Attached to the Switch Grip quite so much. Somehow the non-offset thumb-stick and button layout seemed worse in this form and it's not ideal in handheld mode. The fairly wide
The Switch is a confident showing from Nintendo at this early hands-on stage. Rather than falling on its sword and following the straightforward 'box-under-your-telly' design ethos, Nintendo has taken bold strides to once again mix up the gaming experienc...

Nintendo still has a lot of work to do, but there's certainly no denying it, the Nintendo Switch is fantastic and arguably our favourite console release in recent years.Of what few issues the console does have, many can be easily fixed or will improve ove...
I can't draw final conclusions on this AMD version of the Acer Swift 3 based on this sample that did not perform to the best of the platform's abilities.However, based on the few other reviews of these Raven Ridge builds available out there (one, two), th...
