Well, that’s it. Game of Thrones is over after eight years, and I don’t blame you if Game of Thrones season 8 leaves a slightly bad taste in your mouth. While it has its good moments, most of this season is simply too rushed, with characters taking minutes to make …

Talk about a date with destiny. After 11 years and 21 movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, oh-so-carefully crafted for all of its seismic superhero smackdowns, enters its, well, endgame with Avengers: Endgame. Sure, there will be Marvel movies, and many of ’em, after this era-defining, three-hour event – and we …

I don’t envy anyone trying to break into the controller business, and that includes those behind the SteelSeries Stratus Duo.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the auditorium… along comes an earworm even deadlier than Everything is Awesome. Behold Catchy Song, which (repeatedly) insists: “This song’s gonna get stuck inside your heaaaaad…” Yes. Yes, it does. Question is, does the film follow suit?  If not …

Turtle Beach are one of the biggest players in the headset market, known as makers of quality cans. So, the Recon 200 will be under plenty of scrutiny. It pitches itself as an affordable, entry-level headset, that offers quality sound for gaming. It’s a neat headset that’s wired into your …
