Small and on budget"The Tozo T20 True Wireless Stereo earbuds are within a mid-tier price range, though often on sale, putting them into a more budget earbud category. These earbuds are a little smaller in size, including their travel case, and have a more classic shape to their case and earbuds. The outside of the charging case has a USB-C input and they come with a standard, short USB-C to USB cable so that you can charge them. On the front of the case, you can actually clearly see how charged the earbuds are, through an LED percentage shining through when plugged in. This is quite neat, as it flashes slowly when it's charging - much easier to see than a little colored light. ... [ MORE ]

Maono Wave T5 Wireless Lavalier Microphone review - "Portable, high-quality, and affordable to boot"I'm always a little bit sceptical of things that claim to be the best at something (the "No. 1 best-selling internet microphone worldwide", to be exact), but after giving Maono's products a go myself all these years, I have to admit - I've become a fan. It not only blew me away by packing so much into so little, but it also single-handedly stripped me of my creative writing skills because I just couldn't find the right words to describe it (more on this later). It's not that the RGB lights somehow always lure me in, or the fact that Maono seems to know exactly the type of aesthetic I like when it comes to gaming peripherals. While looks are all well and good, it's the powerhouse chugging along underneath that truly matters at the end of the day - and after taking my sweet time with the Maono Wave T5 Wireless Lavalier Microphone, I can honestly say it's beautiful inside and out. ...

GameSir X5 Lite review - "An impressive lightweight controller"After getting a chance to review the GameSir X3 Pro wired controller, I was curious how the X5 Lite would compare and found myself pleasantly surprised. Similar to the GameSir X2s, the X5 Lite mobile controller is a wrap-around mobile gaming controller. It's compatible with Android phones and the iPhone 15/16 series. The X5 Lite feels nearly weightless in your hands at only 135.4 grams. Currently available in black or wasabi green, the X5 Lite has a sleek and sophisticated look. This new controller is incredibly easy to set up. ... [ MORE ]
