EPOS Relaunches Less Expensive, Improved GTW 270 Hybrid
Back in March of 2021, we took at a look at the GTW 270 Hybrid gaming earbuds from EPOS. Event at the $200 USD price point, we said that overall the earbuds were of exceptional quality, sounded great, but had a few things we didn't enjoy, most notably the inability to use them for chat when playing on console. It's now 2022, and the relaunched EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid is not only better, but cheaper too!

In the last 24 hours, SEGA has announced three new Yakuza games. And anybody who has ever played a Yakuza game will tell you that this is fantastic news – and that it deserves to be more. The franchise, now seemingly switching to its original title of Like a Dragon in the west, has been a very long-running franchise, but until remakes starting coming out and the franchise hit Game Pass I’m not sure it was hitting the audience it…

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Release Summer 2023
It's A Wonderful Life was one of my favourite Harvest Moon games, and one of the best games I played on my Nintendo GameCube. I sunk hours and hours into this experience, and was handsomely rewarded with a fun experience. I recently hopped back into the game for a few streams last year, and it did not hold up as much as I thought it would. Today, it was a nice surprise to see Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life being remade for the Nintendo Switch.

Unlock! Kids Detective Stories Review
My wife and I have played through almost all of the Unlock! experiences, whether they be random mysteries or those themed around Star Wars. We really enjoy playing them, but doing so does leave out the younger members of the family. With Unlock! Kids, we can have a similar unlock experience but one that we can enjoy with our 8 year old, Lochlan. So how does Unlock! Kid hold up against the original? Let's take a look.

Assassin’s Creed Might Just Be Back
With a bevy of Assassin’s Creed announcements last night, it looks like the future might be bright for Assassin’s Creed. The hit franchise, which first appeared in the PS3/Xbox 360 era, has long been a staple for AAA gamers since the original following Altair. An update to the formula with Assassin’s Creed Origins meant it stayed relevant after fatigue for the franchise had begun to set in. But five years of giant RPGs has started to have their toll, mixed…

Disney Dreamlight Valley a Mixed Bag on Nintendo Switch
The verdict is in, and people love Disney Dreamlight Valley. Add me to that list, although my experience on Nintendo Switch has been less than ideal. Issues on the Nintendo Switch seem to be lumped into two categories - those that seem to be impacting everyone, and those that seem to impact only a few people.

Explorers Board Game Review
Simple roll-and-write games, flip-and-write games, etc. are a dime a dozen it seems. Some are really good, others are really bad, and most hover in that middle category of just being OK.

After playing it multiple times over the past few weeks, I'm glad it is in my collection.
