‘Razer Chimaera 5.1 Wireless Headset’ Review

by Phil Wheat

Originally available in a stereo iteration, Razer’s Chimaera 5.1 Wireless headset has had something of a makeover, adding 5.1 Dolby surround sound in the process. Billed as the “ultimate surround sound gaming headset for the Xbox 360” the Chimaera headphones are however the latest in a long line of overly-expensive and over-specced headsets packed with […]

The Walking Dead 3×14 – “Prey” Review

by Nathan Smith

‘Prey’ is an effective episode setting up the endgame to come in the dawning war between Rick and The Governor. It smartly focuses on one half of the equation and barely even registers with the prison group save for the cold open with Michonne by the fireside and a brief but unsettling apperance by Rick […]

The final pay-per-view event of the WWE calendar, TLC: Tables/Ladders/Chairs was originally marked out for its innovative high-flying, high-risk matches. However since the departure of many of the WWE’s rope-walking risk takers the TLC PPV has become something of a damb squib, especially considering the event sits in between the much more high profile Survivor […]
