Tech
Echogear Monitor Mount
The Echogear Monitor Mounts really held up to the rigorous testing we put it through, especially when circumstances caused us to have to uninstall it, and then reinstall. We’ve put this thing through its paces and have to say for what it offers and the price point, it’s an absolute must-buy for desktop enthusiasts.
If you’re ready to step up your setup, head over to Echogear’s website and buy yours today! Different mounts are available from $49.99 to $119.99
HyperX Cloud Mix
HyperX has engineered a quality product with the Cloud Mix that does a great job of seamlessly switching between gaming and everyday use. With a headset without the frills in its design, the shining light is in its audio presence. For a price tag of $199.99, the Cloud Mix is a great pair of headphones that can eliminate the need for multiple headsets.

Overcooked 2
Overcooked 2 is a true example of how to make a good sequel. By building upon the core idea and improving that experience, Overcooked 2 perfectly captures what was so great about the first game and makes no missteps in continuing that trend. Overall it may just be the best co-op game to come out of 2018. Did we mention it now has online multiplayer?
Overcooked 2 is available for the PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One (Steam, Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop).
Marvel’s Spider-Man
It’s a great year for Spider-Man with movies like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse coming this month. A great video game gift for Spider-Man fans is Marvel’s Spider-Man. There’s a lot to love, especially its tight controls that make swinging, freerunning, crawling and fighting very enjoyable. The story captures the struggle of Peter Parker’s personal life and superhero life. New York City is another character of its own, making it a very fun playground for a superhero. With that said, Insomniac Games knocks it out of the park with Marvel’s Spider-Man and gives us the ultimate Spider-Man experience.
Marvel’s Spider-Man is available on Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop. (At the time of this writing, Best Buy has the cheaper price of $39.99.)
