Weekend Gamer: Legion Go 2, Nitro Blaze 7, and Xbox Handheld

As you know, I recently purchased the Lenovo Legion Go, and I’ve been enjoying it. Of course, as soon as I bought it, there’s already rumors of a Legion Go 2, which may come out in 2025.

Ten Reasons to avoid the Kindle Colorsoft

The reviews for the Kindle Colorsoft are in, and it’s not good. As you know, I was considering buying it before it was released, but now reading all the negative reviews, I’m definitely avoiding it.
