Hardware Review: Nacon RIG 600 PRO HS Acid Camo Headset

Fun little fact about me for you all – I’m something of a collector of cowboy boots. Just a random thing that started a few years back. But it’s starting to look like I may end up becoming a collector of gaming headsets, because I’ve been sent yet another one for you to check out!

Review: Crown Wars: The Black Prince

Quick! Name a game that falls under the genre of “Tactical RPG.” While there are certainly quite a few out there, I’d be willing to bet that you probably named either the Fire Emblem franchise or one of the Final Fantasy Tactics games. If you’re more into the genre than most, you might have also

Review: Nacon RIG 600 PRO HS Headset

A while back, I wrote a review covering the rather excellent RIG 800 PRO HX gaming headset, and about the only negative thing I could come up with is it’s rather difficult-to-activate power button. With that being the worst thing about it, it sets my expectations high for their next-generation headsets. The 600 PRO has

It feels like we really have already passed the point wherein we should be getting dozens of deeply felt YouTube videos about what makes a good roguelite game, or else we already have been getting them and I just happen to have somehow missed them over the past several years. The thought was on my

Hardware Review: Nacon RIG Revolution X Controller

If you’re a regular here, you may remember the review we did a while back on Nacon’s Pro Compact controller for Xbox systems and Windows 10/11, and what we have here today can fairly be described as its big brother: the Revolution X. Billed as “competition grade,” it does pack in some additional features and

Hardware Review: RIG Pro Compact Controller

I’ll be honest. My first gaming device was a computer – the Commodore 64. I laid my hands on it barely after I learned to walk. Despite being a big Nintendo fan and getting the original NES for Christmas when I was six, I’ve actually played more games using a keyboard (and mouse later) than
