So, we have all heard of tech deck I think at some point, and surprisingly they are still around. They have in the past utilized different skate brands throughout the years to utilize their designs and options. But this time gaming icon Tony Hawk is getting hands…errr fingers on. So, what could possibly be different on Hot Wheels take on a 20+ year old product? In a partnership with legendary skateboarder and entrepreneur, Tony Hawk, the Hot Wheels brand continues…

If you grew up in the late 80s or early to mid 1990s, you are either pushing your 30s now or are just over the hump. LEGO - whether on purpose or by accident - is beginning to cater to this generation of fans by releasing a number of nostalgic LEGO sets that are either based on sets from the past, or some of our favourite experiences from that decade. Let's take a quick look at three LEGO sets that will definitely get your nostalgic juices flowing!

Not every Playmobil set we review is huge, and not every Playmobil set we review is great for multiple kids at once. I do enjoy that Playmobil has these smaller sets, because not only are they a good price, but they are a good value as well. We've looked at a lot of Dino Rise sets in the past, so why not look at another. Here is my deep dive on Dino Rise - Pteradon Attack!

When I had heard that Stonemaier games had the publishing right to Libertalia, and that they were going to release a brand new verison of the game, I was really excited. I had actually played the original Libertalia, and it looked as if Stonemaier was going to improve upon the original? How does it all shake down? Is it worth double dipping, or picking up for the first time? Let's take a look!

More Playmobil, more great fun! This time my kids and I stepped outside the world of reality - from looking at the Fire Rescue ship and Mini Cooper - and entered the world of dinosaurs! We've looked at Dino Rise in the past, but not on this scale. The Saichania: Invasion of the Robot set is pretty big, and includes all you need for at least two people to play for hours. Let's take a look!

I hope you are not getting tired of seeing Playmobil on the website, because we have a lot more coming! This time, we are taking a look at the City Action Fire Rescue and Personal Watercraft (70140) that includes two boats, 4 figures, and tons of little gadgets to keep you fans buys for hours. While this set doesn't have the same "display" qualities as the Mini Cooper we recently reviewed, it has its own pros that make it one of the better sets available this holiday season!

Although it is not quite Halloween yet, it's ok to talk about Christmas time, right? This holiday, finding the right gifts and stocking stuffers for your older kids might be a bit difficult, but if you have Rocket League fans in the house, there is no need to worry. The brand new Rocket League Micro RC Cars are the perfect size to slide into a stocking, or great for under the tree. My kids have been playing with these for about a week now, and it's been non-stop action.

It's been well over a year since LEGO Super Mario first launched, and again, I must admit my error when I said the franchise would be a total flop based on the chunky characters you play with. LEGO Super Mario has been a massive hit, and the third playable character has finally launched, Princess Peach. While the Adventures with Peach Starter Course is similar to that of Mario and Luigi, I do think it's the best of the bunch if you are just getting started. Let's look at why

If there is one thing we enjoy at the Roffel house it's the Christmas season. Friends and family visiting, stockings, and of course, the tree. We always put up two trees each year - one 'adult' tree with beautiful ornaments and an obvious theme, and one 'kids' tree, which is just a mishmash of gifted ornaments and other cool little trinkets. We've always wanted to get a Christmas train to run around the base of the kids tree, but the plastic ones you find at the story were always to cheaply made and would break easily. Then we saw the winter train from Brio, ...

Over the past few years, GamesReviews has had the pleasure of reviewing a number of different toys from a number of different companies. One stands out much higher than the rest - Gravitrax. Having kids was great because I was able to relive some of the great toys and concepts from my childhood. One of those toys was the marble track - the ones I had as a kid were pretty basic, with large coloured tracks stacking together to make a neat, although sometimes boring creation. While Gravitrax keeps the spirit of the marble track alive, it does so in stunning fashion.
