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.

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!

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.

In FIFA18, FUT builds on previous years, providing more things to do daily, and providing free packs and coins like never before!

LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game – Combat is King
The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game doesn't break a ton of new ground for famed developers Travelers Tales, but the game does enough to differentiate itself for the dozens of other LEGO titles currently available across almost every gaming platform imaginable. If you are familiar with LEGO Ninjago, you'll know that in the movie and show, Ninja combat is at the forefront of almost every encounter. It makes sense, then, that Travelers Tales would rework the standard LEGO game combat to better fit the Ninjago franchise. From what I've played, it works really well!
