E3’s Top Games: Digital Trends has announced the winners of the Top Games and E3 2017 Awards and there were some great ones. On this episode Hanif Jackson gives us his personal choices. Let us know yours in the comments below.
Amazon’s Dash Wand: The Dash Wand debuted a couple of years and never really took off as it was. Now that it supports Alexa, it has become a much more powerfuls and useful home assistant device. At only $20, will this give Amazon a big bump in the battle with Google and Apple?
Virtual Reality at the Dentist: There is an ongoing study regarding Virtual Reality and how it can assist people in stressful situations. Trips to the dentist are proving to be less stressful with the use of VR. What other kinds of situations could benefit from a VR escape?

Each week, we gather a round table of tech experts from the Digital Trends staff, along with the occasional celebrity guest, to discuss all things tech. Topics range from the big tech stories of the week to predicting the future, all while maintaining a somewhat civil decorum.
