You can play hours of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes right now — I love the Dynasty Warriors franchise, both the main games and the licensed spin-offs. I’ve reviewed several installments here (1, 2, 3) and I’m still working on a review of Touken Ranbu Warriors in spite of its short level lengths driving me up the proverbial wall. In just a week…

Just a logo shown so far — After years of teases, a failed MMO that never launched worldwide, and a video a few days ago that almost read like an insult to the fanbase — Capcom has finally announced Dragon’s Dogma 2. It almost seemed like they weren’t…

All three are based on the overall industrial design concept of the more premium HS80 wireless headset, but with several smart changes in order to hit a lower price. I…

Not quite ready for launch? — Four years ago, SteelSeries launched the Arctis Pro family of headsets, promising better performance and aggressively pushing hi-res audio even though zero games supported it. Now, they’re back with a ground-up redesign of their high end headset models, and they’ve packed in even more features…
