A few weeks ago, our good friends at Google Canada sent over the Google Pixel 3 for us to review, and we've been doing so over the last number of weeks. The biggest changes to the device come within the camera options, which we dive into deeper here. Ultimately, we found the Google Pixel 3 XL to be a brilliant phone with a few potentially problematic issues, so let's dive in and see if this phone will be right for you!

Thanks to our good friends at SteelSeries, I recently was given an Arctis 5 headset to review, and I must say that my first impressions were very mixed. It didn’t look flashy, it had a middle-of-the-road feel for both weight and sturdiness and it wasn’t wireless. From someone whose baseline headset is the Logitech G933, it was the exact opposite of what I had become used to. After using the headset for 30+ hours, however, my opinion on it has done a complete reversal.

While we work away on our Google Pixel 3 XL review, we wanted to quickly touch base on the notch controversy. In case you are not familiar, many people are questioning the size of the notch on the Google Pixel 3 XL; by notch, they are talking about the area on the top of the phone screen 'notched' out to accommodate some internal features, most notably here the dual selfie cameras and the large, front facing stereo speaker.

I've wanted to launch a YouTube video for a long time now, but have always been a bit weary of getting into it because of the high costs, and perceived associated costs with getting everything you need to get started. It's daunting, and pulling the trigger on the necessary equipment can be costly, and time consuming as you research the different options available to you.

A couple weeks ago I wrote a news article about the exciting release of Turtle Beach’s latest line of PC Gaming headsets which promised to bring PC gaming audio accessories to a new level. I recently got my hands on the Atlas One and Elite Atlas headsets to put them to the test. I broke down the headsets’ performance into numerous categories when analyzing them for review: Sound Quality, Microphone Quality, Comfort, Durability, Compatibility and Overall Value.

Mobile phones are in our hands 70-80 percent of the day, so more and more companies are looking to create phones that look as good as they run. The Google Pixel 3 is no different than other smartphones, with a unique design that denotes that you are indeed using a Google product.

Last week, our good friends at Google Canada sent us a #GiftFromGoogle that included a Google Pixel 3 XL, a Google Pixel Charging Stand, and the Google Pixel 3 XL official case. Over the past few days, we've been putting the phone through its paces, and are happy to say that overall, we are incredibly impressed with the latest from Google. While we haven't had the device long enough to put a final score and verdict on it quite yet, we wanted to talk about a few of our favorite feature so far, beginning with the all new Camera features.

I’ve never been a big proponent of Chromebooks for various reasons, mostly because I often found them under powered for what I wanted to do. But after taking the Pixelbook from Google for a spin, my tune on the product and its usefulness completely changed. While never meant to be a primary device, the Google Pixelbook has been an excellent companion device for the running of GamesReviews.com, and now I cannot even imagine keeping things up and running without it.
