We’ll say it again and louder for those in the back: THE 3DS ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON. Need more proof? Nintendo of America announced another New Nintendo 3DS XL model today! The new system is a “Samus Edition” model. Samus is the main character of Metroid. The system will be coming out the same day as Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS. The Samus Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL will be out on September 15, the same day as…

Steel Series announced today that they would be releasing two new mouse options to the competitive gaming marketplace. The Rival 310 and the Sensie 310 are available now via the Steel Series website for a meager 69.99 USD! For what these mice are promising to do, the price point seems fantastic. We will have a full review of these units when they arrive to us, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on the glorious details!

The 3DS family has had a great summer with big releases: Ever Oasis, Hey! Pikmin, Miitopia, and the New 2DS XL. But the summer fun doesn’t stop there! Today, Nintendo announced their releases for August and September. Let’s see what they’ll release! The New 2DS XL is a cool looking system, but not everyone has enough money to get one. Perhaps, a regular 2DS is your speed? If so, you may want to hold off buying one right now. Why?…

Last year, Turtle Beach launched the Elite Pro Gaming headset which worked across the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it was actually a unit one of our reviewers purchased at the time, but never wrote a review on. His thoughts overall that it was a better than average headset at about the right price point, although there was always a bit of discomfort from wearing the unit for long periods of time. When Turtle Beach announced they would be launching a PC Specific Elite Pro headset, I was instantly intrigued and reached out to them for a review sample. After using ...

The New 2DS XL will launch next week alongside two brand new games to the 3DS Family of systems: Miitopia and Hey! Pikmin. We've only had our New 2DS XL for a few days now, but are ready to tell you what we think of Nintendo's latest hardware device. Many expected Nintendo to kill of the 3DS entirely and focus its efforts on the Nintendo Switch, but with games releasing well into 2018 - including new Pokémon and Mario titles - it looks like the 3DS and related systems are here to stay for the time being. The ultimate question will be: should I upgrade to the ...

Thanks to Xbox Canada, we got the chance to experiment with the Xbox Design Lab online software to create our own controller for the Xbox One (which we will review when it arrives). After receiving our credit for the review, I figured getting a controller designed would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, a few hours later, I realized how wrong I was. Using the Xbox Design Lab software is both exciting and frustrating, not because of how the software works, but because of the number of options Microsoft offers to you!

It's been a little while since we dove in and looked at a standalone speaker system from Creative. Our last few speaker reviews have all been of the Bluetooth and NFC variety, so to get back to traditional speakers is amazing! The Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 speaker from Creative has been available for a while, but still is a great system for the low price of 129.99. This PC setup will make a great addition to anyone's office space, and although we have a few issues with the system as a whole, it's a worthwhile investment for a low range surround sound system.

The New Nintendo 2DS XL is coming out next week. Check out this new launch trailer for the system! The New Nintendo 2DS XL will be out on July 28th. In my opinion, this system looks like the best version of the 3DS yet. The system is very sleek and slim. The screens are huge and the system’s colors, blue & black, look great. If you don’t care about 3D, then then the New 2DS XL looks like the best…

Over the past few months, we've reviewed more hardware and peripherals than we can shake a stick at, but from everything we have done - headsets, speakers, entertainment systems, and toys - we've never had the pleasure of looking at one of the more expensive items you can buy for your gaming setup: the elusive gaming chair!
