Announcement

We're just a few days away from big launch of EA Sports' NHL 17, and to get the lowdown on all the exciting new features coming in this year's edition, I had the opportunity to sit down with the game's producer, Sean “Rammer” Ramjagsingh. New game modes, deeper customization, gameplay refinements, and the importance of fan feedback were just some of the topics we covered. Come take a read!

Today at a special press conference in New York, Sony announced a slimmer and lighter PlayStation 4 system, and finally pulled the curtain back on their powerful new PlayStation 4 Pro. Earlier in the year, Sony acknowledged that an improved PS4 console was coming, and now we know what it will feature: support for 4K quality images and high-dynamic-range technology. Games on PS4 Pro will look richer and more detailed for the best game experience possible. The great news? Both of these PS4 consoles are expected to arrive before the holidays!

This past weekend at Fan Expo Canada 2016, PlayStation Canada gave me a special preview of two of their upcoming PlayStation VR games—RIGS: Mechanized Combat League and Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. Following that, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment let me “become the Batman” in their all-new virtual reality game, Batman Arkham VR. All three VR games offered a thrilling sneak peak of the future of PlayStation gaming where immersive, 360-degree experiences will take centre stage.

Following my positive experience with NHL 17’s local Versus mode at E3, recently I had a chance to participate in an NHL 17 preview to explore additional modes and get a more intimate understanding of the huge gameplay changes arriving with this year's edition. Even at this early stage, the vast number of improvements is evident: more customization options, improved presentation, tighter gameplay, better A.I., and deeper modes. Let’s take a closer look at what EA Sports’ latest rendition of Canada’s favourite sport will offer.

I discovered so many amazing gadgets, including VR headsets, tech toys, audio tech, and more at Best Buy's Life and Tech show—come see what I tried!

A big round of applause goes to the Best Buy team for pulling off another successful Life and Tech event in Dundas Square, Toronto. Albeit, the rain did show up, but that didn’t stop the team from delivering a day filled with fun, fashion, and tech. While there, I had the pleasure of witnessing the latest and coolest technology trends. Here are some of the gadgets I’m excited about. Let’s talk about Virtual Reality (VR). It’s nothing new, but it’s...

Last night, the Best Buy event closed with a fashion show that focused on wearable tech. For those of you who don’t want to admit it, this phenomenon is here to stay! The beauty of these devices is that they help you monitor your health, fitness goals, calorie intake, etc. But while they may provide useful information, let’s be honest: you’ll attach a gadget to your body only if it’s fashionable. This year’s fashion show was even better than...

VR is no longer a pipe dream of the past and it's more affordable than ever.
