With Google Stadia receiving a somewhat rocky release of high expectation, mixed reviews and the promise of many features to come, we here at GamesReviews have decided that as part of our overall review of the Google Stadia, we will be reviewing some of the most popular titles available on Stadia, from a perspective of how they perform on the system. Additionally, we will be releasing a comprehensive review of the platform itself – so keep your eyes out for…

Last fall, we reviewed Turtle Beach’s latest line of PC Gaming headsets, the ‘Atlas’ lineup. The flagship of the Atlas line was undoubtedly the Elite Atlas, featuring crisp surround sound, clear microphone audio, unrivaled comfort and durability and complete compatibility. All of this was provided at the very reasonable price point for a gaming headset of $100USD. Now, Turtle Beach has taken the Elite Atlas and gone wireless with the Elite Atlas Aero, coming in at $150USD. Is the wireless functionality worth the extra cost? Let’s take a look and find out!

A few months ago, Nintendo invited us to Toronto, Ontario to experience the Nintendo Switch Lite for the very first time. While our time with the device then was pretty short – we had about an hour or so to play a few upcoming Nintendo Switch titles – we did get to pump out a few early impressions, which I’ve copied below. Who’s Buying the Nintendo Switch Lite? Our first take from that preview was, “Who is buying a Nintendo…

The wireless Pro Controller from Nintendo is one of the best controllers available on the market, not only for the Nintendo Switch, but across all current generation systems. With the HD rumble and gyro controls, there really isn’t a controller like it. Unfortunately, all of that functionality comes with a heavy price tag, to a resounding 89.99 CAD in Canada. While not releasing a cheaper alternative, Nintendo has partnered with PowerA to release a set of Enhanced Wireless controllers, with…

While all LEGO sets are treated equally in the Roffel household when it comes to our likes and dislikes, a select few are elevated to ‘display’ status and find a prominent position on our shelf. An example would be the fantastic – and now retired – Wall-E set that was released a number of years ago. We found it, built it, and it has never left our living room shelf. We added another item to the shelf last week: the…

Thanks to our good friends at Zuru, we were able to take the Ninja X-Shot blasters for a spin and provide our view on the toys. While the blaster game has largely been dominated by NERF, other manufacturers have received the short end of the stick in terms of public perception, most notably that “only NERF blasters are good.” For the most part, that’s a statement I’ve probably agreed with myself over the years, but the second we started putting…

We just received our review unit from Google Canada on Monday, but have had plenty of time to mess around with Google’s new flagship phone, the Google Pixel 4 XL. Our time so far has been limited, nevertheless we feel comfortable knocking out our initial thoughts now. Although we have scored this review, please check back next week as we put a stamp on our experience, and make any changes (if necessary).

September 20th is a huge day for Nintendo Switch releases. Not only is the Nintendo Switch Lite out tomorrow, but Link’s Awakening and Ni No Kuni are coming out too! If you’re interested in the Nintendo Switch Lite, you should check out GamesReviews.com’s rundowns of the system here and here. You can find my thoughts on Link’s Awakening here or better yet check out the review of the game. And you can check out some thoughts on the PS4 Ni…

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!
