Last year, Turtle Beach launched the Elite Pro Gaming headset which worked across the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it was actually a unit one of our reviewers purchased at the time, but never wrote a review on. His thoughts overall that it was a better than average headset at about the right price point, although there was always a bit of discomfort from wearing the unit for long periods of time. When Turtle Beach announced they would be launching a PC Specific Elite Pro headset, I was instantly intrigued and reached out to them for a review sample. After using ...

The New 2DS XL will launch next week alongside two brand new games to the 3DS Family of systems: Miitopia and Hey! Pikmin. We've only had our New 2DS XL for a few days now, but are ready to tell you what we think of Nintendo's latest hardware device. Many expected Nintendo to kill of the 3DS entirely and focus its efforts on the Nintendo Switch, but with games releasing well into 2018 - including new Pokémon and Mario titles - it looks like the 3DS and related systems are here to stay for the time being. The ultimate question will be: should I upgrade to the ...

Thanks to Xbox Canada, we got the chance to experiment with the Xbox Design Lab online software to create our own controller for the Xbox One (which we will review when it arrives). After receiving our credit for the review, I figured getting a controller designed would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, a few hours later, I realized how wrong I was. Using the Xbox Design Lab software is both exciting and frustrating, not because of how the software works, but because of the number of options Microsoft offers to you!

If you haven't had a chance to look at our LEGO Worlds review, I strongly suggest you give it a read! It is a fantastic game with almost endless possibilities, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and the LEGO Group have done an excellent job continuing to add new content to the experience to make it bigger and better than ever before. Available now is the new Classic Space DLC, bringing to life many of those old, retired LEGO sets you probably enjoyed playing with as a child.

Our overall review of Splatoon 2 is up on the site and readable here, but we thought we would do some extended, more in depth looks at some of the specific modes in the game. First up is Salmon Run, the one mode I was most critical of in my review. Frankly, the content of Salmon Run was not what was disappointing, but rather, the limited playability of the mode itself. However, after seeing what plans Nintendo has for this mode, and how often it will be available, I am willing to rescind some of that criticism.

NEW YORK, July 19, 2017 – R.B.I.

This latest edition of R.B.I.

Nintendo Switch Online application is ready to be downloaded now, and although there won't be much to do until Splatoon 2 launches this Friday, it's still great to grab the application, link your Nintendo ID, and be ready for the fun that is to come. Since we've had a copy of Splatoon 2 for more than a week now, we've been able to see some of what you can exepct from the SplatNet application, specifically for Splatoon 2.

It's been a little while since we dove in and looked at a standalone speaker system from Creative. Our last few speaker reviews have all been of the Bluetooth and NFC variety, so to get back to traditional speakers is amazing! The Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 speaker from Creative has been available for a while, but still is a great system for the low price of 129.99. This PC setup will make a great addition to anyone's office space, and although we have a few issues with the system as a whole, it's a worthwhile investment for a low range surround sound system.
