Besiege review - "Building battering rams for a better tomorrow!"Whenever it comes to battle scenes in medieval films, chances are there's going to be a siege of some place, usually a castle. Now, while siege technology wasn't the most complex or fancy, it got the job done, and sometimes all you need is a big log with enough force to open a door. But here's the thing about wood: It's dynamic. There are so many ways you could arrange wood to make all kinds of destructive devices, and now's your chance. With the combined efforts of Spiderling Studios and Playdigious, you can become the wood engineer of the century in Besige. You've got a 3D construction tool to help you lay waste to various structures, so let's see how it works out. ... [ MORE ]

Maono PD200W microphone review - "A versatile all-rounder with an attractive price tag"It seems that nowadays everyone has a podcast. I mean, I can’t talk, given that we host the Pocket Gamer Podcast right here on the site. But if you want to get into recording yourself, where do you start? Trick question, because a good audio setup is essential. No one wants to listen to something that sounds like it was recorded via copper wire. With that in mind, one of the more recent opportunities to cross our desks was the Maono PD200W. Billed as a microphone for mobile podcasts, it can also do more than that. So I was curious to find how it would work for someone who does have to podcast for work, but would be using it for recreation too. ... [ MORE ]

Tessan Voyager 205 travel adapter review - "Universal all-in-one charging - if you can get the outlet to fit"I'm not the most globetrotting gal in the world, but I do like to lug around my gaming paraphernalia to the detriment of my aching shoulders (and my always-heavy, always-full bag). It doesn't help that every new thingamajig nowadays has to have its own set of cables and chargers, so when something comes along and boasts 2-in-1, 3-in-1, and 4-in-1 utility, my interest is always piqued. The Tessan Voyager 205 travel adapter seems to want to challenge all other x-in-1s by slamming its very own 8-in-1 charger on the table like a gauntlet - and it really can, given just how solid and hefty this thing is. ...

X Rocker Sparta RGB gaming chair review - "A comfy chair that also has lights... yay?"Not to blow open a massive, long-standing conspiracy or anything, but everyone at Pocket Gamer works from home. When Iwan (as he likes to do) mentions PG Towers, he's very much referring to a virtual structure where the lobby, water cooler, and break room with an unshiftable smell of coffee are all on Slack. And while I'm giving away deeply confidential company secrets, we don't all work in the same country either. I know, it's shocking, but that's the modern world. Working remotely is a big thing nowadays, and for introverts like me, it's wonderful. However, there is one conundrum that every home worker faces. The chair. ... [ MORE ]

Soul Hunter review - "Idle action with lots of places to explore"Soul Hunter is a roguelite RPG, where you can hack and slash your way through enemies, going deeper and deeper into the unknown. There are boss fights, souls to gather, upgrades, items to loot, and a lot of exploring. Soul Hunter is a clicker-style game, where you tap to explore and go deeper into the world. Each time you explore, something happens. Often, it's a small bit of text that tells you about damage you might have had, some items that might have been looted, or something that you might have discovered - but sometimes, it's an ambush! ...

Gunnar Borderlands 4 Moxxi Glasses review - "Cyberpunk fun"Gunnar is known for their fantastic, high-quality blue light glasses, which are aimed at enabling you to play for longer. Lights from mobile screens (and, well, any screen) can cause eye strain, which can in turn cause headaches. Gunnar has a large range of glasses that cover a bunch of styles from office-ready wear to ones inspired by video games. I personally feel their Gunnar Borderlands 4 Moxxi glasses are the most stylish I have seen from them. ... [ MORE ]

iWALK Mini Portable Charger review - "Small but cute charger"I play a lot of Pokemon Go, which is a demanding game on battery life! In this day and age, having a phone that's got a good battery life or a battery pack to keep things working is really important. I often find myself carrying around a battery pack so that I can keep playing longer. The iWalk Mini Portable Charger is a smaller battery pack that sort of connects directly to the bottom of your phone, not needing a wire and providing a boost of battery life. ... [ MORE ]
