AnkerWork B600 Video Bar Review

AnkerWork has been at it again. Their R&D department just seems to carry on endlessly seeing how far they can push their tech. Having reviewed the PowerConf C300 in the past, the B600 Video Bar is certainly the beefed-up bigger brother! AnkerWork B600 Video Bar - Beeeeeefcake! Touted as an "all in one" package, can this fulfill all your webcam and conferencing needs? Design The concept of the B600 is to have a peripheral that has everything you could ever want in a webcam. Rather than just a camera, maybe a mic, this unit comes in as a full-blown package, capable of being extremely versatile. Weighing in at a whopping 465g when compared to the C300's 130g, I was a little apprehensive at first due to my monitor bracket being wall mounted on drywall. Ok, the drywall is a coupl...

Not Tonight 2 Review

Not Tonight 2 is a narrative-driven document checking game from developer PanicBarn and publisher No More Robots. The game is a sequel to 2018s Not Tonight and was released on the 11th of February on Steam. The trailer immediately piqued my interest with its excellent pixel art mixed with oppressive dystopian themes. Can Eduardo's friends break him out of a Miami detention centre? Find out below in my Not Tonight 2 review. If you're not on the list, you aren't coming in! We start the game during a protest in Seattle. Suddenly a van draws up to the protesters and bundles one of them inside. This poor unfortunate is Eduardo, who ends up all the way across the country in a Miami detention centre. Fortunately, Eduardo has three loyal friends, Malik, Kevin and Mari, who embark on three separa...

Get Ready For Some Familiar Space Adventures! Indie point-and-click adventures have seen a tremendous boost in popularity in recent years, even with those new to the genre. And classic fans have found those elements that give them the adventure fuzzies come back with a bang.
