Review: Seven Samurai 4K UHD

Review: The Karate Kid – Street Rumble
Despite the series’ popularity, few video games have followed the adventures of Mr Miyagi and Daniel LaRusso. The Karate Kid: Street Rumble attempts to change this fact by combining the first three movies into one game.
Review: Gioteck™ FR5 Racing Wheel Dock
With an RRP of £39.99, the FR5 is the perfect entry level wheel to help give you even more enjoyment from your racing games. Be warned though, this could well be the gateway to eventually leading you down a rabbit hole where you end up with a full racing set-up.
