Hey! Pikmin Review
The Pikmin franchise has been one of Nintendo's best since the original title released many years ago on the Nintendo Gamecube. Since then, Nintendo has been careful to not over extend the franchise, but only releasing new titles every few years. Until 2017, Pikmin has lived and died on the home entertainment console, never finding its way to the Nintendo 3DS family of system. With the release of Hey! Pikmin, that all changes, as does the game's formula, to make it more appropriate for the handheld device.

I and Me Review
I and Me is a beautiful and charming puzzle game that is sure to make you smile more than once as you play through the numerous levels. Although perhaps it would have been nice to have more content, what is available for players to enjoy is sufficient enough to warrant its own release. Overall, I and Me is something any puzzle fan should consider picking up!

Turtle Beach Elite Pro Gaming Headset – PC Edition
Last year, Turtle Beach launched the Elite Pro Gaming headset which worked across the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it was actually a unit one of our reviewers purchased at the time, but never wrote a review on. His thoughts overall that it was a better than average headset at about the right price point, although there was always a bit of discomfort from wearing the unit for long periods of time. When Turtle Beach announced they would be launching a PC Specific Elite Pro headset, I was instantly intrigued and reached out to them for a review sample. After using the headset for almost a solid 2 weeks, I'm fairly confident in the conclusions I've made.

New 2DS XL Review: Is It Worth the Upgrade?
The New 2DS XL will launch next week alongside two brand new games to the 3DS Family of systems: Miitopia and Hey! Pikmin. We've only had our New 2DS XL for a few days now, but are ready to tell you what we think of Nintendo's latest hardware device. Many expected Nintendo to kill of the 3DS entirely and focus its efforts on the Nintendo Switch, but with games releasing well into 2018 - including new Pokémon and Mario titles - it looks like the 3DS and related systems are here to stay for the time being. The ultimate question will be: should I upgrade to the New 2DS XL if I already own another 3DS system, or stand pat? Hopefully we can help you out with that!

Using Xbox Design Lab Online Software
Thanks to Xbox Canada, we got the chance to experiment with the Xbox Design Lab online software to create our own controller for the Xbox One (which we will review when it arrives). After receiving our credit for the review, I figured getting a controller designed would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, a few hours later, I realized how wrong I was. Using the Xbox Design Lab software is both exciting and frustrating, not because of how the software works, but because of the number of options Microsoft offers to you!

Classic Space DLC Coming to LEGO Worlds
If you haven't had a chance to look at our LEGO Worlds review, I strongly suggest you give it a read! It is a fantastic game with almost endless possibilities, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and the LEGO Group have done an excellent job continuing to add new content to the experience to make it bigger and better than ever before. Available now is the new Classic Space DLC, bringing to life many of those old, retired LEGO sets you probably enjoyed playing with as a child.

Splatoon 2 Extended Review: Salmon Run
Our overall review of Splatoon 2 is up on the site and readable here, but we thought we would do some extended, more in depth looks at some of the specific modes in the game. First up is Salmon Run, the one mode I was most critical of in my review. Frankly, the content of Salmon Run was not what was disappointing, but rather, the limited playability of the mode itself. However, after seeing what plans Nintendo has for this mode, and how often it will be available, I am willing to rescind some of that criticism.
