Honor Magic V3 review - "A record-breaking leader in the battle of the foldables"I'd hate to sound like an oldie armed with a "back in my day" quip readily aimed at passers-by at a moment's notice, but back in my day, you would've been ridiculed for imagining a phone screen that you could actually fold in half. I never thought I'd see the day when the mobile phone market would no longer be a battle for pocket-sized supremacy. It's all about the battle of the foldables now - and Honor might just be at the forefront of it all. ... [ MORE ]

Auto Catch ND - "Go Plus + without the buzz"It isn't a secret that I play Pokemon Go every single day. It's a location-based game, where you need to move around the world to collect more Pokemon and spin stops for items. With that in mind, when you're driving around or doing your shopping, you could be catching Pokemon if you had your phone open. As a way to play the game more casually, in an idle fashion, The Pokemon Company released the Pokemon GO +, which is an official auto catcher that can be connected to Pokemon Go so that you can catch without even having the game open. With this have come unofficial devices, like the Auto Catch ND, which is what we are going to be looking at today. ... [ MORE ]

HTC U24 Pro review - "Mid Range Fun"When it comes to mid-range Android phones, we always have a few knocking about the house. Upon first look, the HTC U24 Pro is affordable, slim, and sleek-looking. It's not a gamer-specific phone with additional gaming features, but it's a phone well worth looking at for everyday use. I am going to be looking at this phone in terms of use for casual gaming as well as everyday mobile phone duties. The Phone Itself ... [ MORE ]

Ouros review - "Satisfying puzzler, but not for the faint of heart"I adore puzzle games, and whenever I get the chance to try a new one, especially a minimalistic one, I jump at the idea. Such was the case with Ouros, and I cannot say I was disappointed. Today I will tell you all about my experience playing Ouros, so hopefully, this Ouros review will help you make up your mind in case you had any doubts about giving the game a go. ... [ MORE ]

Drop Troop review - "Run, kill or... die. Alien ver."I am a diehard fan of pixel games, but when I say diehard, I don't mean... literally. Die. Hard. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I did in Drop Troop, until I got the hang of it. Oh boy, and once I did, I died some more, but I made sure to take a lot of aliens with me. Whenever I play a roguelite (or even roguelike) game, I have a very strict mentality: kill a lot, die a lot, and see what it gets me. Well, that's the story I am going to tell you in today's Drop Troop review. It's one that involves love, death, and tears. Tears shed by me, when I was 2 seconds away from being picked up, of course. ... [ MORE ]

Darkside Detective review - “With cops like these, who needs criminals?”In the dark recesses of the night, in a place imperceptible to the fragile human mind, dark horrors lurk and scratch at the walls of reality. They wait for us to let our guard down before they come shrieking in to destroy us and everyone we love. But you’re not bothered about that sort of paranormal nonsense, at least not at this point in your shift. You’ve got paperwork to file, the old folks home is being haunted by an inverse vampire, there’s a monster ‘terrorising’ the campground and your loveable idiot of a partner has misplaced the gremlin-filled magical urn you confiscated from an occult shop yesterday. ...

Redmagic 9S Pro review - "Great for games, not for selfies"I've been offered an opportunity to review a gaming phone, specifically the Redmagic 9S Pro, so I thought I could put it side by side with my current gaming phone and give you an insight into the fact that a gaming phone doesn't have to break your budget to deliver. Below you can find out why this phone has impressed me so much, so if you came for a complete Redmagic 9S Pro review, here you have it! I thought I should go with a title that sounds like it's been ripped right out of a movie - but with a twist. That's exactly how my view of this device is, because while it is great, it has some features that leave room for improvement. I'm going to go through every single one of them so you can make an educated choice. ... [ MORE ]

Legend of the Skyfish 2 review - "Another epic quest to stop Skyfish!"Can something considered an animal ever be truly evil without some kind of human influence? That's a pretty big question to flop onto the table, much like the dastardly Skyfish from Legend of the Skyfish and now Legend of the Skyfish 2. Mother Gaia Studio is determined to make us associate the image of a fish in the sky with absolute terror. I mean, the thing is kind of an eyesore, that's why this 2D hack-and-slash puzzle adventure is giving us the chance to smack it back down into the water - what we need to know is if this sequel gives us enough to make us think that it will stay down this time. ...

Spooky Pixel Hero review - “More platforming, less heebie-jeebies”Spooky Pixel Hero is the latest instalment in the DERE horror series of AppSir Games, coming out for iOS and Android devices on August 12th. The game is also set for a Steam release, but fans must wait until September 17th. Having finished DERE Vengeance within a few days of release, I was on the lookout for AppSir’s next horror platformer and I just couldn’t pass on the opportunity of a pre-release sneak peek at Spooky Pixel Hero. ...

Antstream review - "Retro gaming on modern tech"If you ever have some twisted desire to feel old, just look up what's considered retro in the gaming community because the answer is most of it. We've come a long way since games were as simple as hooking up a box to another box and yet we still try to revisit those days with retro game shops and services like Antstream. In the age of digital convenience, Antstream has arrived to offer you opportunities to stream a certain number of classic games from consoles ranging from the SNK to arcade machines. But what matters is the pricing, the selection, and ultimately, how these games run on technology they never expected to see. ... [ MORE ]
