Review dilemma: jazzy footwear or niche hardware?
A quick show of hands, please. I’ve decided that the first proper Friday feature of 2025 will be a review of one of my Christmas presents, but I can’t decide which present to assess. As Simon Bradley’s The Railways is out of the frame because I’ve not finished it yet, and my vocabulary and taste buds probably aren’t sophisticated enough to do justice to a bottle of Laphroaig single malt, the choice is between a striking pair of hand-knitted socks and an unusual sim peripheral.

Your gaming room is so perishingly cold, removing hands from pockets is unthinkable. You’re cradling a dozing infant or pet and don’t wish to wake them by operating a keyboard or controller. You’re cohabiting with a petulant poltergeist who’ll trash the place unless distracted 24/7 by moving images… There are many reasons why you might want to ‘play’ a video game without actually playing a video game. Here are four current THC favourites that double as splendid animated screensavers.
