SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds: Two-minute review The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds might be the best gaming earbuds I’ve ever tested. As an overall package they deliver on every front; from battery life to audio quality, to comfort and fit, to features. They are truly impressive and are one of the easiest recommendations I’ll ever make. Coming in chic white or slick black (depending on the platform variant you go for), each GameBud is of a compact and neat design that sits nicely in the ear, with a simple push-and-twist motion to keep them secure. They’re lightweight too, and the touchpad makes for easy control. The case is also compact and can easily slip into a pocket neatly. The GameBuds’ stature may be small, then, but they cram in a bunch of features that make the proposition incredibly compelling - before you even put them on. With active noise canceling (ANC), IP55 water-resistant rating, and multi-platform compatibility, the feature set is off to a strong start - but it gets m...

Seagate Game Drive External SSD: One-minute review The Seagate Game Drive External SSD is a PlayStation-focused external solid-state drive (SSD) for gamers on Sony’s console looking for an extra storage boost. Compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC, this external SSD offers a speedy - though not blistering - plug-and-go option and channels an awful lot of what makes Seagate one of the go-to brands for gaming storage. The drive has a very slick design and robust-feeling build. A hardy rectangular cuboid in form, the drive feels like it could easily withstand a drop or bump, while also being very convenient to carry and stuff into a pocket. It shares the PS5 family’s aesthetic (the drive looks right at home next to Sony’s console) with its sleek white finish, black underside and cable, and smart blue RGB light that runs along the front edge. Seagate hasn’t published any claimed read and write speeds, which is unusual. But from our testing, the drive proved to be reliabl...

PlayStation Pulse Elite: Two-minute review The PlayStation Pulse Elite is the next official headset from Sony for the PS5, offering a more premium wireless audio companion for the current-gen console. The new features and tech inside the Elite, its superb audio quality, depth, and detail, and its ease and speed of connectivity across the PS5 and PlayStation Portal connectivity mean it’s an easy recommendation to make and gives many of the best PS5 headsets a run for their money.   Like its gaming earbud brethren, the PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds , there are some hugely enticing selling points with the Pulse Elite headset. The first is the inclusion of planar magnetic drivers to provide stellar gaming audio, and the second is the PlayStation Link connectivity compatibility. Both are excellent features and make for a compelling gaming headset package for those looking to upgrade their audio game, make a jump up from 2020’s Pulse 3D headset , and certainly those that are enj...

Review info Platform reviewed: PS5 Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC Release date: August 30, 2024 (August 27 for Gold and Ultimate Edition owners)  Star Wars Outlaws promises the excitement of being a scoundrel and rogue in the famous sci-fi universe - and it delivers brilliantly on this, with everything being housed in an authentic Star Wars setting, aesthetic, and experience.  Everything in this action-adventure game from serial third-person open-world makers Ubisoft (its Massive Entertainment studio, specifically) combines to make for a fulsome, moreish, and compelling experience. Be it undermining the crime syndicates, stealthing through strongholds with your companion Nix to steal specific treasures, roaming the lands for experts to learn skills from, or soaking up the beautiful worlds and vistas on offer, there’s rogueish enjoyment around every corner. There are Ubisoft fingerprints all over Outlaws too with new variants on The Division...

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5: Two-minute review SteelSeries is aiming for “affordable luxury” with the Arctis Nova 5 headset and it feels like it's succeeded in delivering exactly that in this wireless gaming headset . Priced competitively, what you get for your money is excellent before you even get to the gaming headset's unique selling point: the Companion App. We tested the 5X, which offers compatibility with every platform, including PlayStation – if you’re looking for a one-and-done solution in your next mid-to-high-end gaming headset, this will be the one, no matter what you play on. Throw in excellent battery life of up to 60 hours that will easily last you days’ worth of sessions, a robust build, comfy design, and that sweet SteelSeries audio quality straight out of the box, and the Nova 5 swings even harder. While those are exceptional features and characteristics, it’s the addition of the Companion App that helps set the Nova 5 apart from its peers. Having dozens of...
