Google Nest Hub (Generation 2) Review
When Google first announced the nest hub a few years back, I had to have one for my kitchen - putting it in my room as an alarm clock never really crossed my mind, despite many folks doing it. But then we upgraded the kitchen display to a Nest Hub Max, and well...you can imagine how that was a big improvement with the bigger screen. That ultimately pushed the original Nest Hub to my wife and I's room, and while we liked having that, it started to feel a bit short on features and quality compared to other Google products we were adding to our home (like the Nest Audio). Then Google changed the game by surprise dropping the newest Nest Hub (Generation 2), and boy are we impressed.

Cozy Grove Review-in-Progress Part 1
For a little more insight into what Cozy Grove is, check out my first impressions article from yesterday. Today I want to talk about Cozy Grove’s graphics! Cozy Grove is a cute, colorful cartoon-like game. If you’ve ever played Don’t Starve, the graphics are a bit like that game expect not as dark and stormy looking. Basically Cozy Grove lives up to its name: it is cozy. The graphics are like a warm blanket that gets even more comfortable when…

It’s Time for a New Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie represents everything great about the golden age of Nintendo. Except for one thing: it’s owned by Microsoft. Everything about the bear and bird’s original 1998 adventure has Nintendo DNA in it. From the graphics to the sound to the gameplay, it is a first-party N64 game through and through. But it’s not 1998 anymore. Just like Banjo pushed on from Mario 64 back in the day, a top-quality Mario clone on Game Pass would need to build on what…

Creative SBS E2900 Bluetooth Speaker System
It is no secret that we are huge fans of Creative products at GamesReviews.com, having reviewed a ton (perhaps all?) of their products over the past few years. A few months back, they reached out again with the opportunity to review the Creative SBS E2900 Bluetooth Speaker System with subwoofer, and of course we jumped at the opportunity. This competitively priced system looks like a great addition to any computer or gaming setup, but does it work well enough, and can it compete with the big-kids in the marketplace that are more expensive? Let's take a look!

More Thoughts From Me #266: Freaked Out About Catherine
When Catherine came out on the Nintendo Switch, I played the Japanese demo and had no idea what was going on but also found the game interesting. Flashforward: I’m playing Catherine on PS Now and I finally, mostly, know whats going on. What a bizarre, addictive game. Recently PS Now, the Playstation 4’s game streaming service, was on sale for $1 for one month. So of course I got the service again. I wish I could keep it but that…

Revisiting an Opinion: Are Next Generation Consoles Worth it Yet?
The Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 are excellent home consoles, both with their own various pros, and only a few major cons. When we reviewed them back in November 2020, GamesReviews came to a pretty solid conclusion on both - outstanding, at times mind boggling consoles that you really don't need just yet. After a few months, has my opinion changed? Not much, although the benefits of the newer consoles is more evident day after day.
