Review Information Platform reviewed: PS5 Available: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Release date: November 27, 2023  Gangs of Sherwood is a steampunk twist on the tale of Robin Hood that pits Robin and his grimdark Merry Men against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and his army of identical thugs, many of whom seem to go by the name Gerald. As a Robin Hood game, it shakes things up, too: It steals from the time-rich and gives only poor experiences.  Visually speaking, Gangs of Sherwood is a feast; the concept art in the loading screens and the design of every location is a fantastic twist on the classic tale. The steampunk style works brilliantly mashed together with the medieval setting, and wandering around the muddy and mechanic streets of Locksley while being bombarded by artillery is an unforgettable experience. You can navigate these places by yourself or in a group of four, with each player taking over the mantle of Robin of Locksley, Little John, Friar Tuck, or ...

iFi xDSD Gryphon: Two-minute review The iFi xDSD Gryphon represents a new area of flexibility for the company. iFi is one of the front-runners where audio products like this are concerned and has been for some time. This xDSD Gryphon wants to widen the operability and relevance of its DAC and headphone amp range by offering wireless, as well as wired, connectivity in a package small and light enough to be considered portable. And it’s only gone and pulled it off. The xDSD Gryphon ain’t cheap, but the way it performs justifies the outlay all day long.  Huge flexibility where connectivity and digital audio content is concerned, a completely confident and convincing sonic attitude, and a user interface that only just stops short of ‘impenetrable’ are what makes this iFi, the product it is. If you want something that’s capable of doing the audio business whether at home or in the wild, it’s almost a no-brainer.    ‘Almost’ because it’s not without competition from th...

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2023): Two-minute review (Image credit: Future) The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) is not going to revolutionize anything. However, it offers just about everything owners of the best TV s would expect from a streaming device nowadays, such as 4K video with both Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ HDR support, along with Dolby Atmos sound. Add in a very affordable price tag and I would consider it among the best streaming devices available right now. Of course, as with most things Amazon, the experience is a bit overly focused on what the company has to offer, so you might find yourself watching more Prime Video content than before. As I expect with most Amazon products, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) is feature-filled and comes with some onboard storage. There’s also plenty of free content available, so, unless you're looking for something very specific, this streaming device from Amazon is more than worth its asking price. In terms of design, the Am...

Munbyn IRT09: 30-second review The Munbyn IRT09J Rugged Windows tablet couldn't be anything other than tough, with its large screen surrounded by a rubberised plastic edge and all buttons and ports either sealed or sealable to ensure a water resistant design. Even the small fan is been water resistant although this doesn't mean it can be submerged under water. Installed with Windows 11 Pro, the tablet is fast and responsive, thriving on the work-focused platform. The large 12.2" screen is surprisingly easy to navigate. At the same time, the touchscreen isn't as sensitive as some tablets, which actually works in its favour for the intended market. Scrolling through spreadsheets and typing up reports is smooth and fluid, with a little configuration for the pop-up on-screen keyboard required initially to enable an easy workflow. The screen is incredibly well-balanced, and colour and contrast can all be adjusted through the Windows OS. When it comes to web browsing, t...

Munbyn IRT05 Pro: 30-second review Designed for professionals who work in challenging environments, the Munbyn IRT05 Pro rugged tablet sets itself apart as a reliable and durable computing device. Featuring a 10.1-inch, 700-nit display, it offers a good balance of brightness and contrast for outdoor use. The robustness of this tablet is evident in its design, which is capable of withstanding drops, water, and dust, thanks to its MIL-STD-810G and IP65 certifications. At its core, the IRT05 Pro is powered by the Intel Celeron(R) N5100 @ 1.10 1.11GHZ processor. We've tested out many of the best rugged tablets , and in our experience, this processor gives a good balance between processing performance and power consumption when running the preinstalled version of Windows 11 Pro. The large 10,000mAh battery is capable of providing up to 10 hours of usage and is quickly swapable if more running time is required between charges.  The tablet's connectivity options are well catered t...

AGM H6 rugged smartphone: 30-second review The AGM H6 Rugged Mobile Phone follows the usual tough design yet still manages to keep the overall look and feel of the smartphone slim and stylish. The rubberized plastic surround provides a decent grip, and the few buttons placed around the edge are a decent size and easy enough to find and use. Adding to the durability of this phone is the IP68 rating, which means it can be submerged underwater, making it a great solution for anyone needing a phone that can keep up with life outdoors. It's also built to MIL-STD-810H standards, ensuring that if you drop it under most normal conditions, the phone won't be affected. As you look over the phone, you'll also notice that rubber flaps cover all ports, and the back of the phone is textured to give a better overall grip to the device in any condition. There are also a few more interesting features, such as the three-card slot that enables you to add two SIM cards and a TF Card up to...
