Lego City Undercover lands on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in Spring 2017

Today WB Games has announced Lego City Undercover will finally receive a multiplatform release as new recruits will be able to play the game on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch and Steam in Spring 2017.

Lego City Undercover originally released on the Wii U as a console exclusive back in March 2013, which makes its multiplatform release a bit strange at this point considering it’ll be four years since its original release. Thankfully, today’s news means more gamers will be able to experience this excellent kid-friendly open-world action game as we thought it was one of the Wii U’s best games.

WB Games didn’t go into detail as to what enhancements, if any, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Steam players can expect, although we’re sure it’ll be a matter of time until the publisher announces more information.

Review: Fnatic Clutch G1 esports mouse with full RBG backlighting

The Fnatic Clutch G1 is Designed with the world’s best esports players, Fnatic developed the CLUTCH G1 for players to use in-competition. With full RGB-LED backlighting, three-step DPI indication, and the Pixart 3310 optical sensor, is it any good priced at £59.99/€59.90.

Fnatic Clutch Gear G1 is based on the same components as the model Flick, the major difference being the date of the form, if Flick was an ambidextrous mouse, Clutch shall be exclusively right-handed. Otherwise, both specifications and defining features Fnatic Gear (teflon surface, sober design, etc.) remained in place, the major differences being the mouse form, adding an extra button shape and skate sites.

Clutch Gear G1 has a maximum rate of 1000Hz polling, that is top notch and supports a 30g maximum acceleration.

But this time we have available 7 buttons instead of 6 Fnatic Gear adding another button to switch between three profiles saved with the utility included in the package, and a scroll RGB lighting.

The Clutch Gear G1 sits well in the hand for long period of time, and don’t get cramping in my hand.

mde — One of three different profiles you can have on the Clutch G1

Software
The software is simple, but with all the settings I might need at your fingertips, whether you talk about profiles, macros, sensitivity, speed scroll, lighting scroll wheel or polling rates .

The Clutch G1 is equipped with on-board memory so that once defined the three profiles, Clutch G1 will hold whether we will use another PC that does not have the software installed.

Conclusion

I’m going to give the Fnatic Clutch G1 eSports gaming mouse a Silver Movies Games and Tech award because it a very good mouse just the scroll wheel can be a little stiff at times for me, but the RGB lighting is done just right for me not to bright that it lights up the room.

Survival expansion lands on PC/Xbox One tomorrow for The Division

The second expansion for Tom Clancy’s The Division, Survival, will be available tomorrow (22nd November) on Xbox One and PC and will be released for the PlayStation 4 on 20th December. Survival is included in The Division Season Pass but can also be purchased separately.

As New York is hit by a devastating snowstorm, The Division agents receive intel about some powerful anti-virals left behind in the Dark Zone, that could help stem the spread of the pandemic. But before they manage to reach their destination, the agents’ chopper is taken down by the intensifying weather.

To survive and reach their objective, players face the most extreme conditions and have to manage cold, disease, hunger and thirst. Finding warm clothes, crafting supplies, scavenging for food, water, and medicine are key for agents to make their way to the antidote. But with 23 other players struggling to survive and to find the cure, resources are scarce. Competition between agents will lead many to fall on their way to the Dark Zone. Besides this hostile environment, another deadly threat is prowling in the Dark Zone and preying on The Division: the Hunter, a swift advanced enemy who displays proudly the watches of the agents he has killed.

In Survival, players will be able to choose to enable either PvP or PvE. In PvP, while the Rogue mechanic does not apply, agents can fight against or cooperate with other players in every corner of New York, even outside of the Dark Zone. As PvP comes with additional risks, it also comes with additional rewards, in the form of a bonus multiplier to the total score. In PvE, players will be able to play in cooperation with other players, and PvP is disabled, even in the Dark Zone.

Free update 1.5 will include a new world tier for all activities, world tier five, as well as six new high-end named gear pieces, three high-end named weapons and 12 new weapon types.

Review: LucidSound LS20 Gaming Headset

It’s time to review the LS20 Gaming Headset from LucidSound.

