Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of the better top-down RPG experiences I’ve ever played, but unless you have a desire to log over a 100 hours into it, you might want to skip this one. If you want fantastic value for your money, Divinity Original Sin 2 is what you want to invest in! Like with the first game, the second mold the characters through the quests – more depth is worked into the everyday questing than is done…

While many criticize EA Sports for releasing similar games year after year, it was the small quality of life improvements and additions to fantastic modes like CHEL brought into NHL 20 that made me realize that upgrading from 19 to 20 was a must. While things aren’t perfect, and there is definitely room for growth, NHL 20 is a must own for hockey fans of all ages. The ‘regular’ modes you’ve come to love in EA Sports titles are slowly…

With Super Smash Bros Ultimate launching in a few weeks, Performance Design Products (PDP) is set to launch their Wired Fight Pad Pro Controllers in just a few days, so gamers can prep for the release of the game on December 7th. While the marketing around these controllers has focused on Smash Bros - because who doesn't want to play Smash Bros with a GameCube inspired controller! - it's easy to forget that these controllers can be used for other games too!

Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are all the rage now, and while the marketplace use to be dominated by Apple Air Pods and the Samsung Equivalent, more and more companies are getting in on the action, and everyone is in competition to see who can get the biggest piece of the market pie. The most shocking revelation while researching for this review is what people want in Bluetooth earbuds, and it wasn’t what I thought! Let’s dive into the Creative Outlier Air…

When large scale RPGs launch from our favorite developers, we all have a sense of what to expect, in terms of how the story might unfold, what kind of bugs we might encounter, and so on. When you load into games like Skyrim, for example, most people have an acceptable level of ‘jank’ that they come to expect from a massive open world experience. It blows my mind how we allow larger AAA titles to get away with these things,…

When times were much simpler, a game of checkers was an exciting opportunity for anyone. As one of the most iconic games of all time, it would be hard to find someone who has never played Checkers, at least once. Over time, however, things have drastically changed, and board games have become more in-depth; even older games, like Chess for example, are getting overhauls to make them more appealing to more advanced players. Think here of 3D chess, often seen…

When the publisher of The Angry Birds 2 Movie: Under Pressure VR asked if I wanted to review a copy of Angry Birds VR on PlayStation VR, without looking up trailers or videos, I was pretty sure I knew what this was going to be. With no movie knowledge, I figured I was in for Angry Birds, but in VR. You know, launching birds at structures and pigs. Well, I was wrong, but it all worked out in the end.…

We’ve reviewed our fair share of toys over the last number of years, including one of the most iconic construction toys on the entire planet: LEGO. Yet somehow, a new toy has entered the Roffel household that is like no other, that has captured the imagination of my kids, even weeks after we first opened it up. I’m talking about GraviTrax, a marble track STEM toy from Ravensburger, one that has already taken Europe by storm, and is now invading…

Friday the 13th The Game is a nostalgic throwback to the narratives of the Friday the 13th movie series set at Camp Crystal Lake that captures the essence of the movies and the genre. In this 1 v 7 multiplayer game, players play as one of the different versions of the killer, Jason Vorhees, from the Friday the 13th movies. Players can also opt to be one of up to camp counselors representing the classic horror movie tropes trying to…

Last week, Nintendo of Canada gave us the opportunity to play with the new Nintendo Switch Lite, and a number of their upcoming first party titles, including the much anticipated Luigi’s Mansion 3. Although I’ve never played Luigi’s Mansion personally, my wife has been a big fan ever since the original launched on the Nintendo GameCube. Although Luigi’s Mansion 2 didn’t grab her in the same way the original did, there is definite hype in our household for the ...
