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 ]

Santa Jack Skellington Cable Guys review - "Large and well themed"Cable Guys are known for their fantastic phone and controller stands, of which they cover a bunch of different, well-known IPs. Their Nightmare Before Christmas collection has quite a few different characters, with the current one we are looking at being Santa Jack Skellington - not just Jack Skellington but the Santa version of him, complete with his dog, Zero. This is one of the Cable Guys full-sized stands, which can hold controllers or cell phones with ease. They fit in the massive hands of Jack, held out in front of his thin, skeletal body. The details on this stand are fantastic - from the little change in colour of the Santa beard to the fence around the base, making it feel like he's sitting in his own little world. ... [ MORE ]

Gunnar Mammoth Glasses review - "Larger glasses for computer use"Gunnar is well known for their premium gaming glasses, which are made to help reduce blue light, so that people who spend time in front of screens don't encounter eye-strain easily. The Mammoth computer glasses are a new addition to their lineup as a part of the King Collection, which is designed to be a wider dimension for those who want a bigger statement piece. The Gunnar Mammoth glasses have rectangular, wide frames that are completely black. It looks like a classic pair of glasses that could go well with any outfit really, from office wear to just casually wearing out and about. They are understated, without any nods to gaming series like other pairs of Gunnar glasses, which makes them more office-friendly. ... [ MORE ]

Krafted Couch charger review - "Great way to charge!"I often find myself on my living room couch, hanging out and watching TV. I have a whole charging setup in my living room, which includes a cable behind the couch that I use to charge my mobile phone from. This cable often gets stuck in the couch or otherwise lost, which is a very silly problem to have, but I didn't realise there was actually a charger specifically to fix this! The Krafted Couch Charger is one that sort of flops over the side of the couch, so that you can use your armrest as a charging station. Krafted Couch Charger comes in a few colours: Matcha, Latte and Deep Blue, which are all quite fun. The charger itself is on the bigger side, so it's good to have colour options. The charging station comes in two parts: an insert which can be used outside the topper, if you'd just like a pinpoint wireless charging stand, and the topper. The topper is made of a soft, bendable silicone. The back of this has a sturdy compartment that you sort of snap the charger in, then a bunch of little grips that you can place the wire behind, which feels very well thought out. ... [ MORE ]

So, when I got the opportunity to test out the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro, I jumped at the chance. This latest model in the Vader series promises a long-lasting battery and mappable bonus buttons. Unboxing the Flydigi Vader Pro 5 ... [ MORE ]

Sengodai review - "Fantastic theming and aesthetics, but I wish it had a tad more depth"Japanese themes and roguelike card battlers are two of my favourite things, which is why when the opportunity to review Sengodai landed on my lap, I couldn't be more excited. It's got cursed lands, epic gods, and nasty little gokai presented in colourful card decks - it has, essentially, everything I could ever want in a handy mobile package. I was pretty sure it would deliver despite my very, very high expectations - but as you can probably tell from my less-than-5-star score, it didn't exactly fulfil my wildest dreams. ... [ MORE ]

Sliding Sonic Cable Guy Holdems Mini review - "Gotta Go Fast!"Cable Guys have holdems for basically any IP that you'd be interested in, with Sonic the Hedgehog being a new addition to their line up. This series has four characters, all from Sonic the Hedgehog, and we got our hands on the classic. Though he doesn't come wit a big gold ring to hold, you can place your earbuds or even your entire phone into the character's hands! I don't find that my larger phone fits well into the mini holdems, as they are often smaller and made for smaller devices, so pick earbuds in their little carrying case. ... [ MORE ]

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 ]

Islanders: Mobile review - " A satisfying low-key strategy experience"Indie city manager Islanders has officially launched on mobile. Like the PC version, in Islanders: Mobile, you’ll build civilisations on a plethora of vibrant isles, all without the restraints of typical resource management. Enjoy a calming musical score that enhances the Zen-like experience as you carefully craft your island paradise. It’s a cosy strategy experience meant to be relaxing rather than mentally taxing, and boy, does it deliver on that front. ... [ MORE ]