The LucidSound LS20 Amplified Universal Gaming Headset is a new class of gaming headset which unites high-fidelity audio and advanced gaming control with intuitive modern design. Featuring Active (amplified) and Passive (unpowered) modes, the LS20 incorporates a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery providing powered amplification when used with a console, PC, or mobile device yet is still able to work in passive mode when powered off. Taking design cues from our flagship LS30, the LS20 features the LS30’s acclaimed ear-cup controls allowing gamers to instantly and intuitively access game volume, game mute, and mic mute. Plug in a smartphone, and volume, mute, mic mute, call, and playback controls are all at your fingertips. The Bass Boost option allows for an even more powerful audio range and built-in mic-monitoring lets players hear their own voice through the headset. A removable boom mic and an integrated mic make the LS20 a truly multi-use headset.

Features

The L20 features include:

Unique Game Volume Controls: Intuitively adjust game volume using a unique control system which is integrated into the aesthetic design of the headset.
40mm Speakers: A custom designed 40mm speaker with neodymium magnets provide deep bass and clear highs. Immerse yourself in the carefully crafted, signature LucidSound audio acoustics.
Bass Boost: Enhanced bass response for an even more powerful audio range.
Mobile Phone Control: Control volume, mute, mic mute and answer calls, play/pause your music, etc. with the ease of rotating a wheel or pressing a button when used with your mobile phone.
Built in Mic Monitoring: Built in mic monitoring lets you hear your own voice so you don’t need to shout!
Rechargeable Battery: The built-in battery delivers 20-hours use per charge.
Dual Microphones and Amplified Stereo Sound: Dual microphone implementation offers a flexible boom mic for intense online gameplay; the distinctive blue LED indicates when muted. Remove the boom mic to use the integrated mic for mobile use.
Comfort: The LS20 is an on-ear design offering impressive sound isolation and acoustics. Additionally, the LS20 uses memory foam ear cushions that mold to the individual user and offer superior comfort.
Using LS20 while you’re on the move:

The LS20 works as a both a powered and passive headset via the 3.5mm cable.
Use with your smartphone music device or phone and take calls using either the detachable boom mic or integrated mic.

Compatibility: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS or Android smartphone, mobile gaming devices such as Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita.

What’s in the box?

The box contains the LS20 headset, instructions and cables.

A Closer Look

Even the packaging is designed to protect the LS20, including the ear cups with have extra protection in the box.

The underside of the headband is very comfortable.

And the outside looks great too!

Here you have the power button, the USB port for charging, and the mic port.

Here is the EQ Base Boost button.

Final Thoughts

The first thing you notice is the quality of the LS20 – it looks like a very expensive set of headphones, and the same goes for the packaging.

Charging the LS20 and getting ready to use it is simple – just plug it in and wait! Once the LS20 is fully charged you can use it for around 20 hours, although I recommend recharging before you get to that point, the last thing you want is for the battery to run out in the middle of a gaming session!

The LS20 can easily be adjusted to bit comfortably on your head and even after prolonged usage it didn’t feel uncomfortable. Both the headband and the ear cups are cushioned for comfort and feature memory foam, which was a nice touch.

You can easily fit, and remove the boom mic depending on your needs – it just plugs right in.

The volume is controlled from the left hand side, along with an useful audio mute option by pressing the left ear cup.

The right hand side also has the option to mute the mic. There is also an EQ button that controls the Bass Boost.

All the controls are easily accessible even when you are in the middle of an intense gaming session.

The sound quality on the LS20 is excellent whether you are playing games, listening to music or using it to make phone calls – it’s a really great all round headset.

The LS20 works with the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Mobile and PC. If you want to use it with an Xbox One controller without a 3.5mm port you will need to buy the Xbox One Stereo Headset adaptor as one isn’t included in the box.

