When you look across Performance Design Products list of Pixel Pals, one thing should immediately strike you: how many difference franchises the company has been able to work with, bringing their figures to pixel form. From DC to Marvel, and from Nintendo to Sony, everyone seems to be getting on board with the wonderfully crafted, light up collectibles. They have been, and still remain, a very hot collectible. Many of the early models are difficulty to obtain, and as more and more 3rd parties sign on to be partners, the list will continue to grow!

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to review the Charge:Tower Pro units for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 courtesy of Snakebyte. While we commended both units as being excellent storage solutions and dual charging units, we indicated that it came at a cost: space. As more and more people move towards a completely digital library, the need for towers to hold games is becoming less and less necessary. Enter an alternative product from Snakebyte: the Twin:Charge 4 for PlayStation 4 and the Twin:Charge X for Xbox One.

Recently, GamesReviews.com got connected with Gamer2Go and were offered a free product, a custom PS4 controller. When the Overwatch themed controller arrived at our door, I was flabbergasted. As these controllers do come from overseas, the wait time for it to arrive was expectedly long, but the second I pulled the cover off the box, I knew the wait was 100% worth it!

When reviewing cellphones, you quickly realize that companies are all trying to cater to a specific audience, marketing phones to those people, and not worrying about the larger market. In a world dominated by Apple and Samsung, other companies - such as BlackBerry, Google, and more - are left trying to make sure their product pops, and is more attractive than something else. For BlackBerry, it was all about creating a business-like device, high on security, and long lasting. For Google, and the Pixel 2, I think the goal is entertainment. We've spent a good 2 ...

We've been reviewing a fair number of Snakebyte products over the last little while, although they have been all for the Nintendo Switch. The Snakebyte Charge:Tower Pro for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are the first items we've reviewed from this company not related to Nintendo. If our early impressions of both products is any indication, we will be purchasing more Snakebyte products for Xbox One and PS4 in the near future! Let's check them out!

One of the downsides of the Nintendo Switch is that when on the go, the battery might not always last as long as you might like it, especially when on long car rides or while flying. This can be remedied by having a nexternal battery and a USB-C cable, but that can become a clunky mess, and add extra items you then need to be accountable for. Enter the Power Pack from Snakebyte, a light weight battery pack that clips to the back of your Nintendo Switch, extending the life of your system while on the go. With it's built in stand, it is the perfect travel ...

One of the reasons most people shy away from smart watches is the assumed battery life such a device could have. Some of the fancy, higher tech devices require a charge every day and a half - which ultimately means you are charging every night to avoid it dying mid day. Even watches that claim to track your sleep become unusable as most individuals are popping them on the chargers overnight, limiting some of the watches functionality that consumers paid for. So far, after about a month with the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, I haven't run into a single battery ...

I tried and failed to get an NES Classic. Then the SNES Classic came out and I failed to get that too. I thought I’d never get either one of them. And then early last week, Amazon had a Lightning deal on the SNES Classic. I managed to finally buy an SNES Classic! Now that I’ve played with the system some, is the SNES Classic worth all this trouble? How are the games on the system? How do they play?…

I've not had a ton of experience using drones in my lifetime, but when given the opportunity to take Zoopa's latest for a spin, I couldn't resist. With a large open park next to my home, flying the drone around while my kids played was an excellent excuse to do this review! From putting the device together, to flying it, it was way less difficult than I ever imagined. Although everything about this drone is not perfect, it's still a great product for under 200$ USD!

So…we had a Nintendo Direct last week. It was Nintendo Direct Mini to be exact. During that Direct, we got some new announcements. A lot of people that I follow seemed to like the Direct. I heard there were people who didn’t like it, but I never saw those comments. Well, ok, I did see those comments from one person: myself. I didn’t care for the Direct. I stated why in this article. However, I want to talk about that…
