Steelseries 9H Headset Review
Introduction As the top tier of SteelSeries' H-series, the 9H needed to make more of an impression after our tepid response to the 5HV3. Advertised as being a “premium tournament gaming headset”, SteelSeries can certainly talk big. Thankfully, it wasn't an empty promise as the SteelSeries 9H is a…

Back in 2002, Final Fantasy X came out to showcase the power of the PS2's emotion engine. While considered primitive now, it was ground-breaking stuff at the time, and because of that it not holds a special place in the collective JRPG memory. Twelve years later, both Square-Enix and fans…
Why Can’t We Learn To Love?
Love isn't something I find translates well into the world of gaming, yet we see it all the time. Very rarely do we play something that doesn't have a crudely shoe-horned love interest, someone we are meant to give a damn about when they either get kidnapped or killed off.…

Thief Review
It would be easy to describe Thief by what it isn't, rather than what it is. It isn't Dishonored, it isn't a direct sequel to the rest of the Thief series, and it isn't that great. That isn't a fair way of reviewing something however, and I don't want to…
