Video Game System Reviews

Can Nintendo’s coveted 16-bit emulation box live up to the hype? Find out in our SNES Classic Edition review!

Sony has entered the mini-console fray with its very own PlayStation Classic. There’s no doubt that the PS1 era saw many great games, but Sony has not honored that legacy. Instead, we get a collectible that capitalizes on the cute mini aesthetic but falls short just about everywhere else.

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition removes the disc drive and lowers the cost as a result, but the money you save isn’t worth losing physical games. The slightly more expensive Xbox One S will still be the better value in the long run when factoring in used game purchases and retailer sales.

The Switch Lite doesn't stray far from the original formula, but its changes do make a difference in its comfortable design and improved battery life

The latest retro console to get the rerelease treatment is the TurboGrafx-16 Mini, and it's a real joy. However, some of the games are a serious challenge.

Microsoft started off on the wrong foot this generation, but it isn’t giving up with the smaller, sleeker Xbox One S. But should you wait for the Xbox Series X?

The Nintendo Switch delivers on more new and interesting features than any console in recent memory. It's the most inventive gaming device in recent memory.

Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro is the best console of this generation, but it's pricey, and not everyone will need the upgrade over the great PlayStation 4 Slim.

The Xbox One X is the most powerful game console, but is that enough to make it worth upgrading? Find out in our review.

The PlayStation 4 Slim is the most affordable Sony console this gen. Compact and inexpensive, this is the easiest way to experience the excellent PS4 library.

The Series S is initially an impressive piece of hardware for its price, but its limitations quickly become apparent. I can hardly recommend buying it.

The iiRcade brings the arcade experience home with a top-notch machine that's still growing its game library.

Amazon Luna works well enough, but it won't leave a lasting impression without a much better game library.

The Playdate is a totally charming handheld gaming experience as long as you're willing to roll with its experimental approach to game releases.
