Press Release: Project Cars 2 Demo Available Now; DLC coming Winter 2017
Project Cars 2 has been on of the better racing games to release in 2017, and there have been a lot of them. During our time with the game earlier this fall, we felt that the second iteration of this fairly new franchise was leaps and bounds better than the original, and were glad Bandai Namco stuck with it for another installment. For those who have shown interest, but are unsure if they want to spend the money, Bandai Namco announced today that they are releasing a demo for Project Cars 2 on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, to celebrate the soon-to-release launch of the games first DLC pack! Check out the press release below, and get your demo on the Xbox One store or PlayStation store today!

Xbox One X Coverage – Farming Simulator 2017 Platinum Edition
Farming Simulator 2017 is a very niche title, and although the majority of people likely won't enjoy what the game has to offer, it is easily one of my favorite franchises on console, and I eagerly await the new released, which lately seem to be about bi-yearly. Just last week, Giants Software released Farming Simulator 2017 Platinum Edition, and although this version can be purchased in the stores, all previous owners of Farming Simulator 2017 Season Pass were able to get the upgrade at no additional charge. While the 4K improvements are what I showed up for, I was surprised to see an all new map, new tractors, and so much more.

Nintendo Switch – Christmas Showcase 2017 Video
The Nintendo has released a lot of big games this year for the Nintendo Switch. If you are not too familiar with the Switch or if your head is just spinning from all the games, Nintendo Australia has you covered with a new holiday showcase video. The video does not cover all the games released for the Switch this year -what video could!-but it shows off the big ones that Nintendo released. All of these games are great but my…

Review in Progress – Samsung Series 7 55inch Q7 UHD QLED TV
For the majority of people, a television set is, well, a televisions set, and while you might notice the size difference between an LCD and an LED, or perhaps the brightest differences between a plasma and a non-plasma TV, the reality is the majority of people won't know whether they are watching on a great TV versus a phenomenal TV. Prior to receiving the Samsung Series 7 55inch Q7 UHD QLED TV from Samsung Canada, I was using your average Sharp, LED HD TV. I was happy with it, but when my Xbox One X arrived from Xbox Canada, I knew that the Sharp I had been using for the past 3 years wasn't going to cut it.

Worms W.M.D Out Today on Nintendo Switch
There is more in the air than just thanksgiving, at least for Worms fans. Worms W.M.D launches today on the Nintendo Switch for 29.99. We reviewed W.M.D last year on the Xbox One and where not entirely thrilled with the title at the 29.99 price point. That being said, having the ability to take Worms on the go is definitely an added bonus over the other console versions of the game, making the 29.99 price point much more digestible. We will be reviewing Worms W.M.D on Nintendo Switch, and that should be ready next week. Until then, take a look at this press release from Team 17!

New Premium Drones Feature Integrated HD Cameras with 2-Axis Image Stabilization at An Astonishing Price
We love our hardware and gadgets at GamesReviews.com, and although they don't dominate our web space, we know based on hits that people really enjoy them. So, why not cover a new drone, right? The Phoenix HD and Phoenix HD Pro S are hitting the market soon at the astonishing price of 179.99 and 229.99 respectably. If you are familiar with what drones can cost, you'd say this is the average, run-of-the-mill pricing for a drone with a camera. Once you unpack the details, however, you begin to see the value even before the product makes it to your home!

Xbox One X Coverage: Call of Duty: World War II
The Call of Duty franchise has had its many ups and downs over the past decade, but overall, most would agree that the various development companies responsible for the franchise have moved in a positive direction over those years. They tackled the two World Wars, and than began moving into modern combat operations. Things were going well, although people began getting tired of the high tech, gadget loaded options in the newer titles, and began requesting a return to a simpler, military time: World War II. And the developers delivered masterfully, bringing a beautiful and emotional experience to the Xbox One X earlier this month.

Snipperclips Plus a Welcome Addition to the Original Title
Snipperclips is easily one of my favorite, budget titles to release on Nintendo Switch to date. The idea of playing with someone else - although much less fun, can also be done solo - to cut each other into shapes to solve puzzles is fantastic, and the only problem with the original release was that there just wasn't enough of it. My wife and I blew through the initial worlds offered in the game, and while the multiplayer modes were fun, they didn't quite hit the highs that the campaign did. When Nintendo of Canada reached out and offered us an opportunity to try the expansion, we jumped!

More Thoughts From Me #95: My First Trip to Skyrim
I was going to write about what (and who) in gaming I was thankful for this year but honestly, I just don’t feel like writing a list like that this year. Sorry. I am thankful for many of you though, especially Adam Roffel, Games Reviews, and some other wonderful people I mentioned on twitter. I am @df2506 there (plug, plug), please follow me. And Adam & Games Reviews and the other people I mentioned. Ok? So what is this column…

Nintendo Continuing Great Year with Splatoon Update
Nintendo has a hit on their hands, and they know it. And no, I'm not talking about the Nintendo Switch, but rather, Splatoon 2, the sequel to the fast selling and much played Splatoon from the Wii U days. Nintendo has done a lot wrong over the past 5 years - fixed almost entirely by the Nintendo Switch - but one thing they've done right, which every one else has failed, is continuing to support their titles well after launch, with free content. This week, Nintendo is rolling out brand new content for Splatoon 2 that will bring new weapons, items, and maps for players to explore.
