Performance Design Products has recently launched their Energizer battery charging cradles for Xbox One and PS4. This is not to be confused with rapid charger that still has not received a release date. We reached out to PDP for more information on the charge cradles and they sent over a wealth of information.

The Spring Sale runs from now until March 28th and offers over 150 games at a reduced rate of up to 60% off. There were even some games with deals getting a greater percentage off. Xbox Live Gold subscribers can also get an additional 10% off on some titles.

In October 2015 Nintendo's brand new smartphone game was revealed to the world: Miitomo. Initial thoughts were mixed, even from me. The common consensus was that the app was just a toned down version of Tomodachi Life for your portable device. Well, the app just came out in Japan and I got my hands on the English version of it. So, what is Miitomo?

I've been toying with writing up articles on the best valued Video Games in specific categories. I think its worth discussing because as the price of games rises - at least here in Canada, where a new released comes in at 79.99 - 84.99 compared to 59.99 a few years ago - what we can afford as consumers drastically decreases. We go for value in our games. Value for an individual is often not a constant. For one person, an amazing story has lots of value, regardless of how long the game takes. For myself, I take everything into consideration, but my end desire ...

If you want to get your hands on Playstation VR, plan to be at a computer at 10:00 AM Eastern time. I have a feeling that, like Oculus, this will sell out...quickly. The pre-sale bundles will be exclusive to this initial preorder window, so if you plan on getting it on day one, perhaps preordering now would be a wise idea. Here is what is included, from Sony PR:

When I came on board with GamesReviews I was a nobody. I had just finished my Master's Degree at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. I was back at my dad's diesel shop working on trucks and tractors. This was just suppose to be a causal writing hobby job to keep me sharp as I looked for something more in my field.

BioShock: The Collection for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC has been rated in Taiwan. The name and cover art of the Bioshock: Collections suggests that all three games in the BioShock series with BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite will be included in the collection.

GDC is here, and so are the announcements. Sony has dropped an early bomb laying out the pricing for its new virtual reality device that is set to launch in October of this year. For 549.99 CAN, 399.99 USD, the new headset can be yours. From the press release:

When watching trailers and preview videos for We are the Dwarves on Steam, it was really hard not to get excited. It looked great, the game play was incredibly attractive, and despite a failed Kickstarter campaign, general hype was pretty high. So why then does it fall so flat? One of our reviewers spent considerable amounts of time with We are the Dwarves over the past week and a half, and pinpointed one major problem: and overtly steep and difficult learning curve.

You have to think it was going to happen eventually, but in my opinion, I thought that this would have come as one of the two console giants began to struggle. However, I think Microsoft gets the extra boost of credit as it appears as if they are reaching out to Sony to make this happen. One of the first games to get this treatment: Rocket League.
