The Hyper X Origins 2 1800 (starting at $139. 99, frequently on sale for $99. 99) sits in that sweet spot between budget plug-and-play boards and the enthusiast custom keyboard rabbit hole. Our review unit arrived with Hyper X Red linear switches pre-installed, an 8000 Hz polling rate, and a semi-transparent housing that harks back to ’90s tech aesthetics. The …

The Blacklyte Athena Pro (starting at $499 USD, $719 CAD, $559 as tested for the Leatherette White) doesn’t reinvent anything. It executes the Secretlab Titan recipe with enough polish that it earns a seat at the same table. You get the tall bolsters, the 4 D armrests, the built-in lumbar knob, and the magnetic neck pillow, …

Beehive Studios’ debut creature collector gets the combat right and the world beautiful. If only it trusted the player with its story sooner. Editor’s Take Lumen Tale: Memories of Trey delivers one of the most tactically satisfying battle systems in the creature-collecting genre, wrapped in a gorgeous 2 D-meets-3 D world, but its insistence on withholding narrative payoff …

Realm of Ink does not hide its influences. Leap Studio’s action roguelite wears its Hades-shaped silhouette openly, from the brisk room-to-room combat flow to the way each run asks you to improvise around a growing pile of synergistic upgrades. That familiarity could have made it feel derivative. Instead, it mostly works in the game’s favor …

The Hyper X Cloud Stinger 3 Wireless doesn’t just iterate on its predecessor. It bulldozes every reasonable expectation for what a sub-$100 wireless gaming headset can deliver. Our review unit features 50mm dynamic drivers, dual wireless connectivity, and a claimed 80-hour battery life. The headset’s absurd stamina and stainless steel reinforced frame stand out, though the …

The strange thing about James Bond in games is that the fantasy always sounded easier to adapt than it actually was. On paper, the ingredients are obvious: espionage, gadgets, gunfights, luxury, deception, fast cars, and the constant threat of a mission collapsing at the worst possible second. In practice, most Bond games either leaned too …

Revenge of the Savage Planet is the rare sequel that benefits from not pretending it has outgrown its own identity. Raccoon Logic does not chase prestige, scale for its own sake, or the kind of self-serious reinvention that often flattens a distinctive original into something more generic. Instead, it returns to the same acidic mix …

Good-Feel’s latest Yoshi outing trades challenge for discovery and ends up delivering Nintendo’s most inventive platformer in years. The question is whether the industry knows how to celebrate a game like this. Editor’s Take Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a breathlessly imaginative platformer that replaces traditional challenge with systemic discovery, delivering a hand-crafted toybox …

Editor’s Take The LEGO APXGP Team Race Car (77252) looks like a movie tie-in, but it lands as one of the smartest value plays in the Speed Champions lineup thanks to its sharp black-and-gold livery, sturdy build, and two named minifigures.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream does not chase the soft, low-stakes comfort that defines many modern life sims. Instead, it leans into absurdity. It is loud, awkward, funny, and often completely unhinged. That choice works because Nintendo understands the appeal of this series: you are not building a peaceful retreat so much as managing a …

There was a time when Capcom felt comfortable taking expensive swings. Alongside defining hits like Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry, it also backed stranger, riskier work such as Killer7, P. N. 03, and Gregory Horror Show. Pragmata feels like a return to that older instinct. Rather than chasing another familiar blockbuster template, it builds a …

The HP 8 EB4 laptop, configured with Intel’s Core Ultra X9 388 H and integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics, lands in an awkward but useful middle ground. It is not a gaming laptop, and the benchmark data makes that plain within minutes. However, it is a surprisingly capable productivity machine with a strong PCMark 10 Extended score …

That’s not a small claim. Nintendo’s …

The full title tells you almost nothing. Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park sounds like a bullet-pointed press release stapled into a subtitle. But strip away the awkward naming and what you actually have is the definitive version of one of the best 2 D platformers Nintendo has ever made, now …

The Hyper X Cloud III S Wireless ($179. 99) is the headset Hyper X should have shipped from the start. It carries forward everything that made the Cloud III Wireless a strong performer, including its lightweight build, those angled 53mm dynamic drivers, and an impressive 120-hour battery life over 2. 4 GHz wireless, but it finally adds Bluetooth connectivity. That single …

Fallen Tear: Ascension blends Metroidvania exploration with JRPG mechanics and pulls it off more often than not. The genre mashup sounds like a recipe for either something special or a confused mess. Fortunately, it leans toward the former. But “promising” and “ready” are two very different things, and right now, Fallen Tear sits firmly in …

The Hyper X Cloud Alpha Wireless (starting at $199. 99, often found around $179) takes the beloved Cloud Alpha formula and cuts the cord without gutting the battery. Hyper X advertises up to 300 hours of wireless runtime, and our testing clocked in at a remarkable 327 hours and 27 minutes. That number alone earns a double-take. The …
