The HTC Vive is still the most powerful virtual reality headset you can buy, thanks to its go-almost-anywhere room scale tracking. But when you’re shackled to a bulky cable, that room scale experience can feel a bit restricting. Enter the HTC Vive Wireless Adapter (See it on Amazon); a small device that attaches to your headset for truly untethered gaming. It's available for both the regular Vive and the Vive Pro, though the Pro version costs an extra $60.

Widows Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Five years after directing the Oscar-winning historical drama 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen has returned… with a heist movie. But before you start wondering if he’s sold out, rest assured: Widows is the most artsy, thoughtful, and impressively cast heist movie in a long, long while. For better and for worse.

In a nutshell, Widows tells the story of three women who were recently widowed when their husbands were killed in the middle of a heist. Unfortunately, those husbands left them each in a financial lurch, with debts that need collecting and property that isn’t under any of these women’s names. With $2 million owed to a local politician with a history of violence, they only have one option: they’re going to have to pull off their husbands’ last heist themselves.

Ralph Breaks the Internet Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

In no small feat, Ralph Breaks the Internet is a sweet, funny and worthy follow-up to the Oscar-nominated 2012 Wreck-It Ralph. The sequel finds room to grow on the original film’s premise by exploring not only a larger world beyond video games but also new and more complicated dimensions to the core friendship at the heart of these movies.

Gaming remains a factor this time around — especially when Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope’s (Sarah Silverman) online journey leads them into the absurdly dangerous and over-the-top GTA-style game Slaughter Race — and the quest to save Vanellope’s “home” Sugar Rush from extinction is the plot’s main objective. But the Internet, as the movie’s title makes obvious, is the main subject of this keen parody, and this shifts the focus from the past (nostalgia for classic games) to the present. Everything from viral videos to the dark web to online shopping gets ribbed here.

Instant Family Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Instant Family is not the first time Mark Wahlberg and director/co-writer Sean Anders have worked together, and it’s a case of third time’s a charm. It’s another family comedy after their teaming up on Daddy’s Home and Daddy’s Home 2, but this managed to achieve what the others only flirted with, and that’s offering humanity as well as humor – and neither is present at the expense of the other.

Pete, played by Wahlberg, and Ellie, played by Rose Byrne, are a couple who decide they want to start a family, However, rather than making a baby themselves, they stumble into the world of foster care adoption. They’re looking to take on one child but meet three siblings, including a rebellious 15-year-old girl, played by Isabela Moner. As you might expect, all bets are off.
