Seen by many as simply a luxury, racer gaming chairs serve a much greater purpose than their style. Nobody can deny that these chairs were designed to be stylish, but that certainly comes secondary to the comfort and support that they offer. From someone who has spent a lot of time gaming in standard office chairs and even old wooden desk chairs, I can definitively say that gaming chairs are worth every ounce of hype they receive. Most of these chairs come in with a price point of $500+ and are out of range for many people. Ewin Racing, however, offers ...

The BlackBerry KEY 2 LE takes the greatest features of the BlackBerry KEY 2 and give it to consumers at a cheaper price. Moving from the 'mack daddy' version down to the little brother was something I was worried about doing, but after using the KEY 2 LE for over a month now, the features I thought I was missing from the regular version didn't seem that important. So while this review might read as a "what the KEY 2 LE lacks that the KEY 2 has," please don't look at it this way. This is a fantastic phone!

We review a ton of headsets on GamesReviews.com, and generally they are all doing things well, providing the features you would expect in a specific price range, and ultimately realizing that purchasing power comes down to brand loyalty, and at times, even things as trivial as colour schemes. Enter Turtle Beach's latest high quality, high priced headset: the Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp. While I originally wasn't sure why I'd want to hook my headset into and amp, which was then hooked into the Xbox One, I quickly realized how amazing this setup is.

Nintendo of America released a fun video yesterday that revealed their upcoming Black Friday deals. Take a look! The 2DS deal with Super Mario Maker for $79.99 (US) is a really great deal. I love that game. Also if you’re looking for a Nintendo Switch, you can’t go wrong with that deal with Mario Kart 8. What do you think of these deals?…

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.

My dad and I were planning to get a Playstation 4 for Christmas. I decided I wouldn’t say anything here. I didn’t want to jinx it. Then, unexpectedly, we got our Playstation 4 early. We also got Dragon Quest 11 for the system! In this More Thoughts From Me, I’ll tell you what I think of the Playstation 4 so far and my early thoughts on Dragon Quest 11. We have a Playstation 4 Slim! And…wow. Its a beautiful system.…

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.

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.
