Skate City: New York review - "The other kind of finger skateboard"Skateboarding was one of the defining activities of the '90s, and it created its own culture that spilled into little pools of subculture. Even all these years later, skateboarding perseveres with those trying to become the most extreme things on a board with wheels. Of course, not all of us have the gift of perfect balance but want a taste of the radical, so we turn to Agens and Snowman for Skate City: New York. Behold a 3D rendition of one of the most popular cities in the world as you glide through its streets on a skateboard without a care except trying to avoid kissing the pavement. It's another mobile way to be extreme, so let's see how it does. ... [ MORE ]

Honor Magic 7 Pro review - "Beauty on the outside, beast on the inside"Rugged edges, gunmetal blacks, and RGB lights on every available surface - with these kinds of aesthetics, it's not hard to spot a gamer-centric accessory from a mile away. But while other brands like Redmagic flaunt these neon-lit badges loud and proud, it seems like Honor is opting to go for a subtler approach, especially given the elegance of the Honor Magic 7 Pro. At first glance, it certainly doesn't look the part when it comes to long hours of world-saving quests and hardcore PvP battles that wage on well into the night. Does this alleged "most beautiful phone" have what it takes to be your next gaming go-to under the hood? ... [ MORE ]

A Kindling Forest Review - "An epic auto-runner with a twist"Forest spirits in the form of arrows, an ancient demon, and a risen skeletal hero await you in A Kindling Forest. From solo developer Dennis Berndtsson, this auto-runner roguelike features vivid environments and surprisingly challenging gameplay. The plot of A Kindling Forest is rather simple. Long ago, a great hero thwarted a terrible demon. Now the demon has returned, and the only one who can stop him is the now-deceased hero. Luckily, the forest spirits revived the now skeletal hero to stop the demon once and for all. The sparse narrative really works for the action-focused title, giving you enough purpose to go on without becoming distracting. ... [ MORE ]

Wavo POD Streamer Set review - "Easy set up and clean recording"When it comes to grabbing tech to get started with podcasting, streaming or any sort of content creation, it's incredibly hard to pick from the dozens of brands that are vying for your attention. To this end, Joby has created a podcast streaming kit in the form of the Wavo POD Streamer Kit, which includes a freestanding microphone as well as a desk-mountable arm to suspend it. As you're likely aware, our podcast is back up and running again. However, as you can also probably imagine, there are a couple of bits and bobs that need sorting in order to create a podcast: accounts, editing and equipment. I was, until recently, using a very capable (if decade-old) microphone, however, I have an incredibly noisy house and between fans, washing machines and loud pets, my old microphone was picking up an incredible amount of background noise. ...

Kawaii Kitchen review - "Casual cooking fun!"I am a huge fan of cooking games, especially Diner Dash and the like. I've spent a lot of my time playing them, so when I heard that Crunchyroll launched one called Kawaii Kitchen, which wouldn't have ads due to their subscription model, I was down for it! Kawaii Kitchen is pretty simple - you get orders and fulfil them. There is a timer for each day as well as timers until your customers get a little frustrated with you because you are going too slow. ... [ MORE ]

Dungeons of Dreadrock 2 review - “A satisfying puzzler that will occasionally drive you crazy”Back in ye olde days of 2022, I reviewed a little-known gem called Dungeons of Dreadrock, created by Christoph Minnameier. I am not the best at puzzlers, but I remember having an incredibly good time. So, when the sequel was announced, Dungeons of Dreadrock 2: The Dead King’s Secret, I was excited to continue my tricksy journey. Dead King’s Secret runs parallel to the story of the original, complete with cameos from the original’s protagonist and their brother, as well as a delightful split-screen moment with the two. Our hero this time around is the priestess who provided the bloodstone in the original and then follows her journey from there to claim the mysterious Crown of Wisdom. ... [ MORE ]

TOZO Golden X1 review - "Feels like luxury"You know when you get something and the packaging itself just drips luxury? Well, when I opened the magnetic box on the side of the packaging of the TOZO Golden X1, I knew I had something that wanted to be luxurious. The box itself was the first example of this. There is a breakdown of the components inside of the small earbuds printed on the side of the box, information all along it, and a big booklet inside a sleeve. It feels like you are getting your hands on a premium product. Impressive Look ... [ MORE ]

Universe For Sale review - "Absolute eye candy and memorable story, but with frustrating mobile controls"Advanced primate lifeforms, enlightenment by dismemberment, and universes in the palm of one's hand - it's hard not to get intrigued by the premise of Universe For Sale alone. Complement that with a gorgeous hand-drawn art style and it's sure to pique anyone's interest, which is exactly why I was all too keen to give this narrative adventure a go as soon as it came out on mobile. Despite me wanting to love it with every ounce of my being, a few hiccups here and there kept me from giving it top marks - and here's why. ... [ MORE ]
