One Plus Phone Accessories – Are They Worth It?

Over the past few weeks, we have been looking at the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus 13R. One Plus offers a number of first party accessories including cases, a wireless charger, and buds! We have reviewed the buds in the past, and really enjoyed them – but what about the cases and the charger? Let’s take a look! There certainly isn’t anything flashy about the OnePlus cases, although they are first party and are magnetic which, for the OnePlus 13,…

Minos Components Overview and Impressions

This week, Minos arrived for review, and we could not be more excited about it. Although we hear the game runs a bit long, I’ve also heard it nestles nicely in that medium weight category, despite the length. While I haven’t had the chance to play Minos quite yet, that didn’t stop me from getting it unboxed. Let’s take a look at what’s inside! Minos is a HEAVY game, and that’s not based on its Board Game Geek rating. It’s…

How Theme Can Change my Opinion on a Mechanic in Board Games

Once you’ve spent enough time in the board game space, you begin to learn words related to mechanics, and begin to develop your own preferences. When analyzing games for your gaming group, it’s always good to keep those preferences in mind. One player might love worker placement games, another deck building games, and another may enjoy trick taking experiences. I have my own preferences too, and trick taking has always been near the bottom of my preferred ...

Final Thoughts – OnePlus 13 Review

Over the past week, we have been pushing our various articles around our review of the OnePlus 13 smartphone, one of the best smartphones on the market right now. While there are a few things we don’t love about the device – anytime you shell out more than $1000 for a phone it’s a bit tough – OnePlus is standing at the top of the smart phone pile when you take that price, and match the myriad of features packed…

I’m Not So Sure About Nestlings

As GamesReviews grows and our readership of board game content grows with it, we have been given more and more opportunities to review games. As such, it’s not often anymore that I have time to play the games I actually do purchase, and yes I do purchase games! Nestlings was one of those games. I could have gotten it for review through Lucky Duck Games, but ultimately decided to just purchase it myself for a fairly reasonable cost, around $30…

Foundations of Metropolis Components Overview and Impressions

Foundations of Rome looked like a phenomenal game, but ultimately it was a 50-60 dollar experience packaged in a few hundred dollar box. It was grossly overpriced for what it was, although priced exactly right for the components included in the box. Arcane Wonders has released the exact same game, but in a smaller box using cardboard bits. At under $60, you can now own a fabulous game, but at what cost to the production? Thankfully, I can say at…

One Plus 13 Review – How Long Does it Last

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.…

Altered – Trial By Frost Expansion Overview and Impressions

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…

One Plus 13 Review – Camera Improvements Make Me Excited for the Future

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…

OnePlus 13 Review – Top Tier Mobile Gaming

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…
