When I jammed WWE 2K22 last year, it was the first wrestling game I had played in a long time. What I remembered was the games were clunky and generally annoying to play. Well, the WWE games have come a long way with a totally different play style to the OG days. Going into AEW: Fight Forever I wasn’t sure what to expect and to be honest, I should have expected what I got. AEW to the core https://youtu.be/bBvfaDQ1SdQ As with most old people, I dream of the WWE Attitude Era. It was peak WWE and over the last 10…

The hours following the team knockout are always the hardest. With it fresh in your mind it can be hard to take a step back. The reason we lash out is because we care, but because we care we should try not to lash out. To be totally honest, I am so damn proud of the Football Ferns and what they achieved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA8FYk4_5A8 Going into the tournament I was hoping for one win and one draw If I am being totally honest, going into the tournament I was hoping for 1 win over The Philippines, and if we got lucky…

Everybody’s Golf VR on the original PSVR made it clear that VR golf is way more fun than real golf, but it was just a touch too serious. I want to hit golf balls at a hole, not worry about the wind.

Fortunately Walkabout Mini Golf is here on PSVR2 to bring you the chaos of mini golf, frustration and all. So easy to control https://youtu.be/SULUgn3pja8 I chose the word control here very specifically. The…

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order was an absolute banger. I know I liked it more than many, but it was a damn fun adventure that took inspiration from many other games and genres, mashing it into a wicked, third person action adventure game. With that difficulty cranked down, you felt like a Jedi, and so I have been chomping at the bit to get my teeth stuck into another Star Wars Jedi game. Bring on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. https://youtu.be/bmj3ty-Wt48 The game kicks off about five years after Fallen Order, where we join our friend, Cal Kestis, in custody. A…

The PSVR struggled to get that one game that cemented the need to buy it for a long time. There were heaps of hits like Moss, but it didn’t make the additional hardware a must buy. Well it didn’t until the one of the greatest VR games got ported across. That greatest game was Beat Saber, and now on PSVR, it is even better. For anyone that hasn’t played it, Beat Saber is the best possible kind of rhythm game. You are equipped with two coloured lightsabers, and you need to slice boxes that come towards you to the rhythm…

I have been playing around a lot with the Ring Battery Doorbells recently and loving them. So, given the chance to test out extending my surveillance to indoors, I was curious. With the Ring Indoor Camera coming in at $100 AUD, this price seemed too good to be true. Only one way to find out right? Out of the box through to set up One of the things I have been impressed with the Ring suite for is the easy setup. Like with the battery doorbells, the process is so silky smooth. Pulling it out, plugging it in, and then…
