Grant Gaines

Hey, my name is Grant and I'm the managing editor and main reviewer at Just Push Start. If there is one thing I've learned over the past 20+ years, it's good games come in various shapes and sizes, so I'm always excited to try something new, even if I'm not that good at it. If you like what I do, have any comments or just want to get ahold of me, send a message to my e-mail, which is Grant . Gaines at Justpushstart.com and I'll get back to you.

HyperX Cloud Stinger Pink Edition Review

Gaming peripherals have changed a lot in the past 20 years. The idea of a gaming headset was generally normal headphones with a mic in black or if you were really lucky, some kind of branding based off a popular game like Gears of War or Halo. Companies like HyperX started to challenge these...

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny Review

Nippon Ichi Software has found a lot of success with Disgaea, their unique take on the tactical RPG genre. With silly jokes, obtuse characters and absurdly large numbers, it's a franchise that won over a lot of people instantly. With Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny it marks a new step for the...

Guilty Gear Strive Review

When Blazblue first released, there was a lot of hype for Guilty Gear. The improved visuals and flashy combo system seemed perfect for the franchise. When Arc System Works got to Guilty Gear again, it was with Xrd. It took graphics to another level and made a game that is simply stunning to look...

Immerse Gaming | HIVE Review

Back when I sold televisions, my manager Matt would sum up the importance of a full theater system so perfectly. While the display handled the cognitive side of things, audio brings out the emotional side. This is how older movies accomplished so much by doing so little. The creak of a floorboard,...

EPOS Announces B20, a Sleek New Streaming Microphone

Following a recent focus on gaming, EPOS announced their first stand alone streaming microphone, B20. The "studio quality" microphone, which EPOS boasts a resolution of 24-bits instead of the usual 16-bit like the iconic Blue Yeti, is designed with streamers in mind. Not only does it go with...

EPOS H3 Headset Review

Gaming has evolved a lot this past generation. Before, headsets were viewed as something of a luxury, with many going with whatever the cheapest option with a microphone was.

XGIMI Halo Projector Review

COVID-19 impacted a lot of things, but the most unexpected change for me was the increased interest in projectors. I would constantly have people ask me about them, probably five to nine a day compared to the previous one a month, with it being something of an uphill battle. Most projectors, that...

Biomutant Review

Gaming is a lot more complicated than it used to be and this has resulted in a variety of problems. Increased cost, frequent issues and, most notably, delays. Unfortunately, I fully understand why they come about but it has become an increasingly hot button issue. Any time something is pushed out...

Rust Console Edition Review

Minecraft and things of the like have shown there is a lot more to gaming than fighting monsters or jumping on stuff. Unique experiences, unusual ideas and different concepts have led to a diverse range of titles. Rust is certainly an experience that sounds like it would fail on paper. You, with a...

Aukey KM-G16 Review

Technology is an interesting business, one with incredible ranges in regards to price and features. While a lot of people will stick with a major brand like HyperX or SteelSeries for most of their gaming needs, some less known companies make solid offerings at a fraction of their cost. One such...

Resident Evil Village Review

Resident Evil has been something of a rollercoaster. What was once the standard for survival horror, eventually moved to action, ultimately returning to its roots. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard turned a lot of heads and set the stage for bigger and better things. Capcom has since done a lot to build...

Aukey True Wireless Headphones (EP-T21S) - Review

ScourgeBringer Review

Schiit Loki Mini+ Review

Schiit Audio decided to name their tone control after Loki because it’s a tricky product. In so many ways that is an appropriate choice. Many have moved past the need for physical equalization, either due to software offering it or headsets designed in a way to bring out certain soundscapes. In...

Recently, XGIMI revealed two new high end projectors, Horizon and Horizon Pro to replace H2. Both models will offer some welcome upgrades to the H2, including more lumens, Android OS 10, speakers by Harman Kardon and better overall picture. In regards to picture improvements, XGIMI...

Aukey RGB Headset Stand (GH-S8) Review

Completing your ideal gaming setup can be extremely difficult. At first, it seems like the hardest part is figuring out what you need and ultimately obtaining it, though there are so many reviews and guides that make it super simple.

HyperX Alloy Origins Core (HyperX Blue Switch) Review

Like I mentioned in our review of HyperX’s Alloy Origins 60, HyperX is in a good place in terms of features and is ready to focus on catering to different markets. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before they completed their Alloy Origins Core line by adding blue clicky switches. With the...
