What is Cubed3?

Cubed3 is an independent video game and tech review site that has been publishing since 2003. It covers Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, mobile, and retro games, and also reviews audio gear, controllers, consoles, and accessories. Alongside reviews, it publishes interviews, features, and UK chart news.

What Cubed3 covers

The site's own description positions it around helping readers "discover the best video games to buy" through independent, expert reviews. Its content splits into a few broad areas:

• Game reviews across current and legacy platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 2, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and mobile
• Hardware and accessory reviews, with dedicated categories for audio, controllers, consoles, and accessories
• Interviews and features, such as a discussion with Goichi Suda (Suda51) about Romeo Is a Dead Man
• Chart and industry news, for example UK chart highlights covering titles like EA Sports FC 27 and Silent Hill: Townfall

How the reviews are structured

Each review carries a headline verdict, a score out of 10, the reviewer's name, and a publication date. Recent examples from the site include:

Scores sit alongside a short summary line, so you can gauge the verdict before reading the full piece. The site also runs "Second Opinion" reviews, where a second writer gives their own take on a title already covered.

Who it's useful for

Cubed3 is most useful if you want a single place to check reviews before buying a game or a piece of gaming hardware, and you value coverage that spans modern platforms and retro systems rather than focusing on one console. The mix of game, accessory, and controller reviews means it can inform a full setup decision, not just a software purchase.

Because the site has been running since 2003, its archive also covers older platforms and titles that newer outlets may not have reviewed at all.
