It’s not easy to encase a dramatic narrative almost exclusively within the confines of a dark, tight space. Ryan Reynolds’ psychological thriller Buried certainly took a decent stab at it back in 2010, and now The Walking Dead has attempted a similar conceit, throwing Princess into an empty train carriage …

Dell’s G5 series of gaming laptops have been through many iterations, and we’re not entirely convinced by this one. On paper, it slots nicely into the market as a reasonably priced entry, providing decent all-round 1080p gaming performance with a broad selection of models with specs and prices to fit …

If you’re used to a multi-monitor desktop setup, downgrading to a single screen can be pretty painful – even if it’s one of the best gaming monitors. That’s doubly true if the step down involves moving from a full desktop to a small laptop screen. Enter, therefore, AOC and its …

Warning: This Star Trek: Discovery season 3, episode 13 review contains major spoilers – many of them set to stun. Boldly go further at your own risk… The no-win scenario is sacred in Star Trek. Ever since Spock came up with a heart-breaking solution to the Kobayashi Maru test in …
Read More »Cobra Kai season 3 review: “Powers through and delivers its best season yet”
Cobra Kai season 3 dares to be different. The first two series drew us in with love triangles, high school hijinks, and heartfelt callbacks to the Karate Kid movies. While much of that remains, it’s clear that Cobra Kai – now a Netflix original series – is more confident in …
Read More »ROG Strix Scope RX review: “A worthy successor to the original Strix Scope”
We loved the original ROG Strix Scope with its top-notch build quality and straightforward approach to gaming keyboard design. The new Scope RX, then, is simply a refinement of that; taking lessons learned from the first keyboard and adding in some funky new light-powered key switches, all for a reasonable …
