Thanks to the ongoing support of The LEGO Group, we have yet another great LEGO set to review! The full review of this set can be found on the The Nerdy Mouse Blog, but we want to share some snippets of that review here! Check it out!

When it comes to elite controllers, Microsoft hit it out of the park when they launched their high end controller a few years ago. Despite the high asking price of about 179.99, the controller was incredibly hard to find upon release, and people loved the ability to swap parts, and create a control specifically for them. Microsoft proved you can release an overly expensive item, and have success in the marketplace. But that controller is specific to the Xbox ...

The Pokemon Detective Pikachu movie is set to hit theatres in just a few weeks, and to celebrate the launch of the movie, The Pokemon Company International has released a special set of Pokemon cards. While the set only includes 18 cards + promos - for a total of around 25 cards - the cards within the set will not only be useful for your 60 card decks, but will also be a nice collectors item for those who enjoy the entire franchise.

When I first loaded up Days Gone, I was instantly excited about the premise of the game, the mode of transportation - despite how much I hate riding motorcycles in games - and the arc the game seemingly promised me early on. And during my 35ish hours so far - full disclosure, we have not finished Days Gone, but will in the next few days - it's been an up and down ride that provides more ups than downs. How does this game work when all it's pieces are moving ...

Despite the nauseous feeling I got after about 45 minutes of playing Skyrim VR, I quickly realized why there was so much hype around the PSVR, and why my various friends continue to tell me how much I needed this device. Now that I have on, I cannot get enough!

When the lights at Telltale went out last year, the first reaction of most people was to worry about the staff at the company, not only the jobs they would be losing – and many have found their feet and are being fantastically creative at other outlets – but also what would happen to the projects they so passionately poured time into. Many of the Walking Dead team moved to a new development team at Skybound Entertainment with the purpose…

I'm not a fan of high priced video game accessories. Consumers have already plunked down 400-500 dollars on the hardware itself, and often feel compelled to spend extra on quality headsets and the like. When Microsoft announced the Xbox One Elite Controller at a price point of 179.99 (in Canada), I shook my head and sighed. Who's going to buy this? Even the most hardcore of Xbox gamers surely don't need an overpriced accessory, do they?

It’s not every day that you get to break a world record, but to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Star Wars and LEGO working together, that is exactly what the two companies did. With 10s of thousands of Star Wars minifigurs, the two companies broke the record for most in one display, creating the iconic storm trooper helmet while doing so. This video from Beyond the Brick illustrates the work that went into the record nicely: World Record by ...

Nintendo LABO has been a fairly successful franchise for Nintendo ever since it was announced and released in 2018. From toy houses to fishing equipment, and now even to VR, Nintendo has taken the LABO idea, thrown in a bit of quality cardboard, and created something that seems really dumb, but provides hours of enjoyment!
