Valve has released a new gamepad, the Steam Controller – it’s just waiting for the Steam Machine to really shine.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream stands out thanks to its wacky humor and incredible level of customization.

Marathon looks great and has some strong moment-to-moment action, but it lacks compelling reasons to keep playing.

This hard-shell case from Turtle Beach is easily one of the best I’ve tried so far — and its stand-out design is a big reason for that.

The Nintendo Virtual Boy was a flop on its first go around in the 90s, and in 2026, it isn’t any better as a Nintendo Switch accessory.

Pokémon LeafGreen and its sibling Pokémon FireRed are as excellent today as when they were released in 2004.

Pokémon Pokopia has broadly remained a mystery since its first announcement, with little given away about its gameplay mechanics and storyline; I’ve spent two weeks playing, and it’s a surprise worth waiting for.

I reviewed the new Rematch controller for Nintendo Switch 2, and while it impressed me with TMR thumbsticks and a fun design, I wish Turtle Beach added a few more features.

Asus ROG’s innovative Raikiri II controller and its trailblazing TMR triggers have finally given me the edge I need in my favorite games.

If you need a Nintendo Switch 2 case, this purse-like model could be up your alley — but it wasn’t exactly my favorite.

Weighing under six pounds, alongside being less than an inch thick when closed, the Alienware 16X features an Intel Core Ultra 9, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB SSD. These specs are matched with a 16-inch display featuring a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is incredible, and while the Nintendo Switch 2 version is a step down, I still love it.

The Seagate FireCuda 530R with heatsink would be an okay option for PS5 owners if it was available at a reasonable price.

The Hori Adventure Pack may not be the most stylish case I’ve tested, but its versatile, convenient model that’s well worth considering.

Atari’s Pac-Man-themed retro console has me reliving childhood memories all over again and returned me to a simpler, pixelated past.

Octopath Traveler 0 is another excellent RPG in this new-era classic franchise but less Octopath than ever.

Thanks to months of updates and patches – coupled with plenty of PlayStation 5-specific upgrades - Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl on PS5 is the game at its best.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has fantastic multiplayer and zombies, but its co-op campaign is lacking.

The BattlerGC Pro is an excellent alternative to the Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller.

Anno 117: Pax Romana isn’t as complex as its predecessor, but it’s still a gorgeous city builder that impresses across the board.
