The LEGO Group is bridging the gap between digital and physical play with a new wave of exciting gaming-themed sets, allowing kids to bring their favorite virtual adventures to life in a whole new way. This announcement comes on the heels of a recent study revealing that 71% of parents say their children enjoy merging digital and physical play experiences. Recognizing this trend, The LEGO Group is expanding its already impressive range of gaming sets based on popular franchises like…

Considering its manufacturer is best known for flashy, gamer-oriented accessories, Razer's Barracuda X headset is the last thing you might expect, stylistically. Do not be fooled by its modest appearance, however, as this is one headset that boasts serious multi-platform compatibility. The Barracuda X accepts both wired and wireless connections (through its own USB-C dongle) that is compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Android mobile devices. Very reminiscent of Razer's Opus line, the Barracuda offers a seamless comfort with little to no ...

Recently, ROCCAT released their new line of headsets - the 'Elo' lineup. Featuring a wired 3.5mm Stereo model, a wired USB 7.1 model and a wireless Bluetooth 7.1 model, the Elo lineup is extremely versatile. As ROCCAT is a brand owned by Turtle Beach (which focuses on PC peripherals), there are a number of Turtle Beach technologies to be found within. We got a chance to try all three headsets and are ready to let you know which one you should consider snagging! 

We have been working through our review of the Google Pixel 4a, and have basically come to the conclusion that it is the best, mid-market cell phone currently available to purchase. From stellar battery life to a fantastic camera, the phone does basically everything you'd want, without the unnecessary processing power and high price tag. But ultimately at GamesReviews, we always end up talking about games. After a month or so of playing various games on the Google Pixel 4a, will it deliver a solid gaming experience?

E3 is dead, long live E3. Well, okay, E3 is dead this year. We don’t know if it’ll be back next year or not. What we do know is that some companies still want to show off their games. And so we got digital events this month. I want to talk about a couple of them!   There was no E3 this year but we did get several digital only events like Summer Games Fest, whatever IGN was doing, and…

There is no denying that the video game industry is in a rather unique position right now. Sony and Microsoft are both preparing to launch their next iteration of consoles. Nintendo continues to enjoy the popularity of the Switch and the Switch Lite has been well received too. PC gamers are starting to see an influx of games that they might have thought they’d never see. There’s no better time to be a gamer, right? It’s true, as a gamer,…

Most of us view the internet as a stationary entity that surrounds our lives. The truth is that ever since the internet exploded in popularity it has been in constant evolution. It is better described as a living being that grows and changes without hesitation. All of this growth means that every day, we are able to experience things that were previously impossible. New and exciting technologies are developed and released on a daily basis, and with them come endless opportunities. One of the largest areas that benefits from all of this is online gaming.

Lately, there has been a lot of buzz around the latest in audio technology to come from Creative, the SXFI AIR headphones. In fact, they even won 15 Best of CES awards for 2019. But what is it about Creative’s SXFI AIR that makes it so unique and worthy of all this attention?  The term that is being used to describe the edge that the Super X-Fi AIR has over its competitors is called Holographic Audio. While hearing this phrase for the first time might conjure images of Star Trek-ian technology, Holographic Audio, when broken down to its simplest form, is the ...

Satisfactory belongs to a genre of games that I like to call “comfy crafters”.  That is, as you spend a long weekend building a sprawling industrial plant that grows ever out of control, you take a moment to step back and look at what you have created.  Standing on a planet all alone with no other life forms to share this world with naught but the native flora and fauna, you breathe deeply and stare off like Shrek at the beginning of his first film, gazing at his swamp as the first bars of 'All Star' play. It feels like home.

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the Next Level Video Game Convention in Mississauga, Ontario. Next Level is one of Canada’s newer gaming conventions, and while it is certainly on the smaller end of the scale, I believe the staff at Next Level used this to their utmost advantage. Instead of being packed into a convention hall like sardines, I had actual room to move around at Next Level VGC and never felt rushed or in someone else’s way. This combined with the wide array of features offered to make for a refreshing experience.
