When you mention to people that you are reviewing a BlackBerry device in late 2017, it will likely shock a lot of people. In terms of cellphones, the once dominate brand of BlackBerry doesn't carry the same weight it use to. Although the last few cellphone releases from this company haven't been the homerun BlackBerry was hoping for, they've really stepped up their game in 2017 with the release of the BlackBerry Motion and the BlackBerry KEYone. Both phones are bringing better than average components at a fairly cheap price, when you compare them to other ...

Gaming’s had a pretty bad wrap for a pretty long, what with all the stuff back in the day about it inspiring kids to turn into raging psychopaths, down to the more generic “gaming makes you a shut in nerd” stereotype from more recent times.

Dragon Quest Builders is coming to Nintendo Switch in February 2018, and it was announced recently that Nintendo would be the publisher behind the title. Dragon Quest Builders first launched on PlayStation 4 early in 2017, with fairly favorable reviews from critics around the globe.

While some companies – namely Nintendo – haven’t jumped onto this bandwagon yet, others have, including Google and Apple, through their mobile gaming platforms. People want to feel like they are accomplishing something, and most games today give them that satisfaction.…

I've been a long-time fan of ARK: Survival Evolved, and when Xbox released users statistics for 2017, it was no surprise to me that ARK was my most played game this year. The big draw to me for ARK is the gameplay, being able to jump into a game with friends, building crazy structures, taming a legion of dinosaurs, and exploring a huge open world is more important to me than graphical superiority.

Far Cry 5 is Ubisoft's next highly anticipated title in the Far Cry series, and this time around, the developers are tagging America as its playground for some crazy, over the top mayhem. The early looks and videos of Far Cry have been spectacular, detailing a bit of the back story - a religious cult attempting to take over America - as well as some of the gameplay, which surprisingly includes fishing.

A box arrived from BlackBerry Canada yesterday, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect of the contents.

At that time, I was rocking two cellphones: one for work, one for my personal use. The system worked, but handling two phones at once ...
