I’ve never been a big proponent of Chromebooks for various reasons, mostly because I often found them under powered for what I wanted to do. But after taking the Pixelbook from Google for a spin, my tune on the product and its usefulness completely changed. While never meant to be a primary device, the Google Pixelbook has been an excellent companion device for the running of GamesReviews.com, and now I cannot even imagine keeping things up and running without it.

We've been taking a longer approach to our review of Dragon Quest XI, but thanks to great support from our friends at Square Enix, as well as the thousands of you who have been reading each and every part, it's been a fairly successful endeavour so far. Today we wrap things up with our final review chapter, examining the story you'll play through in this latest Dragon Quest release. Spoilers, it is one of the best stories I've played through in a long while.

The narrative driven video game experience has been a bit overdone in the past number of years, and closures such as Telltale are a good indication that many people have become burnt out on the genre. Some companies are soldiering on though, thanks to other income sources from other popular franchises, and Square Enix is a good example of this. After a well-received first release with Life is Strange, the sequel was pegged by many to be one of the…

Today Google unveiled some of their newest products hitting store shelves this fall and winter; during the Made by Google 2018 event, the Google Pixel 3 / Google Pixel 3 XL and the Pixel Slate and Keyboard were shown off to great fanfare! Along with a number of other announcements, this was a fantastic event that kicks of the next year of Google products! The way Google unveiled the devices was different – having them come up out of the…

Thanks to our good friends at Xbox Canada, we were able to take a look at NBA 2K19 on the Xbox One X, and although it had been a few years since we had played a basketball video game - outside of arcade releases - and were pleasantly surprised with how far the genre has come. But is NBA 2K19 worth your time? Let's dive in!

Although I've always enjoyed the Mario Party franchise - mostly because it allows all my family to come together for one great evening of gaming - the past few releases in the franchise have been a bit subpar for me. They all brought their own unique spin on things - such as the 5th player option on the gamepad in Mario Party 10 on Wii U - but the inclusion of vehicles that transferred all players together at one time was a bit disappointing, and hurt the game ...

When Assassin’s Creed Origins launched last year it became quickly apparent that the major changes to the franchise propelled that release to my favourite Assassin’s Creed game to date, and it was a sentiment shared by many. One year later, and we have been promised another grand adventure, built on similar changes made to Origins. But with only a year between releases, does this release take a step back? Let’s dive in!

Today marks the beginning of October, and thus the beginning of the Halloween season. While places like Disney World have been living the Halloween dream for a few months now, you know the holiday is quickly approaching when LEGO launches their yearly themed sets. With the success of BrickHeadz over the last number of months, it comes at no surprise that they have released a few Halloween themed sets to get people in the mood! As more of a collectors display ...

As we move onto Chapter 4 of our review, we've only had glowing things to say about Dragon Quest 11. The voice acting is fantastic, the environments beautiful, and the story-to-date has been top notch. I was wondering if GamesReviews would be handing out another elusive 10/10 score to this title, but after about 25 hours of gameplay I'm realizing one major flaw. The music in Dragon Quest 11 is atrocious, and I can't imagine how this was overlooked, when ...

With Kingdom Hearts 3 launching in January of 2019, more and more news is coming out of the team at Square Enix, getting perspective fans an opportunity to see just a bit more of the game as they await the next 4 months. Today's announcement was a bit out of the blue, however, as Square Enix has partnered with Skrillex and Hikaru Utada to create the opening theme song for the game.
