Alright, we’ve been running through a number of features of the OnePlus 13 that we think matters to the average consumer, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say there is none bigger on that list than the battery life and how quickly this device charges. The more impressive the device – and yes, the OnePlus 13 is an impressive phone – the more it takes to keep it running, which could mean a disastrous battery life.…

A few weeks ago, the team behind ALtered in France sent over a wonderful little package that only only included some nice items like some chocolate and a scarf, but also 12 packs of the newest Altered expansion, Trial by Frost! We are always excited for new TCG content, and we have really been enjoying our time with Altered. The latest expansion has a very “snowy” and “Christmas” vibe, so let’s take a look! From Altered’s website, “Begin your ascent…

The title of this portion of our OnePlus 13 review might be a bit odd, but it has a purpose that hopefully you will see by the end. If you are reading our reviews in order, this should be article #3 you are looking at, although perhaps not. Either way, if you’ve been around GamesReviews for any amount of time you know we don’t get deep into the nitty-gritty of cell phones and what they can do. We answer two…

In our previous article about the OnePlus 13 we took a look at the various specs of the phone and talked briefly about the included chipset in this phone. The ultimate conclusion was that you were getting great performance out of the phone both a) for the price; and b) compared to the competition. As a gaming site first and foremost, we are taking a look at how the OnePlus 13 performs in a handheld gaming situation! I have a…

Although it’s been out for a little while now, OnePlus gave us the opportunity to review their latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 13. Over the course of several articles, we will begin dissecting the various aspects of the phone, the things we liked and didn’t like, all in the view of video gaming on the go. Before we get into the various aspects of the phone – screen, battery, cameras, etc. – let’s take a look at the various specifications…

Where to Play We are on the cusp of yet another console generation for Nintendo, and while the Nintendo Switch is still selling strong at 150 million units lifetime, it’s time for something new, at least according to Nintendo and its fans. While Microsoft and Sony are keeping steady with their current systems – the Xbox Series X/S and the PlayStation 5 – Nintendo is driving into new territory where they hope to find success. There is one platform ...

When companies take popular franchises they own and release a younger, kid friendly version of said game, I’m almost always going to be intrigued. With two younger kids – ages 10 and 6 – playing games in our house, introducing them to more complex ideas and concepts with kid friendly games is something I really enjoy. The trick is creating a game that is great for kids, but fun for adults as well. Little Alchemist does just that, and it’s…

There is a really nice deluxified version of Radlands, a somewhat binged out version with nice plastic tokens, and a standard version available. The standard version, specifically, is so inexpensive that even before this review is over I suggest you head out and pick it up if you enjoy two player card games! We got the middle of the road version from Roxley games, which includes plastic tokens and a nice storage box! But is the game any good? Let’s…

My Dutch roots makes the idea of playing Windmill Valley very appealing. Growing fields of tulips to earn points? Sign me up! But a good theme of a fantastic production only gets a game so far – to that end, is Windmill Valley worth your time and money? Let’s take a look! I think off the top we need to mention how good the production is. All of the cardboard pieces are nice and thick, and while you can get…

When LEGO creates culturally appropriate LEGO sets for the mass market, I’ve always been curious to know what work goes into making those sets happen. Unlike sets based on LEGO City, or even LEGO Star Wars, sets that are based on specific cultures require just a bit more work, including lots of research to make sure the representation is appropriate. The LEGO Group gave GamesReviews the opportunity to interview Niels Mølgård Frederiksen, the designer behind the ...
