A few weeks ago we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro, which was quite impressive to say the least. Today we have in our hands its younger sibling (or so it would seem), the Galaxy C7 Pro, which was launched recently to an overwhelmingly positive response by the audience. With a price tag of INR 27,990 it competes directly with mid-range devices which fall under the 30K bracket. Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro Key Specifications Snapdragon 626 2.2GHz Octa-Core Processor 4GB RAM With 64GB ROM 5.7 Inch FHD AMOLED Display 16MP Camera With Dual Tone LED Flash and f/1.9 aperture 16MP Front Camera 4G VoLTE/WiFi USB-Type-C Fingerprint sensor 3300 mAh battery The Galaxy C7 Pro has a sleek body with a metal unibody design, making it one of the most premium phones in the market. It has a 5.7-inch display whic...
I loved Bulletstorm when it first released back in early 2011. The over-the-top action style, with testosterone filled masculinity flowing through all the male characters, witty dialogue, and genuinely fun gameplay all had me hooked from the get go. Sadly, the game did not seem to get the mass appeal it deserved back then. So, when Gearbox announced a fully remastered version of the game, called Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition, I was all for it. For the purposes of this review, we’ll be keeping aside the recent kerfuffle that Gearbox got into with regards to their publishing deal with G2A. Lets give Bulletstorm its due credit. You play as Grayson Hunt, the average space marine looking for revenge, while also trying to get himself and his crew off-planet where everything that moves, and...
Babes, blood and bodies along with a lot of tasteful dialogue, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project feels more like a Duke Nukem game than Duke Nukem: Forever. Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is a platform game developed by Sunstorm Interactive, produced by 3D Realms that was released on May 14, 2002. It was quite well received by critics when it released and got generally positive reviews in the 7-8 range out of 10. But the question is does the game still hold up and should you play it? Let’s start off with the gameplay of the game which is fairly simple. Jump, run and shoot your way to find a woman that has been strapped to a GLOPP bomb and to find a key that opens the exit. That’s the premise of every level of the game and you might think it gets repetitive but after playing through the game I d...
We generally don’t get to see a lot of GamDias products floating around in India, especially when it comes to headphones. But they’ve slowly been gaining more popularity as they add new products to their lineup. Today we take a look at the GamDias Hebe M1 Gaming Headset, which looks like a beast. Specifications Sensitivity 119±3dB Impedance 32 Ohm + / – 15% Driver diameter 50mm Microphone size Φ6*5mm Microphone sensitivity -40db±3db Microphone Pick up Pattern Unidirectional Vibration Unit Size 30mm Cable length 2m Plug type Gold-plated USB plug Dimension (LxWxH): 188 × 104 × 230 mm Design The GamDias Hebe M1 gaming headset is a humongous beast of an over-the-ear RGB headset that lights up in all the right places. It comes with a metallic headband, which is sort of non-adjustabl...
From Software had a unique burden on their hands. Their last few games have built up a reputation for being difficult and challenging without being unfair. Fans might argue difficulty is not even the core appeal of these games, but Dark Souls and game difficulty has become so intertwined that discussing one almost always brings up the other. With Dark Souls III’s last DLC “The Ringed City”, being the toughest Dark Souls experience ever was almost the de facto requirement. And Ringed city mostly delivers on that front. Accessible only after completing most of the base game or defeating the main boss of the first DLC, ensued only those up to the task gain entry to the content. The DLC starts with a linear area filled with set piece falls rivaling Tomb Raider. It is the end of the Dark Souls ...
Mass Effect – These two words are enough to make thousands of people smile. The original trilogy brought to us a wonderful and engaging world of interplanetary and interspecies sociopolitical strife, where each choice felt like a tough decision. It mattered how you interacted with the people around you, and it influenced how they would react to you. Mass Effect 2, especially, was storytelling at its best. Right from the beginning where you witness Normandy being blown to smithereens, it engrosses and sucks you in, with its world and its diverse characters. Mass Effect 3‘s ending disappointed a little, but that never stopped the game from being an amazing journey. Now, Andromeda does not need any introduction, which is both fortunate and unfortunate. Everyone has seen the memes ...
erX quickly became a popular name for gaming headset fans when it made its debut with the Cloud a few years ago. With the HyperX Cloud Stinger, the brand seems to have redefined the entry-level gaming headset market, thanks to its low price and attractive design. Let’s start with the basics.

