Elgato Facecam MK.2 review: Crystal clarity at a reasonable price

Elgato is one of the most well-known brands in video game accessories, especially when it comes to products relating to content creation. These accessories often come at a premium cost which should reflect the quality of the product. The reasonably priced Elgato Facecam MK.2 delivers a top-performing webcam at a fraction of the cost compared to the likes of the Elgato Facecam Pro version. It can be debated whether or not it’s worth taking the plunge and stumping up the cash on a new external webcam....

Pepper Grinder review: Fast-paced and joyous platforming

There are moments inPepper Grinderthat make you feel a bit like a speedrunner. The way you move through sections of levels is incredibly fluid and at times, I found myself leaping out of compacted dirt, swerving through the air, and diving into water where I’d kill several enemies with the drill bit on my arms, creating a satisfying chain of quick movements.

I’ll concede that most of the problems I faced were of my own making, born from my poor time management and multitasking skills....
