Plantronics RIG 500 Pro ESports Edition Review – Sounds Good?

We were recently lucky enough to get sent a set of these awesome headphones to review and what better way to review them than to use them across all devices, and across all media types. So without further ado, I present to you the Plantronics RIG 500 Pro ESport Edition! So taking them out of the box was straight forward, after mere seconds you are greeted with the beautiful metal exoskeleton of the RIG 500 and I was immediately surprised at how light the headset was. Weighing in at 323g it feels incredibly lightweight, weighing less than my Astro A40 headset. The dual material ear cushions felt great to the touch as well as the volume dial built into the headphone jack. So if you are connecting direct to your PS4 or Xbox controller you have the volume control right at your finger ...

2084 Early Access PC Preview – A Cyberpunk FPS

I was lucky enough to have an early access copy of 2084 from Feardemic which is currently available on Steam. I had not played their previous title The Padre but I was keen to see what the game had in store. It's a cyberpunk FPS with some interesting looking hacking mechanics that can be used throughout the game - but how different are they to what is already out there? Gameplay When loading 2084, you are only presented with a ‘New Game’ option. Upon starting the game, you are then brought to a tutorial where you are taught the controls and learn how to jump, shoot and throw grenades. One of the promoted aspects of the game is the hacking mechanics. The tutorial showed how to hack but it wasn't as straightforward as I expected it to be (but perhaps that’s the nature of hacking?...

Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye Review – Ice Ice Baby

Gaming mice come in all shapes and sizes along with a vast array of extra buttons bringing with them additional functionality. The burning question is however "Which mouse is best for you?" Having taken a look previously at the Roccat Kone Aimo Gaming Mouse earlier in Summer that featured 12 buttons and a mesmerising lighting job how would Roccat's latest gaming mouse fare? Ladies and Gents I give you the Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye, now available in white. Sitting infront of my PC screen the first thing that stands out is the illuminated colour changing Roccat logo located where your palm rests onto the mouse. The vibrant pulsing emblem stands out well against the white of the mouse and begins to get positive comments from staff walking by. The main job of the Kone Pure...
