BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II) Review

For a while I've always wondered what it would be like to have one of those electronic writing tablets. One where you no longer need to have a notepad to keep track of jobs to get done. Where you can keep different amounts of notes all together in one harmonious place. Well, the Boox Go 10.3 Gen II dropped through the post; was it serendipitous? Nah the PR got in touch and asked us if we wanted to check this one out. Getting it out of the Boox Coming in two different flavours, one with a backlight and one without a backlight. We were lucky enough to get hold of the one with the backlight and I will say straight away, the screen was great. Let's find out what else this little device can offer you. Design Features Being thin and lightweight, this sunlight-readable notebook can fit easily...

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush – Switch 2 Review

If you were a fan of previous Hot Wheels games, then you will be very well relieved to know that Milestone have returned with a great addition. Hot Wheels Infinite Rush gives the little toys a chance to return into more of an open world. Racing around, causing chaos is the key action, in a world that is immediately familiar to those with small children. Releasing across all formats, we got thrown a Switch 2 key to get stuck into, and it was great to have high octane racing on the small screen. Hotter than Hot Wheels Featuring some iconic cars Hot Wheels Infinite Rush will give both a nostalgic feel as you play, whilst giving you thrills of super fast racing. Let's dive in to see how its separating itself from other open world racers. Gameplay The first thing that you'll love about Hot ...

TX3 Core 360 Gaming Chair Review

Firstly, that image above is not the TC HQ; we wish we operated from a lavish room like that. One of cleanliness and comfort, not one of chaos and creativity. Now, don't get me wrong, we have the grey chair and have been parking our butts on it for a few weeks now. So, it's time for us to bring you our verdict on the TX3 Core 360 chair. Hold on to your armrests; this is a good one. Comfort above Charm Don't get fooled by the above quip; the TX3 Core 360 is a gorgeous-looking chair, or at least I think so. It is, however, a bit bulky, but with that bulk you get a lot, and I mean a lot of life-improving features. Let's dive into the finer details. Design Features Being available in a whole host of materials and colours, we were provided with the Loft variant in the light grey colourway. ...

Razer Kiyo V2 Review

If you are either a content creator, or you just like to have the best webcam in your company meetings. Then you might want to pick up the Razer Kiyo V2. Coming in either white, black, or even the gorgeous quartz colourway. Costing an RRP of £149.99, although at the time of writing it was on sale for £109.99 on the Razer website. This webcam makes some pretty big claims, and a couple of them may not align with ours. No Pink Tax Here As with more Razer products, you know you are going to get a lot of bells and whistles. This is what generally makes them slightly more expensive than other competing products within a specific market. Let's take a bit of time and have a look at some of those features. Design Features The most standout feature that the Kiyo V2 has is the 4K image at 30FPS, ...

What does this new power bank bring to the market? We'll obviously find out!

Paw Patrol: Dino World – PC Review

If you've never heard of Paw Patrol then you really have been living under a rock. We previously covered Paw Patrol World a couple of years ago, and even though the TC Mini Crew has maybe outgrown Paw Patrol, I haven't. So when the opportunity to cover the newest game, Paw Patrol Dino World, came up. I jumped at the opportunity. No Dino's Too Big, No Pup's Too Small Having been out for a little while and to mixed reviews, I was a little apprehensive. I put all that aside and dove in, looking forward to controlling my favourite pup, Rocky. What fun and frolics would those lovable pups get up to? Gameplay Mayor Humdinger has headed to Dino Island to cause trouble, and it's up to the pups to help the dinosaurs. It all sounds like an incredibly simple premise, and to be honest, the gamepla...

They've dropped what might become the next must-buy farming sim peripheral: the Moza FCS Farming Control System. Retailing at £179, this piece of kit brings some nice bits of technology to your game. Is it worth it though? I mean, that surely will depend on what you play. Immersive Farming Without The Manure If you play one of the compatible games, then honestly this review is definitely for you. We can still go through some of the features and help you decide whether to press that add to cart button. Design Features The first thing to know about the Moza FCS is that straight out of the box, it is compatible with a number of games. However, Farming Sim 25 is the only one that is advertised a...

Shuffle Wallet 2.0 Review

Time for something different here at TC, yes, it's a wallet. Not just any wallet, though: the Shuffle Wallet 2.0. Featuring upgrades from the original version, this wallet aims to look after your money, whether you misplace the wallet or from miscreants out there. So what is the Shuffle Wallet 2.0? Shall we dive in and take a look? Design Features The first thing that you will notice about the wallet is the weight. You might not think that 150g is a lot, but when you feel the sturdy construction, you know that this is a great product. Only 14.5mm thin it allows you to keep it close, although I do prefer to have my usual wallet in my pocket so that I can feel it. I found myself doing the pocket checks a number of times while I was using the Shuffle Wallet. One of the biggest featur...
