IPv6

The new network standard was supposed to transform the internet: Steve Cassidy asks what’s going on with IPv6

I remember hearing that the arrival of IPv6 was going to be the new Y2K disaster. What happened? Did we all just sleep through it?

We did, and that’s what was always meant to happen. As with Y2K, the disaster predictions had the intended effect of making money available to help the transition go smoothly – to the extent that most of us haven’t even noticed it happening.

Corsair Raptor K30

A raptor that isn’t going to try and cut you open and eat your insides while your still alive

The Corsair Raptor is coming up for being a couple of years old now, ever since Corsair purchased the Raptor Gaming name and products. However, it has proved itself as one of the more popular keyboard choices for both gamers and those who require a quality keyboard for long hours in front of the monitor.

F1 2015

More McLaren than Mercedes

The flashy world of F1 operates in cycles. Years of consecutive dominance from one driver or team will inevitably – often desperately – dissipate, resulting in a short burst period of who-knows-who-will-win-what mayhem that lasts between six and twelve months. This is usually as teams scramble to adapt to new rules and regulations imposed by the FIA to make the sport more interesting again, as drivers switch to new teams, rookies work their way through the ranks, and the racing calendar burgeons under the weight of Bernie Ecclestone’s relentless drive to push more investment into the sport.

God of War III Remastered

A superior redux that sees Kratos clashing with titans in clinical, claret-soaked style

Bigger is better, balder, and way, way, way bloodier. There’s nothing remotely small about face-painted, hair-deprived Kratos’ trilogy-closing PS3 adventure. Now back on our screens courtesy of this impeccably spruced up1080p/60fps PS4 re-release, the Ghost Of Sparta’s gloriously gory journey to slay arch-enemy Zeus takes in a truly gargantuan, mythical mountain, and titans who make the Colossi look like tiny, sad-eyed garden ornaments. If you thought the furious demi-god’s third outing was murderously brilliant on last-gen, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

Meeting sky high expectations

The real test of a good MMO is in how convincing its world feels. In how it creates a vast sense of place, in how its inhabitants feel like they actually live there. After all, once the story is over and you’ve ‘finished’ it, it’s the quality of the setting that’ll keep you coming back.
