Recently our friend Will in Canada had a chance to review the largest Ewin Racing chair available, the Flash-XL Gaming Chair, so we were bit surprised when we were contacted by Ewin again this time from their EU department. After a short conversation we agreed that our guys in Europe should have a chance to test the product as well considering there might be some differences with the product on the other side of the globe. It only made sense…

The Rival 710 gaming mouse from SteelSeries is a sleek, new mouse that boasts a variety of unique and high-end features such as Tactile Alerts for quick notifications, swappable parts for performance customization, split-trigger mechanical switches, TrueMove3 optical sensor for pinpoint tracking accuracy and an OLED screen for in-game stats. While this may seem a lot to pack into one mouse, at a price point of $129.99 CAD (~$100USD) one should expect to see quite a few bells and whistles attached.

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.

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.

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.

SteelSeries, global leader in gaming peripherals, recently announced the release of their latest limited edition peripherals that were featured at the FACEIT Major in London. This included a Howl Edition of both the Rival 310 gaming mouse and QcK+ Limited mousepad, both sporting the immensely popular Howl M4A4 gun skin from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Top gaming headset and audio accessory producer Turtle Beach has just announced the release of ‘Atlas’, their newest line of PC gaming headsets. This new line is comprised of three different models; the Elite Atlas for pro-level performance, the Atlas Three for powerful amplified sound, and the Atlas One which delivers true versatility and great value.

Last night, Sony announced that they will be coming out with their own mini console (like the NES and SNES Classic). The Playstation Classic will be a small version of the PS1 and have twenty games built in. Check out the video announcement below, along with more details and my thoughts on the device. Playstation Classic will be coming out on December 3rd, 2018. It will cost $99 US (CAD$129.99), have twenty games built in, a USB cable, an HDMI…

Today, Creative Labs announced the launch of the Sound BlasterX: G6 external all purpose external sound card and ampliphier, with the ultimate goal of turning your less than stellar headset into a device that rival headsets that cost hundreds of dollars more. We've had the opportunity to use the G6 for over a week now, and are incredibly impressed with the results!
