Evil Within 2 Review
I've never been one to excitedly wait for a horror/thriller title on console, but Evil Within 2 might make me rethink that position. Despite my reservations about horror games in general - very predictable, and often doesn't have the same shock value as a movies - Evil Within 2 gave me enough spine crawling, freight endusing moments, mixed in with some great open world mechanics, to deliver on what is one of the better horror/thriller titles to date on console. Despite my distaste for the genre, I simply couldn't put Evil Within 2 down until I had beaten it!

Paris Game Week kicks off in November, and to get Playstation fans ready for what they are going to see, Sony is hosting a Playstation Life from Paris to show off upcoming titles coming to Playstation 4 and Playstation VR!

Pokémon Premium XY Trainer’s Collection Review
Every once in a while, The Pokémon Company comes out with something a bit different to commemorate a certain event, or just to surprise long time fans. Although the Pokémon X and Y collection seems like a thing of the past - especially with all the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon collections that have been released - Nintendo has resurrected the XY franchise with the Pokémon Premium XY Trainer's Collection box tin. Although this set will come in well over $100 USD, to the right fan, there is a definite value here. The Pokémon Company doesn't expect all Pokémon card fans to purchase this package, so expect it to be fairly limited in stores.
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle DLC Now Available – See the New Trailer
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle was just one of many fantastic games already released on the Nintendo Switch this year. We loved it so much, we gave it a well deserved 9.0/10!

The first DLC package is available today, and Ubisoft has released a new trailer to celebrate that and show off what players can expect.

Astro A40 TR Headset
The Astro Gaming name is synonymous with gaming, and for years everyone has assumed that Astro headsets are outside the reach of the average gamer. In the past, this was definitely true, but Astro is running lines of Headsets at a much lower cost, and the Astro A40 TR Headset - aimed at PC and MAC users, but compatible with newer Xbox One controllers and PS4 - is a great headset that comes in at a modest $150 price tag. Overall, that expensive Astro quality is there, but not the excessive pricing.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Review
Although wildly popular, I've never been a huge fan of the Dragonball Universe nor do I have an affinity for fighting games. That being said, Dragonball Xenoverse 2 does everything a little bit different, making it the ideal game for long time fans and new players. While jumping into franchises with years and years of history is often a daunting task, the story and flow of Xenoverse 2 is the perfect combination of story, characters, and combat that will work for long time fans and new arrivals. Even though a fighting game is pretty low on my list of must play games, Dragonball Xenoverse 2 had me hooked for almost 35 hours and is probably one of the best fighting games I've played in a really long time.
