Belkin Stage PowerGrip: Review

In an ideal world, technology should be either life-altering or an aid to make life easier.

Many gadgets shoot for this, but either end up feeling like they've missed the mark or don't quite match the spec of what's needed.

Initially, the Belkin Stage PowerGrip makes you wonder what on earth - and who - it's aiming for. Is it a power bank to charge your phone? Is it a phone stand? After careful consideration, Belkin's decided this latest is actually all of those things - and is aimed at the content creator market, given it also offers a tripod stand to complete the range.

Straight out of the box, the Belkin Stage PowerGrip is a fairly light piece of kit, albeit one that feels chunky enough to do everything it offers and endure plentiful use. 

But for those millennials who've never known the thrill of activating a camera shutter or holding a camera to take a snap, rather than lifting a phone aloft at an angle and sticking your tongue out, the Belkin Stage PowerGrip will be a revelation to them. 

A button atop the PowerGrip allows you to take snaps or video after you've connected via the Bluetooth. It's a fairly simple process once you know what you're doing and while it takes a bit of a mental adjustment, the benefits after are relatively good.

Primarily aimed at the vlogging and creation market, this tool does work if you just want a stand to hold up your phone and video away - though, in fairness, the lack of any real flexibility of the stand in terms of how you'd model it may be a source of frustration to some. Given it's a fixed stand and one that can't be moulded to filming desires, it may irritate some who're looking for a little more flexibility.

Working primarily for the iPhone users and compatibility with the Galaxy S26 does also mean a sizeable market is shut out of using this particular piece of kit, which seems a touch narrow-minded given there are as many Android users as there are iPhone users. Hopefully, Belkin will look to adjust that.

With the ability to charge up to three devices, USB-C output ports, a retractable USB-C charging cable and LED screen for battery percentage, as well as the option to work as a phone stand, the somewhat bulky Belkin Stage PowerGrip certainly has enough going for it - and those who use tools like this regularly will be compelled to buy it to make their life easier.

With just a little more market insight, this could be an essential tool for all - as it stands currently, it covers its niche market exceptionally well.

Tech specs for the package:

●       Portable, convenient, ergonomic camera grip design

●       Long-lasting 9.3K mAh* power bank charges phone up to 1.6x

●       15W to charge up to three devices wirelessly at the same time

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: Blu Ray Review

Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, Chi Lewis-Parry, Erin Kellyman
Director: Nia Da Costa

After the surprisingly tender and poignant 28 Years Later revitalized the franchise last year, the speed in which its sequel was announced and released was welcome, but unexpected news.

But this latest has a lot to live up to, thanks to its absolutely bonkers ending of 28 Years Later that evoked the ghost of Jimmy Saville.

Suffice to say, this is something quite special. By turns vicious, menacing, theological, philosophical, insane and incredibly moving and yet still, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple begins with Alfie Williams' Spike being captured by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal (O'Connell, terrifying and terrific) and his cult of white-haired minions.

From the opening sequence in which Crystal sits in a Jim'll Fix It-style chair as he presides over violence and warped cruelty to the crowd-pleasing finale, everything in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is not what you may be expecting. At all.

Ruminating on what happens when the tenets of faith crumble as science or anyone ichallenges them, as well as offering an insight into Samson's life (one of the standout moments of the sequel mixes both memory and violence with aplomb), the whole film is anchored on manipulating a meeting between Fiennes Dr Ian Kelson and O'Connell's Crystal.

But along the way, with unexpected needle drops, philosophical edges, examinations of what it is to be human and selfless, as well as tender moments from Fiennes, there's plenty of pathos and humanity to explore in a civilisation that's teetering on memories of before and living among the brutalities of now.

Much like 28 Years Later, The Bone Temple is best enjoyed unspoiled as it unspools out. It's a singular experience that's anchored by a deeply memorable performance from both Fiennes and O'Connell - but also from Williams and Kellyman (a Jimmy cult inductee), whose characters suffer their own existential crises. 

For a film that's about a virus that turns its victims into raging monsters, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has an unfeasible amount of quiet silence and magnificence among some of the malevolence. It's evocative, sadistic, compelling, dark, brooding and thoughtful - it's everything a great film should be and a sign that Alex Garland and Danny Boyle's world has massively, cleverly and cerebrally evolved.

