REVIEW: Corsair Virtuoso RGB Gaming Headset
Gaming peripherals are a highly populated market. It shouldn't take too much time to find the right headset, but it can be difficult to ensure your earnings don't go to waste. Since my first online experience with the PlayStation 3, I have used many headsets. In fact, I started out using a Nokia bluetooth earpiece to talk with my friends.

Retrospective: Bram Stoker’s Dracula (SEGA Mega Drive)
The battle between good and evil has been epic and endless, just like the incessant bickering about whether or not to win.Bram Stoker's DraculaThe game is either decent or not. The 1992 Francis Ford Coppola adaptation featured a cast of A-listers, including a dashing Keanu Reynolds as the hero and a bulbous Gary Oldman playing our toothy villain. It received mixed reviews much like our trial game. BBC'sDraculaThat January rose again, along with the Sega Mega Drive game, rekindled my love for the old count and inspired me to dust off the 16-bit and 8-bit series.

REVIEW: MotoGP 20
I've been on high-speed motorcycles and found the experience to be almost as real as the car racing games. There is also the issue of reproducing bikes dynamically on a controller, which can be very difficult. I remember playing TT : Isle of Man when it was released a few years ago. It was a great game and I still want it to work for me. Although the TT is so famous, it did not represent the speed of the event. I felt empty after purchasing it and then it was put aside to collect dust.

REVIEW: God of War 3
We follow Kratos, the angry man from Greece, as he pushes towards Mount Olympus to exact his revenge against Zeus. It's the ultimate culmination of the series... God Of War 2018 I've never heard of it. Joking aside, God of War 2018 or as I like to call it, Norse Boogaloo, is a possibility that this trilogy will end. If we can ignore it, how does God of War3's story compare to the rest of this trilogy?

REVIEW: Saints Row: The Third Remastered
Saints Row's 14-year history has seen the series grow incredulously. From a self-referential, open-world game that was meant to compete with Grand Theft Auto, it has evolved into a bizarre, superpower-infused series where you play the role of the President of the United States. Saints Row 3 was released in 2011. It became the most popular installment of the series, selling over 5.5 millions copies. This was the obvious next AAA title in this age of remasters.

REVIEW: Boreal Tales
My family was from Morecambe in the North West of England. There are 42,589 people living there. It is also home to bad comedy and shellfish. It is a dead city. It is a black hole. It is a black hole. Anything that enters its orbit is destroyed and there is no escape. It was once said to have thrived but no one remains who can verify that.

REVIEW: Dark Nights With Poe & Munro
Video games were considered the "big problem" in America in the 1990s. These were mindless, soulless, and gore-laden brainwashing devices that could turn your children into Charles Manson with bath salts.Mortal Kombat(1992) was the worst, and the 16-bit graphics made it REAL. Little Billy was no longer content to just toss a ball with his old man or do whatever they do there. Little Billy wanted to rip his old man's spine through his butthole, and use it for the desecration of the star-spangled banner. Or so your parents would have you believe.

REVIEW: The Last of Us Part II
The Last of Us was released on the PlayStation 3 in the summer of 2013. It received both critical and commercial praise. Naughty Dog, the popular developer of the Unchartedseries at the time, seemed to have found a niche with both audiences and critics. It was a combination of a road trip story and stealth-focused gameplay that felt like a surprise at the time. This feeling of importance was further heightened when you consider that the game arrived at the end the PS3's lifespan and was pushing the system beyond its limits. Its reception and continued enthusiasm only reinforced the paradigm shift this game brought to gaming.

REVIEW: Ultimate Fishing Simulator
Before I begin my review, I must make a confession. I have never taken up fishing and I don't feel the need. While I admire those who fish, I have never found the time to really get it. It seemed like a lot more waiting than it was, and fish are not that interesting to me unless they're sharks. I am already on the wrong side of a game that simulates fishing. When I loaded the game, I was looking for a gentle learning curve to teach me about fishing hooks and fish food. Maybe I'd like it more.

REVIEW: SKATER XL
The absence of skateboarding has been felt throughout the evolution of the eight-generation console wave. A dedicated fanbase still longs for the Tony Hawk and Skate franchises that Activision offered. The release of Pro Skater in 2015 was the final nail in the coffin. It received a mixed reception. This was the final trick the genre could offer. For a time, it looked like that.