The LucidSound LS20 is available now priced £79.99 and it’s an absolute bargain, and would make a great Christmas present for the gamer in your life, or for someone who wants a great quality headset.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition Unleashes Apocalyptic Horse Stable Collector’s Edition

THQ Nordic has announced ‘The Scalding Gallow’, a one-of-a-kind collector’s edition for Darksiders Warmastered Edition, due for release on 22 November 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PC version will release on November 29^th 2016. More information on the Wii U release date for the Wii U will follow later on.

Available now for pre-order exclusively online in the UK through Green Man Gaming, the centrepiece of the one-off premium edition is a Darksiders-branded bespoke horse stable, ideal for housing your own apocalyptic steed like Ruin, the phantom horse ridden by the game’s star War. Named after the hub world in the game, ‘The Scalding Gallow’ horse stable is a unique mobile unit measuring 10.8 x 3.6m, includes a tack room with floor, a 3m x 3.6m haybarn and two 3m x 3.6 stables that can house two phantom horses (sold separately), whilst the outside of the unit is emblazoned with Darksiders artwork and logos.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition ‘The Scalding Gallow’ edition is available exclusively through Green Man Gaming for one UK-based customer, at the devilish sum of £66,600, and includes the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Wii U as well as the respective consoles, i.e. the PlayStation 4 Pro, the Xbox One S, the Wii U, and an Alienware Area-51 top-of-the-line gaming PC rig.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition Features:

• PS4 Xbox One, PC and Wii U versions of Darksiders (Wrath of War)
• Native 1080p rendering resolution for console platforms
• 4K support and additional video options for PC
• Doubled texture resolutions • Rendering improvements and rework • Better shadow rendering quality
• Post processing effects
• 60 FPS in moment to moment gameplay (PS4, Xbox One, PC, 30 for Wii U)

“A horse stable collector’s edition makes perfect sense for a game that stars War, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse,” says Nik Blower, Franchise Director and Senior Key Account Manager Sales at THQ Nordic. “Whilst the bespoke unit is built to withstand the demands of most phantom horses, Darksiders Warmastered Edition ‘The Scalding Gallow’ will also serve just as well as a home for less apocalyptic breeds.”

Two Minute Review : ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass + Screen Protector for iPhone 6 Plus

Are you in the market for a screen protector for your iPhone 6 Plus? If so here is our review of the ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass + Screen Protector.

This is how ZAGG describes it:

“Our phones’ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected, we created Glass+.”

Features

Impact Protection: Glass+ features Ion Matrix™ technology, the most advanced impact and shatter protection available.
Scratch Protection: A precision surface finishing process provides maximum scratch resistance.
Crystal Clear: Smooth tempered glass with reinforced beveled edges gives you maximum high definition image clarity and precision touch sensitivity.
Smudge Resistant: Its long-lasting, oil-resistant technology prevents fingerprint smudges to help keep your screen pristine.
Easy Application: Smart EZ Apply® tabs make application bubble free. Simply align it, press it, and watch as Glass+ does the rest.
A Warranty You Can Count On: A limited lifetime warranty means if your Glass+ gets worn or damaged, ZAGG will replace it for the life of your device.
Reinforced Edges: Strengthened beveled edges help prevent chips and cracks for a smoother, seamless touch every time.

What’s in the box?

The box contains the screen protector, instructions, a cloth, a sticker and a screen wipe.

Final Thoughts

We all need a screen protector for our phones – whether its because you want to stop it from being scratched, or you just want to keep in clean. ZAGG have been making screen protectors for years and I have used several of them in the past.

Fitting was very simple, you just follow the few simple instructions and within a few moments the protector is applied and that’s it.

Whilst ZAGG claim “make application bubble free”, I still had a few tiny bubbles, but those were soon smoothed out, so I was happy.

Overall I am very happy with the InvisibleShield Glass + Screen Protector, and can recommend it if you want to protector your iPhone from dust, scratches and fingerprints.

The ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass + Screen Protector retails for £24.99. This may seem very expensive for a screen protector, especially when a quick search on Amazon can find you a pack of two screen protectors for under £5, but you get what you pay for.

You can learn more from the ZAGG website.
