If you’re wanting to get an edge on the competition, this new controller will help you play like a pro!

In this edition of Connected Home, I take a look at keyless entry. There’s a much smaller selection of keyless entry home devices than some other things like light switches and bulbs, but what’s out there is high quality and easy to enjoy. Are you looking for a new deadbolt system altogether, or something that works with your existing keys and lock system? I’ll lay out some options for you and compare a couple products out there already.

In Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, get set to explore the largest and most modern open-world city ever created for an Assassin’s Creed game. The setting is London in the year 1868, towards the end of the Industrial Revolution, a time period marked by rapid technological progress—and a massive widening gap between the working class and the rich. With tensions rising, it’s time to unite the London underworld against their corrupt elite oppressors, Assassin’s Creed style!

Excited for next year’s hugely anticipated launch of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End? To help prepare you for the next entry in Sony’s groundbreaking adventure series, this fall on PS4 you can play remastered releases of the first three games in the series with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection!      

My last booth visit at E3 2015 was with Turtle Beach to check out all their latest innovations in gaming audio headsets and equipment. As a gamer, having a good pair of headphones is vitally important. The strength of Turtle Beach is that they offer a range of products in all price ranges, so you can pick the pair best suited to your needs. My meeting with them also helped me discover an innovative new project they are working on, which could revolutionize how we listen to television.

Perhaps no other game at E3 2015 made quite the big splash that EA’s Star Wars Battlefront did, appearing at both Sony’s and EA’s press conferences, and the game was playable in both of their booths (in massive displays I might add). The lines were huge at the EA booth, but I managed to get in and try out the game’s epic 40-person battle mode. While in the EA area, I hopped on over to the Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 VIP section to get hands-on time with the next entry of this hilarious, yet deep first-person shooter franchise!

On my last day of E3 2015, I headed back to the Nintendo booth for an opportunity I’ve been looking forward to the most all week: the chance to interview famed Nintendo executives, Takashi Tezuka and Yosuke Oshino. They are the producers of none other than Super Mario Maker and Yoshi’s Woolly World!
