Civilization 6 on iPhone is Still Fantastic
Despite the small screen size and clutter user interface, playing Civilization 6 on the iPhone was still a fantastic experience, which is forcing me to backtrack comments I made via twitter about the game. We all know how fantastic the Civilization franchise is, and it's been a staple on the PC for over a decade. Now with the franchise available on iPhone and iPad, consoles, and the PC, there literally is no excuse for anyone to not give the game a try.

Gaming has always been ripe for exploration when it comes to other forms of media.

Syberia 3
Syberia 3 is an adventure game in the vain of King’s Quest or more recently, Thimbleweed, but without the humor and a ton more puzzles to solve.

Before you start Syberia 3, make sure you watch ‘the previously on Syberia’ video. Syberia 3 does not introduce Kate Walker and throws you right…

Team Sonic Racing Delayed
Team Sonic Racing was expected soon (December), but we found out today via the official Sonic Twitter that the game has been delayed till May 21, 2019. Take a look at the tweet below and then come back for my thoughts on this delay. I’m not sure what to think of this delay.

Google Pixel 3 XL – Notch Issues?
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.

AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra Review
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.

How does it work? Let's dive in!
