Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts review
The past comes back to haunt Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts, a collaboration between Dark Horse Comics and Crystal Dynamics. Lara’s been through it since her introduction nearly 30 years ago, facing grisly enemies while trying to secure priceless artifacts and avoiding disasters. When an old enemy resurfaces, she is once again sent on a globetrotting adventure to keep an immense power from falling into the wrong hands. Sacred Artifacts blends together legacy, mystery, and an

Moss: The Forgotten Relic announced
Moss and its sequel are SO good that we actually reviewed both of them...twice! (Moss - my review, Moss - Richard's review, and Moss Book II - David's review, Moss Book II - Richard's review) If you haven't experienced it for yourself, then there's probably a reason – it's exclusive to VR platforms.

XREAL partners with ROG for ROG XREAL R1 glasses
There's no doubt that the ROG Ally is a powerful handheld, and one that we liked quite a bit (our review). While the 7-inch 1080p 120Hz screen is gorgeous...what if you could make it bigger? Well, that's exactly what Asus is doing with a team-up with XREAL! Today they announced the ROG XREAL R1 – a new set of heads up display glasses that leans hard into the capabilities of ROG's newest handheld.The specs are just as advanced as the ROG Ally itself, equipped with Micro

Youtube channel planning behind the scenes: What’s in the box?
When I took over the top Tabletop spot at GamingTrend 8 years ago, I experimented with a lot of different types of coverage. One of the more successful experiments was unboxing videos, which we called ‘What’s in the Box?’, with the name cheekily referencing the iconic scene at the end of the movie Se7en:What's in the box?After doing about 6 or 7 of these videos, I decided to tackle unboxing the entire 12 box all-in Kickstarter for the Horizon: Zero Dawn boardgame, which

The Sinking City 2 hands-on preview
We enjoyed The Sinking City, though at launch it was arguably a bit rough around the edges.  What we didn’t realize at the time was that the creation of that game’s sequel would be heavily affected by the war in the Ukraine (where the Frogwares team is largely located), as well as a battle with their then publisher Nacon.  The team finally broke away, seizing control of their game, remastering it and bringing that average score from 61 to 81 in the process!  Now, the

Forza Horizon 6 review
The AAA industry should carefully study how Playground Games made Forza Horizon 6 a game for everyone. Sure, you might not like driving games, but my cheesy response: Expand your horizons. If there's ever a driving game to dip your toe in, it's this one. Forza Horizon 6 is breezy, but thoughtful. It's like being on a cruise. It's the largest meticulously planned party that will last long after the party's over—no sickness.Isn’t it the same as the past games

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II review
It doesn’t seem like it was all that long ago that Turtle Beach was the go-to cheap wireless headset we’d all pick up from our local big box store as we were headed into a weekend of gaming for a new release. They were inexpensive and got the job done. We were still growing, though, and so was Turtle Beach. Over the years, they’ve continued to hone their craft and grow their arsenal. In recent years, it’s become clear they’re capable of handling premium high-en

Sony INZONE Buds review
I love a good set of earbuds. Sadly, many don’t meet my high audial expectations. SteelSeries has managed to reach them with their Arctis Buds, but a lot of the time, the feature set just isn’t worth using a set of earbuds when gaming. I’ve taken another shot at this type of gear, with Sony’s recent release of their INZONE buds. After enjoying them for a while, I’m flabbergasted; these largely hold up, even versus actual gaming headsets.Inside the small box you
