Our Dependance On Online Services

Firstly lets address the elephant in the room (article), yes I recognise the content of this article is posted on an Internet hosted website, but i'm not concentrating on the internet as a whole, moreover the services that we use through the internet. So cast your minds back to simpler days, days when you would finish school and you would either bundle round to your mates house or they would drop on over to your's and you would gather round shoulder to shoulder around your small CRT TV in your bedroom to play the latest Sega Mega Drive game that just got released, be it Micro Machines, FIFA International Soccer, or my personal favourite for when my cousins came around... NHL Hockey. The hours you would put into a game in that way was astonishing, giving 'bants' to your mate right into h...

A Journey Of Headset Discovery – Which One Will You Choose?

So with all the talk surrounding 4k, HDR, Pixel count, something seems to have been under the radar for a while and that is your ears. Not yours specifically, but the stuff that goes into them...more precisely sound. There are so many different options out there and at massively differing price points its a scary world to decide what headset you want to buy with your hard-earned money. Then you have to decide which brand you are going to ally with, be it Astro's, Turtle Beach, Razer, Tritton, Senheisser or Sony (other brands are available). Once you have a rough idea of who you want to go with then you have to think about what can that headset do for you, be it surround sound in differing levels and qualities, then do you have a closed cup or open cup headset. As you can imagine the hea...

Thumb Wars 3: Game of the Year 2016

We battle to get our game crowned the Best of 2016 What a year it's been for gaming. So much so that we've dedicated a whole episode of our new podcast Thumb Wars to deciding just what the hell is the best game we've played all year round. We've cried, punched each other in our virtual faces (I mean, we record the cast over Skype so....it's difficult to physically punch Paul in the nose, sadly) and pulled the hair off our baying scalps trying to sort out this list and yet here we are, with a game chosen as the ultimate Game of the Year, according to Thumb Culture. Yes, I know you're awaiting with baited breath just what on earth it could be. Well wait no longer, friends. Press Play on that video above this written text that you're currently reading or you can subscribe to our pod...

The One Thing Stopping PSVR Being Truly Mass Market

It seems like it was Project Morpheus forever, but PSVR is right here, right now. Virtual Reality has come a hell of a long way since the days of those great big machines that could just about shunt around untextured polygons. PSVR, or virtual reality in general is in a bit of a precarious state despite how 'new' it all is right now. We've already heard how Rossko might already be done with the VR scene, but there is one thing that was a problem back when we had to endure the first attempts of VR and still is a problem today. And it could be the ruin of VR. That problem is motion sickness, or VR sickness. However you want to call it; It's a problem. Particularly for me as I actually have a phobia of being sick (emetophobia) which has stopped me doing a lot of things in my life. Tra...
