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!

The LEGO Group has launched 5 new sets to commemorate the 20th anniversary of LEGO and Star Wars partnering together.

Another spring season means another year of Major League Baseball, and outside of death and taxes, you can always count on a MLB The Show experience to go along with opening day. While many sports franchises rise and fall between safe bet releases and games that push the envelope, MLB The Show has been on a steady rise for a number of years now. While 2019 marks their most ‘safe’ release in the last number of year, there is still…

Over the past number of years, I cannot tell you the number of times that I have purchased and played Stardew Valley, across multiple devices. I own it on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC, and now even on Android. Despite few updates over the last little while, I still see myself beginning new farm after new farm, and loving every minute of it. My initial reaction to Stardew Valley coming to Android was relatively optimistic, but of course there were…

If you've been staying tuned to GamesReviews over the past little while you know there is a lot of hype around our offices for the Detective Pikachu movie. Alongside the movie release, the Pokemon Company International is also launching products and cards for fans to enjoy. Here is a breakdown of what is launching today:

I've always been a sucker for RTS style games and even the worst titles have a hold on me that I cannot always describe. When the chance to review Warparty came across my desk, I was excited about the prospect. While there is definietly more issues with Warparty than I would have liked, ultimately I enjoyed what was provided. Understand my enjoyment as a crazed-RTS fan might not meet your standards. As a friend of mine stated after playing, "This is a hard pass ...

It’s been over a decade since Assassin’s Creed 3 first landed on consoles around the world, and it was disappointing day for everyone involved, yes even for Ubisoft. While the concept of taking the Assassin’s v. Templar battle to the colonies of North America seemed like a fantastic idea – and in reality, it was – the execution was short of deplorable, with glitches beyond counting, graphical inconsistencies, and complete breakdowns. It had all the makings of a ...

There are few games in the video game marketplace that pack as much charm as Yoshi titles, and with each subsequent release, Nintendo pushes the boundaries just a little bit further. I thought they had hit the top when they launch Yoshi's Wooly World; how could that creativity and cuteness be topped! I know how: Yoshi's Crafted World, an all ages accessible title that will be enjoyed by everyone. But just because we think it could have universal appeal, doesn’t ...
