That one I haven’t seen. Only that they fattened Aloy up in the second game. Which is true.

Sadly, no deals for business class fares. Prices for seats at the pointy end of the plane have only ever trended upwards since the…

COVID should have taught travellers an important lesson: travel resellers can go bust and invalidate your pre-paid tickets when that…

Hogwarts Legacy is great fan service for Harry Potter readers. But do yourself a favour and buy the game for a more capable console than…

I hugely regret buying this. The hardware is solid, but they have not many good games. Mostly shovelware.

This is nonsense. If you go for the RWD version, then you’ll get an LFP battery that lasts you forever.

If the updated model 3 is any indication then they will make it worse in some aspects (missing indicator stalks).

The RWD version is ideally suited for Australia. It can sustain many more charging cycles and is ideally suited for warmer climates.

Agree. I still played the story to its conclusion. And it was not terrible. Generally delving into the history of magic is a worthwhile…

Great fan service for the Harry Potter generation. Hogwarts and surrounding areas are fantastically realised in great detail. It is a lot…

But then you need a second car when you otherwise might do with one. Do yourself a favour and buy an EV with a decent range, fast charging…

Hats off to whoever posted this for mentioning all the shortcomings of the leaf. Basically, this is still a first-generation EV with a…

Still too expensive. A car company valued like a software stock. Makes no sense to me. And that’s not even factoring in their small range…

Exactly. I wonder how much it has saved them to do away with the indicator stalks. This and the fact that they eliminated the gauge cluster…

Because there are so many. Toyota cars are typically great quality. At least the bodywork panels tend to align.

Teslas as basically MAGA hats on wheels these days. I applaud them for kicking off the EV mass adoption. Sadly, their megalomaniac CEO lost…

As a comparable ICE car, a Toyota Camry costs from $39,000 (QLD). Comes with a proper dashboard and indicator stalks. Spectacular range and…

I welcome any trick that will prevent us from paying the “Australia tax”. But I suspect they’ll eventually crack down on this if…

A great game with tons of atmosphere, detail and character! Refreshingly, it is a AAA game that forgoes any pandering to modern-day…

I don’t see why this would be necessary. Perhaps they could ship a version for the newer consoles that runs at 60 fps. The graphics as…

It fits the era in which the game is set. Life was slower back then. Arthur isn’t Sonic the Hedgehog. He moves with confidence and…

Not even close. Expect to dial down settings to low, and engage FSR 2 where available to play modern AAA games. On the flip side, many…

Resolution is better and the Ally does 120 Hz with VRR. The Steam Deck OLED is only 800p and 90 Hz without VRR. I would still go for the…

I own both: a ROG Ally and a Steam Deck (non-OLED). My recommendation is for the Steam Deck OLED. It’s not even close. The ROG Ally…

I bought a ROG Ally a few weeks back. And I would NOT buy it again. Especially now that the Steam Deck OLED is out (even though not…

The Mini is unique in its design. Pity that they gave it an impractically small battery. Charge a few thousand extra and put a better…

Great running shoes. Comfortable, bouncy and no sore heels. Soles are fairly soft and will not last more than a few months of regular /…

They haven’t. Performance mode is still a mess and feels extremely jerky. Smooth at 30 fps, if that’s enough for you.

Twice the price of a PS5, which runs the same games that are often better optimised.

They are all repetitive with a dragged out story. But at least the locations (Ancient Egypt and Greece) and time periods were really…
