Pokemon Premium Trainer’s XY Collection Coming to Retail Soon
In a press release sent out earlier this week, the Pokémon Company detailed some new premium cards that will be coming to retail very soon, and will have a full review of the new sets soon when they arrive! The Pokémon Trainers XY Collection will include 12 more full art cards, a metal coin - remember, most other packages include plastic coins! - and much more! The set will be available on November 17th, so make sure to grab it right away. If my local retailers are any indication, Pokémon products - outside of standard booster packs - don't stay on the shelf for long!
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War First Impressions
I loaded up Middle-Earth: Shadow of War for the first time last night thanks to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment PR in Toronto, Canada, and was wowed from the moment I began exploring areas of Middle Earth. While those who played Shadow of Mordor a few years ago will be right at home with the gameplay in Shadow of War, enough changes have been evident early on to make me satisfied that Warner Bros. actually build on their previous blockbuster, not just created a carbon copy. If you are on the fence about Shadow of War because you think it might be too much of what you've already played, think again. Pick up Shadow of War now, as it is completely worth the price!
Forza Motorsport 7 Review
There isn't anything quite like getting behind the wheel of a fast car and hitting the track, and although many people don't enjoy simulation racing titles - myself included, for the record - there is still something really appealing about loading up a Forza Motorsport title for the first time. Although my early moments in Forza were not everything I hoped they would be, there is definitely a strong challenge here that I'm more than willing to master! Forza 7 is not a game you want to miss!
FIFA 18 Review – Football Ultimate Team – FUT
Across all the EA Sports titles, I've always been drawn in by one mode, which also happens to be the mode I play almost exclusively. Perhaps it's the sports card collecting that stirs that nostalgic spoon in my body, buy whatever it may be, the Ultimate Team mode, in my opinion, is EA's finest! In FIFA18, FUT builds on previous years, providing more things to do daily, and providing free packs and coins like never before!
Middle Earth: Shadow of War Launches Today
The highly anticipated Middle Earth: Shadow of War will release today at retail, and as a digital download for PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4. We just received our review key from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and will have a review of the title soon! Shadow of War is the sequel to the highly regarded Shadow of Mordor title form a few years back. The Nemesis System is back again, with a host of new game play options. Check out the press release below for more details.
Samsung Galaxy Book
Last month, I had the pleasure of checking out the Samsung Galaxy Book tablet computer, aimed at professionals, but with the power for all consumers in mind. Whether I was doing word processing, browsing the web, or even playing games, the Galaxy Book was the perfect companion on any trip, on the couch at home, or at my desk at work. The device is light enough to be useable in all situations, but has enough heft to it, giving you the assurance you are using a quality, well made product.
PES 2018 Review
This is the third consecutive year that GamesReviews is reviewing the yearly Pro Evolution Soccer title, and although we hate to sound like a broken record, the game again is the paramount soccer experience available on console, but is again sorely lacking the features and licences content that is available in FIFA 18. That being said, for those looking for that ultimate experience, PES 2018 is a must own!
