Lies of P is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most anticipated games of 2023 — and, well, with good reason: it seemingly shares much the same “DNA” as FromSoftware’s best titles. Many different studios tried their hand at creating a “Soulslike,” but none were able to replicate the full depth and allure which Hidetaka Miyazaki’s team brought to the table — across a multitude of different IPs, no less. We still don’t know how good a game Lies of P actually is, and this newly released demo, fun though it is, should by no means be…

There’s no shortage of incredible mini PCs in 2023 and, frankly, most of them are so darn powerful that they can, by all means, replace your existing rig for both gaming and any kind of productivity work. They come in a myriad of different shapes and sizes and their performance varies as well. The weakest ones are perfectly suitable for everyday tasks like browsing the web, typing out emails, filling out spreadsheets, and so on and so forth. The best ones? They can churn through God of War with maxed out settings at 1440p without breaking a sweat. In other…

Having the right peripherals for gaming is of the utmost importance. Well, assuming you’re serious about climbing the ranked ladder and stringing as many wins as you possibly can, that is. For those who don’t really care much for the accompanying “technicalities” of hardcore gaming, any kind of mouse will suffice. The really fervent and passionate crowd, however, is always on the lookout for a “spec’d-out,” top-of-the-line model that ticks as many boxes as possible. Extremely light gaming mice are all the rage these days, especially for competitive first-person shooters like Call of Duty, VALORANT, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, and…

ASUS ROG laptops are amongst the most popular on the market and, well, with good reason: they’re designed to deliver exceptional performance no matter the title and are, for the most, reasonably priced, too. They’re not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but are nonetheless quite competitive MSRP-wise when compared to their direct competition. Are they any good, though? Are they really worth the asking price or should you, instead, go with a Lenovo LEGION, HP OMEN, or a Razer Blade (amongst others)? That’s a very interesting question, especially given the overall state of the market. So many OEMs…

Razer laptops, one could argue, are the only ones on the market that combine jaw-dropping looks with astounding performance. They’re bona fide works of art, and are pretty much the only Windows laptops that can match Apple’s line-up in regards to craftsmanship and attention to detail. They’re striking, is what they are. And, well, they’re also devilishly expensive — way too expensive, one might add. The thing is, you can’t have it both ways; you can’t have such mind-blowing build quality and top-notch internals without tremendous spending. Moreover, Razer, as a company, isn’t nearly as large as, say, ASUS or…

Mechanical keyboards come in a myriad of different shapes and sizes, some of which happen to be more popular — and more appropriate for certain use-cases — than others. And, to make things even more complicated, all keyboard manufacturers are trying their absolute hardest to convince you, the buyer, that their option is, in fact, the best possible choice. It’s easy to understand how one can feel a bit overwhelmed, especially in today’s day and age where a new keyboard seems to be popping up on a weekly basis. Fortunately, once you strip away all the lingo and marketing hogwash,…

Steam, Battle.net, and Epic Games Store have a lot in common. They’re all digital video game storefronts for Microsoft Windows and macOS, but are nonetheless operated by entirely different companies. In some cases, like with Steam and Epic Games, there’s an overlap in regards to which games you can buy and, subsequently, play. They’re fairly similar in their functions but are nonetheless noticeably different when it comes to user experience, feature set, overall speed, and the way in which they affect your PC — they’re not all as well optimized or speedy as one would expect. They might look similar,…

We’ve all been talking about the successor to the Nintendo Switch for years and, fortunately, it seems that it’s right around the corner. Whether it’ll be released by the end of this year or, perhaps, sometime in 2024 is heavily up for debate, but one thing’s for certain: Nintendo needs to act, and it needs to act fast. The Nintendo Switch, wholly original and amazing though it is, simply isn’t all that alluring at this point in time. It’s horrendously underpowered and, as such, fails to keep up with both current-gen consoles and the many handheld gaming PCs that have…

No one seems to be interested all that much in DDR5 RAM — at least not for gaming. It has stabilized price-wise, but it’s still way too expensive for most people and, frankly, the performance benefits it provides aren’t nearly as game-changing as some companies would want you to believe. Here’s the thing: DDR5 can improve your frame rates, but it is by no means as tremendous a boost as one would hope for. It also depends on the game, too. In some titles, you can expect up to a 10/15% increase in performance. In others, it’s more like 5%.…

The ASUS ROG Ally has a metric ton of hype behind it and, well, naturally so — it’s arguably better than Valve’s Steam Deck in every possible way. It’s smaller, lighter, has a better screen, a more powerful APU, is running Windows 11, and will soon be available across the globe for, supposedly, $699. We’re talking about the 512GB SKU here, which will — if the rumors are to be believed — sell for just $50 more than Valve’s 512GB Steam Deck. That’s simply incredible, and if it really does end up being priced so aggressively, ASUS will no doubt…
