Say hello to the AORUS Gen4 AIC 8 Terabyte SSD. It isn’t an SSD as you would expect, in fact it is four 2TB SSD’s mounted on a motherboard which is cooled by its own fan and it runs through the ultra fast PCI-Express 4 16x connection. Boasting speeds of 15,000MB’s of transfer rate a second (real world hovers around 13GB~ a second), it towers over...
Formula One started late this year due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The Austrian race began the season on the 5th of July a full 110 days later than usual. Races will all be held behind closed doors with no access for spectators. Thankfully the game is still here to get your fix and this time you are not just a driver. As with all racing games these days, you start...

It’s probably getting to the point now where those with launch PS4s are struggling to keep their DualShock 4 controllers charged because they are discharging a lot quicker than they used to. One of the downsides of the internal battery is that it’s not as simple as swapping it out as an external battery pack like you see on the Xbox controller. However, is...
What is there left to say about The Last of Us? It seems to have gained all the praise and kept people talking about that ending and discussing the morality of the decisions made in the game. Naughty Dog created a game with an ending and a story that most people have their own interpretation of the characters and the situations they were in, and they’ve done it...
Using the PS4 controller buttons as a reference point we have managed to scale the PS5 renders to show how the two consoles look in comparison to each other. In the image above you can see how the PS5 towers over the PS4 Pro that is actually wider than it is tall. The angle and the side panels of the PS5 may also add to the illusion. From what I can gleam from when...

The announcement trailer has a very specific audio profile that matches exactly what you’d expect from a PlayStation boot up screen. Listen to this and see if you agree? It sounds like an evolved version of the PS4’s start up sound, but with more levels to it. The audio is very complicated and I can’t even picture what instruments or effects...
Sony has finally announced that they will be streaming a pre-recorded event on Twitch or YouTube on June 4th 2020 at 1pm PDT / 9pm BST.

Fans were underwhelmed with the May PlayStation Plus offering, so much so they bombed the line-up reveal video on YouTube with a record number of dislikes. So is Sony using this early release as a way to make up for this? Announced on their Twitter, a preview on the June line-up. Call of Duty will be release earlier to potentially make up for the disappointment. This...
It is hard to believe that a true ‘Jaws’ or shark game has never really existed in a fashion that springs to mind instantly when talking about this genre. The ability to attack any creature in the sea as well as humans on land. Maneater claims to be that game, so can it sink its teeth into the annuls of history, or bite off more than it can chew? The simple...
Sony recently announced a brand new limited edition console for The Last of Us Part II. It features an embossed design on the top of a fern and a butterfly/moth. But where does it come from?
