Sometimes remastered games can be the hardest games to review. When a game was being upscaled from PS1 to PS3, it was a lot easier as that period of time saw massive advancement in games both graphically and gameplay wise. But when you take a game from the late PS4 life and remaster it for PS5, the changes aren’t quite as stark. Still, I gave it a go with the newest PS5 remaster, Days Gone Remastered, jamming it on a PS5 Pro. https://youtu.be/RjRLSZalxgs If you haven’t played Days Gone before, it tells the story of the ex-bikie Deacon in Oregon…

I have been loving Lorcana since it came Down Under to Aotearoa and Australia. The simplified gameplay has been getting more complex, but for the last couple of sets there wasn’t a lot of innovation. Don’t get me wrong, they were loaded with fun characters, art, and cards, but I wanted to see something new. Well, Archazia’s Island has brought heaps of new things. What is Jafar doing Reigning? Our heroes have been doing their thing on Archazia’s Island, which is all well and good, except Jafar has taken our distraction to get up to some shenanigans. He has managed…
There are heaps of Bluetooth speakers available these days, from tiny little speakers that fit in your pocket to big beasts designed for massive meeting rooms. So how do you choose which one to get? Well, the biggest question is, what do you need it for? Well, if you want to be able to enjoy some sounds on the go, from a barbeque to the beach to camping, the JBL Flip 7 is making a solid argument that it should be on the top of your list. It’s bouncy! https://youtu.be/byyCZd0EWnI OK, well, not bouncy as such, but it’s drop-proof for…
There are so many gaming headsets to choose from these days. From a cheapie at under $100 to elite headsets at around $900, you can spend as much money as you want. Well, at $330, the new Logitech G522, Lightspeed Wireless Gaming does ask some serious questions on why you would spend more than that. There are a few things that I look for in a headset to make it top tier. These are comfort, battery life, and sound quality. Playing with the G522 I have to say it’s ticking all those boxes. Comfort and style! The headset uses some…
We have had many excellent Indiana Jones games over the years. From the Tomb Raider series to the Uncharted series, they all oozed Indiana Jones excellence. Well, now we have an actual Indiana Jones game, and I was expecting more of these style games. Instead I was given a first-person adventure game, and I was pleasantly delighted. https://youtu.be/sq97d1RkdRM Indiana Jones is living his usual life as an archaeologist in the 30s. This is thrown into disarray when a big, terrifying man called Locus breaks in and steals a cat mummy. Indiana follows clues that take him to the Vatican, and…
After the insane success of Skyrim, and its port to what feels like 60 platforms, people have been chomping at the bit for Elder Scrolls VI. Well, Elder Scrolls has its new release, and while it isn’t Elder Scrolls VI, it also isn’t the 61st release of Skyrim. Instead it’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which is the remaster I had no idea I was needing. Straight out of the gate, I am going to say this is the best example of a remaster I have ever seen. The graphical overhaul here is insane, but it is much more…
Having been into MTG for a year and a half, I don’t have the long history people have. With the gimmicky sets, these have been normal for Magic for me, but when Bloomburrow dropped, I quickly discovered the brilliance that is Magic originality. Well, Tarkir is many people’s favourite plane, and having played with the set now, I understand why! Bring on Tarkir: Dragonstorm! So what is Tarkir, and what is a dragonstorm? https://youtu.be/WS19FrasbS0 At the end of the Aetherdrift story, we discovered a dragonstorm had occurred on Avishkar, where dragons come out of the sky. Elspeth has now followed…
I have been loving using smart lights around the house lately. From increasing and decreasing the light with a voice command or app to changing the colours to fit the vibes of the movie you are watching. It’s a little thing, but I have been loving it. So when I got the chance to take those fun features with me, I was so in! So what even is a WiZ Mobile Portable Light? Good question; it would be handy if someone would write a review about it. Oh, that’s my job. Well, let me tell you. The WiZ Mobile Portable…
