Status Audio Pro X review - "Great sound quality and noise cancelling"Now, I have been reviewing and testing a variety of earbuds for quite some time. I have my favourite pair, which have gone with me everywhere, and I have yet to find a pair that has topped them. But I do think the Status Audio Pro X is a contender, just on sound quality alone. Let's start with the case and looks of the Status Audio Pro X. The case itself is simple - it's on the flatter side, with a USB-C insert to charge it. There is a small light bar in the middle of the front that lights up to give you a visual clue on whether you need to charge your earbuds. The magnetic snap is good. Each of the earbuds snaps in well. There is a strange QR code on the top of the inside of the case, which leads nowhere on my phone... in any case, it's just a very sleek and durable-feeling case. ... [ MORE ]

Boox Note Max review - "Top-notch productivity and gaming without the eye strain"Whether it's simply because of the inevitable passing of time or the years of playing games into the wee hours of the night, my eyesight just isn't what it used to be - and that's coming from someone who's already had fancy laser eye surgery after suffering from severe nearsightedness (or high myopia, if you want to be fancy about it) since kindergarten. So I suppose it comes as no surprise that I'm always trying to look for ways to give my often neglected eyes some well-deserved TLC, but even with that, I'm a total latecomer to the world of e-ink devices. If it hadn't been for the Boox Palma 2, I never would've known what it's like to give my eyes a break - and with the Boox Note Max this time around, that's never been more evident. ... [ MORE ]

Gunnar Cruz, Spider-Man Miles Morales Edition glasses review - "Made for teens, but oddly perfect for me"I suppose if there's one thing the start of a new year always comes with, it's the compulsion to make resolutions. We somehow always believe that this year is the year we can finally stick to them, and while I'm always cautiously optimistic about 365-day promises, taking better care of my eyes really is something I'd like to commit to. And while it's always daunting to have to keep things up for a full year and beyond (let me get back to you on how I'm doing in January next year), I guess I have to start somewhere - and Gunnar is a fantastic place to do that. ...

Fangs Breaker review - "A familiar-feeling twist"If you're a fan of arcade classics, then Fangs Breaker will feel like a breath of fresh air with a bunch of classic concepts. It's sort of like Pong, but also like Break Out, with a twist of neon colours and vampires too! In Fangs Breaker, you are playing a totem that's very much like a Pong paddle. However, your character automatically moves towards the ball (or bulb of garlic) when it bounces towards the left-hand side of the screen. ... [ MORE ]

Cult of the Lamb review - "Pocket-sized cults!"I gotta say, even before Cult of the Lamb brought itself to mobile, I already loved it on PC. I enjoyed it so much that I included it in my book, The Best Life Adventure Games. With that in mind, I wanted to see if it could hold up to mobile phones, with their smaller screens and limited buttons. For those who have not played the PC or console version, Cult of the Lamb is a sort of run-based, cult management sim that is split into two parts: looking after your cult and going into dungeons so that you can fight off a bunch of enemies and picking paths to follow towards mini-bosses or large bosses. ...

Gunnar Roswell Alienware Glasses review - "Futuristic statement piece"Gunnar, the blue-light glasses company, has come together with Alienware to create a new collection of gaming accessories. If you aren't familiar with Gunnar glasses, they are these computer-focused glasses that block out harmful blue light, allowing gamers to play on their screens for longer. Alienware, on the other hand, is a computer brand that specialises in high-performance gaming laptops and accessories. They are known for their futuristic designs and alien face logo! ... [ MORE ]

Trickshot Corncob Game review - "Lots of throwing!"Big Potato Games are known for releasing a bunch of fun, party-centred tabletop games, though they have dabbled in puzzles and video games as well! This time, they've combined a mobile app with a physical item to create something that feels super fun for a party! Their app is called Chicken vs Hotdog: Trickshot, which was the first of these types of games, but we used it with their Trickshot Corncob Game physical item, which is a giant ear of corn. ...

Monument Valley 3: The Garden of Life review - "More puzzles, interesting story"Back when I reviewed Monument Valley 3, I was interested in the missing chapters, as it ended the story in a way that it would clearly continue. Now that the puzzler has launched on Android, for those who have played it on Apple devices, there is new content as well. Monument Valley 3: The Garden of Life is an update that completes the whole thing, where you can now play the rest of the story along with optional side puzzles for a bit more fun. ... [ MORE ]

The Macabre Journey review - "A charmingly dark adventure"Go on a gothic adventure in The Macabre Journey, a new mobile adventure from indie developer Bio99. You play as Victor, a man searching for his love, Elenor, after she disappears. At first, there’s nothing too odd about Elenor’s disappearance. However, every soul you meet speaks in riddles that suggest there is far more to the story. ... [ MORE ]

The Grinch Plush Wireless Headphones review - "They sure are comfortable"I feel like I've seen more and more of these plush headsets over the last few years, particularly with children and with adults who accessorise with bright and vibrant things. The Grinch seems to be super hot this year, so it makes sense that The Grinch Plush Wireless Headphones are a thing that you can purchase, too. The headset itself is bright green, completely covered in fluff, and has two of the Grinch's heads looking out on either side. It's soft, I'll give you that. I do like the eyebrow details on The Grinch, where his eyebrows are made with slightly different, longer fur, so they stick out. It's silly, but that's the whole point of these. ... [ MORE ]
