After using the Soundcore Liberty 5 all week, I'm sold on these speedy-charging buds

3 weeks ago | pcgamer.com | Katie Wickens

Newest in a lineup of intensely customizable gaming earbuds, the Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 waltzes onto the scene with style and practicality on its side. But with some of the best gaming earbuds coming in at well under its $130/£100 price tag, the Soundcore Liberty 5 is going to have to offer something truly special for its price range in order to make it onto the list, especially versus its plucky predecessors.
Break!! review: "A worldbuilder's fever dream of familiar anime tropes, dusted over deep and malleable lore"

3 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | Katie Wickens

Break!! is a tabletop RPG with a stark emphasis on meaningful player interaction, creative expression, and all-out weebyness. The 470 page core rulebook is a worldbuilder's fever dream of familiar anime tropes, dusted over deep and malleable lore.
I've been using the AceZone A-Blaze and this is an adept headset for marathon gaming sessions but a little too conspicuous to take outside

3 weeks ago | pcgamer.com | Katie Wickens

Built for gaming, the AceZone A-Blaze design skirts a fine line between affordability, portability, and practicality. Against previous AceZone wireless gaming headsets, we're looking at a fairly cut-down model meant to bring pro-gaming audio to the masses. There's a lot of competition in this price range though, and while the A-Blaze sticks to its roots as a ferocious gaming headset, it may have been pruned a little too hard in order to hit that fiscal sweet-spot.

Quit acting like somebody stole your sweetroll, the Skyrim adventure board game is down to its lowest price since last year

1 month ago | gamesradar.com | Katie Wickens

Modiphius has a track record of creating fantastic board games, and while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Adventure Game didn't make it onto our list of the best board games, there's still a lot to like about this tabletop rendition of a well-loved digital RPG. In spite of all the talk on China-US import tariffs raising board game prices, ain't nobody stealing our sweetroll on this one.

Burrow deep and rebuild with up to $32 off cosy city builder board games, featuring woodland creatures and teeny tiny windmills

1 month ago | gamesradar.com | Katie Wickens

When the world seems to be crumbling around you, sometimes you need to feel in control. Playing city builders is how I stave off the worry, in any case. And what better way to extend that feeling of fixing the world, than by getting your pals involved in some cozy city building board game shenanigans? Two birds with one stone, I suppose (disclaimer: you may need several stones to build a city).
New Lego Fortnite sets get weird with massive Mecha Team Leader that's bigger than Lego Optimus Prime, as well as a Klombo model

1 month ago | gamesradar.com | Benjamin Abbott |Katie Wickens

Four new Lego Fortnite sets have been unveiled, and honestly? It's making me appreciate just how bizarre the video game can be. Yes, being able to float into action via the Lego Battle Bus certainly isn't conventional. But the new Lego Fortnite sets include a massive Mecha Team Leader (which you can check out on the Lego Store) and a delightful Klombo.

With Mycelia currently$21.98 at Amazon, down from its usual $39.99 price tag, US fun guys will save $18.01 on a tactical wonderland of mushrooms.
Designer of Disco Elysium spiritual successor TTRPG reveals "key design tenet" mirrored in jazz and progressive metal: "Every misstep, every dead end [makes] the eventual release more beautiful"

1 month ago | gamesradar.com | Katie Wickens

Cutting through each of us are countless voices. Most of mine tell me to check out more of the best tabletop RPGs, but there are others. Invasive voices that resonate from our core, belittling our self-image, calling out our actions, and lurching simultaneously in disparate directions.