At its core, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is 2026's first unmissable film.

Laser 14" Portable Screen: Review

Extra screens come in all shapes and sizes - especially in these work from home times.

But what generally they lack is portability. However, Laser's launched a new portable screen to deal with that very problem. 

At 14 inches, perhaps the first concern is that it barely matches the same size as most laptops. However, rather than simply going for a 16x9 monitor, Laser's delivered a 16x10 experience that adds an extra bit of height to its display.

Simplicity is the key here.

Taking it out of the box, it's obvious what the drawcard is here - weighing in at around just 560 grams, this is the kind of screen that will slide nicely into your laptop bag or under your arm. It's not weighed down by overly unnecessary buttons and with a simple plug in and go mentality, there's no real need to fiddle around - unless you want a second screen to extend.

Inside the box, there's just the screen and the USB-C and HDMI cables, meaning your setup is a simple one, and there's no need to raid that box of cables that you leave lying around. Perhaps the fiddliest part of the setup is the extender arm on the back of the device.

That's mainly because the LED screen is light, there's a feeling that applying any kind of pressure on the front could permanently damage the display. There's also the option to mount this too, should you so desire - though given the real plus of this device is its portability, that would be a little pointless. (And it's worth noting the mount doesn't come as part of the package, which is priced at around $179.)

Straight off the bat, the screen impresses with its display. Its crystal-clear imagery more than does what's needed for a second screen in the office. The brightness may very occasionally work better as a darker room piece of kit, rather than a fully sun-drenched room. It's a bit more of an intriguing proposition as a standalone device, but with HDMI cables, it can be used to attach to a gaming device to avoid a big screen experience.

As a presentation tool though, it's better than connecting to an office bigscreen monitor - and the more close-quarters workers will relish the fact the device can effectively and quickly display any propositions.

If anything, the sound pumped out by the screen's speakers is nothing more than fine - any audiophile who's looking for a more impressive sound experience won't really be investing in a portable monitor anyway, but given the portability is key here, the fact it pumps out sound better than a non-Bluetooth-connected laptop does gives it bonus points anyway. There's a jack on the side to plug in speakers, but when you start adding more tech to this, then it becomes less about portability. However, headphones work fine.

For the price you're paying and given how easy it is to simply set up and get on with what's needed without any fuss, the Laser 14" Portable Screen more than delivers on its promise and premise with ease. 

Marvel MaXimum Collection: PS5 Review

Developed by Limited Run Games
Published by Limited Run Games
Platform: PS5

The Marvel Universe is somewhat of a large beast.

From countless movies to endless TV shows, the Marvel tentacles spread far and wide. So, it's no surprise that there are a series of games for the fans to get their hands on - and this collection of a slew of the Marvel genre is more than a match for any serious gamer and fan - even if some of the gameplay is somewhat repetitive.

Originally released from the 1990s, these five games prove to be as difficult as any arcade game can be - from the movement-based gameplay of Silver Surfer (which is punishingly difficult to the point of irritation) through to the Street Fighter-esque beat'em'up of the Spider-Man games, there's more than enough to keep fans of the button-mashing gameplay busy.

Even with rewind capabilities (as the Ghosts'n'Goblins arcade game did when it came to console), there's no walk in the park for these titles - certainly Silver Surfer, where the slightest touch of anyone can send you back to the start of the game, is one of the toughest games out there and included in this collection.

Graphically, they're faithful to the 2D scroller originals, but lack some of the finesse of the next gen console's abilities to be frank. There's no fidelity upgrade here and while the games don't suffer from frame-rate drop out or the like, they're certainly not something to write home about visually. Except that in many ways, that's not the point - these are extremely faithful adaptations of the 90s titles, 8-bits and all - and on that front, they easily deliver.

This is a nice little collection, perhaps in some ways, it's a little niche - and certainly the repetition of gameplay leaves a fair bit of beat-em-up desirability to go. There's much to be said for nostalgia and given this collects together a wide raft of titles that only had Sega, Nintendo and Game Gear playability, getting them onto the next gen consoles is an X-cellent idea.

The collected games are: Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage, Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety, X-Men: The Arcade Game, Captain America and The Avengers, Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge, and Silver Surfer.
