BabelTechReviews: JDM: Japanese Drift Master Review – Sliding Into Potential, Skidding on the Details
If you’re a fan of drifting, Japanese car culture, or simply love the idea of taking a Nissan Skyline sideways through rain-slicked mountain roads under neon lights, then JDM: Japanese Drift Master has probably already caught your eye. Developed by Gaming Factory, this simcade racing game throws you into the fictional prefecture of Guntama, a beautiful Japanese-inspired map packed with twisty touge roads, winding highways, and narrow urban alleys.

BabelTechReviews: Rift of the NecroDancer Review – When the Beat Drops, So Does the Floor
In 2015, the genre-defining Crypt of the NecroDancer was released and turned roguelike conventions on their head with beat-matching dungeon crawling; expectations for its follow-up were high. Cadence of Hyrule was our first jump into this series and we loved it, so we’ve been waiting for more from Brace Yourself Games. Their latest entry, Rift of the NecroDancer, however, takes a sharp detour—eschewing procedurally generated dungeons for a rhythm-based, lane-style action experience, more akin to Guitar Hero than Binding of Isaac. It’s a bold swing, one that trades permadeath for progression, and caves for… coffee shops?

TechPowerUp: PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper 8 GB Review
We're taking a look at the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB, which comes with only half the memory size of the 16 GB models, but is at least $50 cheaper. Data from the review suggests that NVIDIA's memory management is much less efficient than the one used on RDNA 4, giving AMD the upper hand.

Hardware Busters: SilverStone Hela 2500Rz ATX v3.1 PSU Review
Back in the day the strongest badass PSUs could deliver up to 1600W. There was only one Super Flower Leadex that went a little above, at 2000W, which in essense was just an “overclocked” 1600W unit. These days are gone, with GPUs becoming more power-hungry with each generation, so we started seeing now PSUs with 2.5kW or higher capacitites. In today’s review I will evaluate SilverStone’s monster, the Hela 2500Rz, which can actually deliver more than 2500W!

NikKTech: Hiwill HiElite A41 Dolby Atmos Soundbar System Review
The HiElite A41 Dolby Atmos Soundbar System by Hiwill may not blow you away with its audio performance but for its target audience it’s a very tempting proposal.
