Google Nest Hub (Generation 2) Review

When Google first announced the nest hub a few years back, I had to have one for my kitchen - putting it in my room as an alarm clock never really crossed my mind, despite many folks doing it. But then we upgraded the kitchen display to a Nest Hub Max, and well...you can imagine how that was a big improvement with the bigger screen. That ultimately pushed the original Nest Hub to my wife and I's room, and while we liked having that, it started to feel a bit short on features and quality compared to other Google products we were adding to our home (like the ...

Creative SBS E2900 Bluetooth Speaker System

It is no secret that we are huge fans of Creative products at GamesReviews.com, having reviewed a ton (perhaps all?) of their products over the past few years. A few months back, they reached out again with the opportunity to review the Creative SBS E2900 Bluetooth Speaker System with subwoofer, and of course we jumped at the opportunity. This competitively priced system looks like a great addition to any computer or gaming setup, but does it work well enough, and can it compete with the big-kids in the marketplace that are more expensive? Let's take a look!

More Thoughts From Me #265: Closing Down the (Digital) Shop

This week we got rumors that the PS3/PSP/Vita digital stores will be shutting down this year. Usually I do not report or even talk about rumors. That said, the closing of those shops will happen sooner or later! What do I think of digital stores closing? Let’s dig into it. Its always tough when digital store fronts close down. We all know why this happens: digital stores take up server space for companies. They cost money to keep up and…

LEGO Vidiyo Review

Vidiyo from LEGO is their latest physical and digital LEGO product that combines the love of bricks with the love of video making and music. From the get go, the concept feels a bit weird and out of left field, but execution is fantastic. With a bunch of new and unique bricks to collect - many of which will have amazing uses well after the desire to play Vidiyo ends - this is an easy recommendation that may take a small leap of faith.

Secret Lab Titan Stealth Gaming Chair Review

With a multitude of gaming chair companies scattered around the globe, it's often hard to decide which chair will be the best fit for you. For many, it comes down to the price you pay, but that doesn't always paint a clear picture on which is the best. For example, if you have to buy two sub-par chairs for 299.99 each over a 10 year period, but only one quality chair for 499.99 in that same span, the choice seems very obvious. Secret Lab is definitely on the higher end of the gaming chair price spectrum, but the quality components, fantastic seats, and so ...

EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid Review

The Nintendo Switch has often lacked a solid Bluetooth / wireless audio accessory. There have been Bluetooth adapters on the marketplace - some of which we have really liked - but not one where the company legitimately marketed the product as a true Nintendo Switch accessory. Enter the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid, a high priced headphones product that is looking to not only change how we play on our Nintendo Switch units, but also how we use other USB enabled devices. Let's dive in!

2nd Generation Nest Hub – Similar Look, Brand New Features

We've been rocking the Google Nest Hub in our kitchen for well over a year now, just recently replacing it with a Nest Hub Max unit. We've since moved the original Nest Hub into our bedroom, but the new announcement of a second generation device from Google is making us think it's time for an upgrade, with a bunch of new features that are sure to be impressive if they work as intended.

LEGO Super Mario – Master Your Adventure Maker Set Review

If you've been following our LEGO Super Mario coverage on the site, or have been following me on Twitter over the past few years, you know that when the LEGO Super Mario collection was announced initially, I was incredibly skeptical and a bit vocal on social media about how I thought this LEGO line missed the mark completely with both LEGO and Nintendo fans. You might also remember me eating my words when I received my initial LEGO Group review drop with a few sets from Wave 1, including the starter kit. Now that we are onto Wave 2, I'm completely sold on the ...

SXFI GAMER Headset From Creative Shreds the Competition

A couple of years ago, Creative launched its Super X-Fi line of audio accessories that took the world by storm. Their superior audio quality and surround sound experience left us absolutely speechless. Last year, they released SXFI Gen2, which was an improved and expanded version that incorporated high accuracy in personalized profiles, more configuration options, better audio positioning and more. All of these features have been packed into the SXFI GAMER headset, which offers the same incredible audio experience paired with a professional-grade microphone ...

Master Your Adventure Maker Set a Good LEGO Buy

If you gave - or received - the Super Mario LEGO starter kit over the holidays, you are probably overwhelmed by the number of additional LEGO set packs you can purchase to supplement what you get with the starter kit. We've purchased and received for a review most of wave one, and really enjoyed what we got. As wave two launches, it's become quite obvious that after the starter kit, purchasing the Master Your Adventure Maker Set is easily the next thing you should buy, unless you are buying purely for displaying.
