Turtle Beach Burst II Pro Review

This isn’t your average gaming mouse—it’s a piece of hardware designed to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your setup. Turtle Beach has been making waves in the audio space for years, but with the Burst II Pro, they’re clearly aiming to dominate the competitive mouse market too. The first thing you notice when you pick…

Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL Review

The Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL is one of those keyboards that makes you stop and stare at the moment you take it out of the box. It’s sleek, modern, and has that premium vibe thanks to its brushed aluminum top plate. The tenkeyless layout means it’s compact enough to free up desk space, which is a big win if you’re gaming on a smaller setup or just like a cleaner workspace. But looks aren’t everything—how does it actually feel…

Tricky Kids Board Game Review

Trick taking games are generally not my thing, but when they are either A) cooperative, or B) unique, I’m interested in what they offer. Tricky Kids is tricky but is not for kids, as you’ll be using a dry erase marker to add your own number to cards. That is definitely unique, so it was something I really wanted to try out! There are three suits in Tricky Kids, but none of the cards have numbers on them. That is…

HELLO KITTY ISLAND ADVENTURE NOW AVAILABLE FOR NINTENDO SWITCH 2

Hello Kitty Island Adventure has been available for a little while now on the Nintendo Switch, and our reviewer Daniel Fugate has really enjoyed his time with the game. The experience is now available (officially) on Nintendo Switch 2! In his review of Island Adventure, Daniel had this to say, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a very addictive game, with lots of stuff to do. Is it perfect? No, the multiplayer is lacking key features like texting and being able…

Mafia: The Old Country Review (Xbox Series X|S)

Having played all the Mafia games to date I was excited and ready for the next installment. Mafia: The Old Country is an essential journey back to 1900s Sicily, serving as a powerful, character focused story that explores the Torrisi crime family. Hangar 13 deliberately steers away from the sprawling open world excess of its predecessor, Mafia III, opting instead for a tight, linear, and deeply cinematic experience reminiscent of the series’ earliest entries. It succeeds wildly in its narrative…

Flamecraft A Fantastic Experience on Steam in Alpha

Flamecraft’s arrival on Steam marks an exciting step for fans of cozy strategy games and the beloved tabletop original. This digital adaptation is currently in alpha, which means what we’re seeing now is an early look at its potential rather than the final product. Even so, the foundation is strong, and there’s plenty to talk about! From the moment you launch the game, the art direction grabs your attention. The hand-painted aesthetic that defined the board game has been lovingly…

Back Into Vantage: A Follow-Up to the Shut Up & Sit Down Review

Sometimes yesterday, the popular board game review channel Shut Up & Sit Down dropped a review of Vantage, and while the beginning of the video obviously dripped with sarcasm, the game ultimately didn’t work for the review team over there for a variety of reasons. There wasn’t enough going on story wise, some of the cards felt very much the same, just with different art, and the game ultimately came down to stashing dice on cards. I love Shut Up…

One Plus Watch 3 Review

We are big fans of smart watches in our home, and after using a number of different watches from a number of different companies, we realized that all are doing about the same stuff, so it is the little things that separates one watch from another. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we actually got to spend a lot more time with the OnePlus Watch 3 prior to writing this review than we normally do, but that time has only…