At the heart of Torment: Tides Of Numenera is a singular question, “What does one life matter?” Backed by Kickstarter, with an initial goal of $900K, which was met in under 6 hours, and then went on to reach over 4 million dollars, Torment: Tides Of Numenera is the spiritual successor to 1999’s cult classic isometric RPG, Planescape: Torment, which is widely regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time, and stands among the likes of Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate and Knights Of The Old Republic. So, yeah, expectations were high. As with Planescape, the world of Numenera is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy themes. Set 1 billion years in the future, you are in the Ninth World, with many civilizations having risen and fallen in the past. With very little knowledge of th...
My main experience with games heavily influenced by Japanese culture and beliefs have either been JRPGs like Nioh, Valkyria Chronicles, a little bit of Final Fantasy, and some adventure games from Sony’s Japan Studio, like The Last Guardian. And while these games do have strong Japanese references in them, none of them are grounded in a more real world setting, filled with weirdness and absurdity that can only come from a place that has been nuked twice. Yakuza jəˈkuːzə/ Noun A powerful Japanese criminal organization. a member of the Yakuza; a Japanese gangster or racketeer. plural noun: yakuza And here we have Yakuza 0, sequel to the long running Yakuza series, that tells the tale of two protagonists in 1988’s crime riddled Japan. And as you unravel this tale of corrupt and power hungry c...
Ubisoft has its fair share of open world games, and for the most part they do a great job of making those open worlds enjoyable to explore, while giving you tons of activities to keep you hooked to the game. And Ghost Recon Wildlands is a definitely a good open world game. It’s not without its faults, many of which have been repeated in past Ubisoft games. However, the game is fun, looks absolutely fantastic, and might be the biggest, most dynamic open world game Ubisoft has made yet. Set in Bolivia, the you play as one of four Ghosts, while the other three can either be AI controlled or or controlled by up to three other players to play the game cooperatively. Your mission is to take down the narco hierarchy in Bolivia, primarily the Santa Blanca cartel, by eliminating its leaders and fin...
The CPU market has sort of been an Intel monopoly for the past few years, but with the Ryzen series of processors, the competition surely seems to be revived. The Ryzen CPUs are based on the new AMD Zen architecture and the AM4 socket, the direct successor to AMD’s Piledriver based FX processors with the AM3 & AM3+ sockets released over five years ago. It’s been a long time coming. The Ryzen 7 series is Ryzen’s high-end line of processors, with eight cores and 16 threads, making them the AMD counterparts to Intel’s i7 range. We’re reviewing the Ryzen 7 1800X, the top end of the Ryzen 7 series. Check out the tech specs below: Tech Specs CPU 1800X Cores 8 Threads 16 Socket AM4 Base Clock 3.6 GHz Boost Clock 4.0 GHz TDP 95W The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X has a base cl...
Sniper Elite 4 follows up directly the aftermath of the events in Sniper Elite III, and continues the adventures of Karl Fairburne. Set in Italy in 1943, you are sent to find out about a Nazi ‘super weapon’ of sorts, and then go on to tactically eliminate high ranking Nazi officers by any means necessary. I usually preferred relieving them of their testicles in a fatal manner. Oh, and it looks damn cool in slow-motion X-Ray vision. Sniper Elite 4 retains the unique style of the series, and cranks everything up to ten. The game sure does look great, specially the huge landscapes and gorgeous vistas. Italy looks absolutely fantastic, and there’s a lot of variety across missions to keep you hooked to the very end. The levels are bigger than ever, and as you sit atop a bombed...
