Another year, done and dusted, as we usher in one of the biggest and most prestigious nights, celebrating all things gaming in 2025. Firstly, we would like to congratulate all winners and nominees here on an absolutely stellar year, along with Game of the Year winner, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.  That being said, The Game…

Secretlab are no stranger when it comes to crafting some incredible gaming chairs over the years, and the TITAN Evo has been dominating as the popular premium option for a few years now. While I’ve never had one myself, I jumped at the opportunity to test the TITAN Evo XL option and have simply had…

It’s crazy to announce it here in writing, but I can proudly say that my wife and I are expecting our first child. Am I excited? Of course. Am I also terrified? You bet. When Goodnight Universe came my way, I couldn’t resist the subject matter and felt compelled to give this one a shot….

It’s that time of the year again, when the best games of the year compete for the ultimate glory. In addition to the awards themselves, it’s also a great time for new announcements and trailers, with The Game Awards having gained quite the reputation over the years for some major news and surprises. The Game…

Sydney is set to host the very first Pokémon GO City Safari this coming weekend. This unique experience will get fans exploring Sydney’s harbour, discovering new landmarks and hidden gems, all while meeting new friends along the way. The event will kick off this weekend and take place on December 13 and 14, 2025. We’ve…

I feel like everyone around me is beginning to adapt to robot vacuums for automated cleaning while at home and away, and I can definitely see why. I can’t believe I haven’t pulled the trigger on a robot vacuum just yet, but upon being allowed to review Roborock’s new Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, I’m glad…

It’s no secret that the Call of Duty machine practically churns at the end of every year, working on the next annual project in hopes of moving the Modern Warfare or Black Ops series forward. Funnily enough, we got Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 one after the other, so it seems the next…

We recently reviewed Corsair’s Vanguard 96 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, applauding it for its premium build quality, satisfying keys and general versatility. That being said, we would also like to mention up top that our review for the Vanguard Pro 96 Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard might draw similarities in certain areas, and while we don’t mean…

Gaming has arguably never been more accessible, across a range of portable and dedicated devices. While mobile gaming has been popular for a while now, the era of cloud and console quality gaming on the go is upon us, and we must prepare accordingly. Sure, you’ve got something like the Backbone One, which has been…

The Hyrule Warriors series has made a decent impact on the Nintendo Switch as a formidable, Dynasty Warriors-infused Musou experience that builds on the lore of its existing mainline Zelda titles. While those previous titles lacked the performance required to handle multiple enemies on screen at any given time, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment finally…

Valve has announced it will be releasing new hardware in 2026, which we now know to be the Steam Machine. This new PC-console hybrid will essentially work like a PC in terms of its outright compatibility and versatility, but will be used more like a traditional console. That’s not all, however, as Valve also announced…

Funnily enough, I actually have my original PC copy of 2004’s Painkiller, and while I was way too young to be playing it, I  enjoyed the first-person chaos. As you would imagine, I was actually incredibly excited to find out this underrated gem was getting a full remake. While 2025’s Painkiller is a functional shooter…

We hate to see it, but the news is now official. Rockstar has announced that GTA 6 will be delayed until the 19th of November, 2026. It didn’t feel like long ago that they had announced a delay to May of next year, but as it stands, we’ll have to wait another entire year to…

I personally enjoyed The Outer Worlds upon its launch in 2019, as it felt like a solid Obsidian Entertainment game that many had felt they had played before, yet was built off the best bits of previous RPG titles. Even so, it did combine a few interesting elements for an entirely functional, engaging and at…

Crash Bandicoot might have been resting his eyes in recent years, but I’m not sure we would have guessed this kind of return. According to a report from What’s On Netflix, Crash Bandicoot will be getting his own animated series on Netflix, although a release window is not yet known. WildBrain Studios, the same studio…

Ninja Gaiden, as a franchise, might have existed since the NES, but my first experience with it was on the original Xbox back in 2004. In fact, it was one of the first Xbox games I had played. That revival, while fantastic, might have been a little too taxing for a 10-year-old back then, but…

In this increasingly saturated market of gaming and mechanical keyboards alike, it becomes a little hard to pick which one might suit your needs best. Do you prefer clicky switches or softer linear ones? Do you need the numberpad on the side, or would you rather opt for a mini or 60% keyboard for more…

Halo Campaign Evolved has officially been revealed this weekend, serving as a full remake of the original game, launching on the Xbox Series X/S, PC, and, you guessed it, PlayStation 5 in 2026. This is a complete remake built with Unreal Engine 5, and will feature the original campaign, along with new missions, new weapons,…

It’s hard to believe that the original Super Mario Galaxy launched on the Nintendo Wii 18 years ago, but here we are, I guess. While Super Mario Galaxy 2 was released later in 2010, it’s fair to say that most of us who have owned a Nintendo console since then have played either or both…

I just want to preface this review by saying I’ve really enjoyed the Little Nightmares series so far. It’s unique, downright creepy and generally clever enough that it warrants checking out at least once. In many respects, Little Nightmares 3 is a decent follow-up in the sense that it’s making the most of its existing…

I’ve always been a fan of the Battlefield franchise and appreciate its more grounded approach compared to recent Call of Duty titles. But I unfortunately must admit that Battlefield 2042 didn’t hold my attention for very long. As a result of that game’s lacklustre critical and commercial success, the team at Battlefield Studios have decided…

I must admit, it’s pretty easy to find a mouse that suits your needs in this current market. Be it additional controls, customisable settings and various ergonomic elements, we’re spoilt for choice. But beyond all this variety, I’ve certainly noticed the prevalence of lightweight mice popping up in the market in recent years. So why…

I’ve always enjoyed the Hyrule Warriors games on the original Nintendo Switch, but I wish they ran a little better on the ageing hardware. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment marks the latest entry in the hack-and-slash series, building up to the events that take place in the incredible mainline sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of…

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond probably needs no introduction, given its long-awaited announcement and subsequent release, but here we are, with a build that was playable at PAX Aus 2025. The 15-minute demo was packed with a few things that laid down the overall tone and gameplay for what’s to come, complete with mouse controls on…

You might have heard the news already, but Xbox Game Pass has received another price increase. Now what’s the big deal here? Streaming services and subscriptions get increases all the time, and almost every year. Well in this case, it’s one of the steepest single price increases we’ve ever seen on a service such as…

When I play these titles year after year, I’m always asked the same type of questions. What could be so interesting about this new one? Isn’t it the same as last year? Don’t they slap a new name on it and send it out again? While some of these questions are warranted, the answers usually…

Ghost of Tsushima has certainly stood the test of time since its release, proving to be one of the most dense, engaging and gorgeous games of the last generation. So it wouldn’t really come as a shock to anyone when I say that Ghost of Yotei has some serious weight on its shoulders. In some…

The Xbox Tokyo Game Show has officially hit the ground running for 2025, with a list of announcements based around Japan, their influence and involvement in the world of gaming. While some announcements have brought new light to existing games, some announcements will certainly have people talking over the next few days. So let’s dive…

It’s the second State of Play stream this month for PlayStation, the first of which was focused solely on 007 First Light. This second stream however, showed of 35 minutes of new and upcoming games, from a wide range of first and third-party developers. Let’s dive in! Marvel’s Wolverine Saros Battlefield 6 Campaign Trailer Halloween…

PlayStation has announced yet another State of Play stream for September, the first of which focused solely on 007 First Light. This second stream, taking place tomorrow, the 25th of September, will run for 35 minutes and will cover a bunch of titles from a range of first and third-party developers. There are definitely some…
