Turtle Beach’s Stealth 600 headset has underwent two generations of releases leading up to today. Their initial release featured channel mixing, some bass effects, decent battery life, and an impressive price point. Back in 2017, it was one of the best selling headsets of the PS4 and XB One generation because of how well it reinvented the headset space with surround sound quality. A few years late...[Read More]
Chumps Preview is a special kind of post where we unofficially preview games in Early Access, Beta, or are otherwise “unfinished.” This kind of preview is meant to be a first impression rather than a definitive review where we provide a rating to determine a game’s value. As such, we fully expect a game covered in a Chumps Preview to have room for improvement, some bugginess/incompleteness, and ot...[Read More]
Until recently, I’ve been primarily using medium-size keyboards, ranging from 75% (84-key) to 80% (87-key). The few full-sized keyboards I’ve used have been great for working, especially for inputting numbers into Excel and adding some additional buttons for casual games that didn’t require mouse input. The 65% and under keyboard territory has been largely foreign to me. I’ve been hesitant to test...[Read More]
It’s not often I see an entirely clear mechanical keyboard. Heck, clear cases for my devices and peripherals are far too rare these days, barring a handful of PC cases that cost an arm and a leg while looking amazing when equipped with equally expensive LED-adorned internals. I remember when my old Game Boys came in crystal-clear cases, giving me a glimpse into its techy insides. That clear aesthe...[Read More]
Logic games are often those that appeal to a very select group of players, with a small number having a cult following. A notable series is Ace Attorney, in which players took on the role of Phoenix Wright and used impressive amounts of deductive reasoning to solve court cases in overly dramatic fashions. Ace Attorney’s gameplay loop of multiple bouts of logic tests is supplemented by its story, k...[Read More]
It should be noted that mechanical keyboards aren’t just for office work, folks. If you’ve been following my mechanical keyboard reviews over the past few months, you’ll already know that mechanical gaming keyboards boast features that PC players are most concerned about. Thockiness, hot-swappability, and wireless connectivity might be of interest to some office workers, but PC players are concern...[Read More]
Over the past few years, I’ve used Logitech’s G502 HERO as my gaming mouse of choice. It had some heft, it had the appropriate amount of extra buttons, it had a simple LED (which I never bothered to adjust), and an excellent 25k DPI sensor. I’ve gone through two units because of how I’ve become so attached to its ergonomic design and how I could add some weight to it. Yes, dear reader, I’ve opted ...[Read More]

There is nothing wrong with an entry-level headset, especially for those wanting to level up their game to become slightly more competitive when playing first-person shooters. Things like footsteps and shooting sounds can give the player an indication of where danger is and where they need to go to stay alive. Or kill other players. Both are factually true. Regardless, not all players want or even...[Read More]

Check out the announcement for ALZARA Radiant Echoes! As a JRPG fan, I’m intrigued as to how the game will drive home the best bits of the genre! ========== Montpellier, May 14, 2024. Studio Camelia has officially announced ALZARA Radiant Echoes, a 3D turn-based JRPG inspired by beloved classics, with a soundtrack by composer Motoi Sakuraba (Dark Souls, Golden Sun) and main character designs...[Read More]
It’s incredibly rare when a sub-$100 keyboard excites me. This isn’t to say that budget mechanical keyboards are “bad” – not at all. It’s just that the lower-end of the mechanical keyboard price spectrum often includes a wealth of compromises, going anywhere from weird switches, questionable build quality, or a lack of customization that mechanical keyboard consumers often seek as they become more...[Read More]
