Timetable · how we cover a game

Every piece follows the same four legs.

No rushed launch-day verdicts. Each story runs a fixed route before it boards the front page.

01

Hands-on testing — 15–40 hours

We finish the campaign, grind the ranked ladder or hit the endgame before writing a word. Retail builds only, running on our own rigs. From free reader features to sponsored bench reports at £480.

02

Hardware deep-dives — weekly

Frame-time captures, thermals and 1% lows measured in our Hoxton lab. GPUs, handhelds and mechanical boards get a full test suite, not a spec-sheet summary.

03

Competitive scene reports

Patch-by-patch meta breakdowns and travel coverage of UK LAN events. We read the changelogs so your ranked climb doesn't stall on Tuesday morning.

04

The Sunday dispatch — free

One curated email each week: the review that mattered, three overlooked indies and a deal worth your money. No sponsored placements, ever.
