Review: Droid Razr MAXX
When it comes to the latest cell phones, people most often look first at form, and second at function. Of course, price is always an important factor when making a purchase like this. Lately, I’ve been using a review unit of the Droid Razr MAXX. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using this phone as a gaming device and as a phone. Is the cost of the device worth it? How is the battery life of the...[Read More]
Review: SteelSeries Sensei Gaming Mouse
I’ve been using a gaming mouse of some sort for the last 6 years or so. I started with the Logitech G5, and then transitioned to the Razer Naga. Recently, I’ve had the chance to go hands on with the Sensei from SteelSeries, their response to the high end mice from Razer and Logitech.
Review: Mad Catz Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Pro GamePad
I generally prefer wireless controllers for my everyday gaming experiences. I like the mobility and freedom that a wireless controller provides, especially since I fidget and move around quite a lot when sitting down. I can definitely understand, however, the functional benefits of a wired controller, like the Mad Catz Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Pro GamePad. So while I may prefer a wireless contr...[Read More]
Review: TRITTON Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 7.1 Surround Sound Headset
Last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing the TRITTON Detonator headset for the Xbox 360. Though it was, for the most part, a great entry-level headset, long-term use has uncovered an unfortunate structural weakness: it doesn’t maintain integrity when used by someone with a big head. Now, I have what I feel is a larger than average sized head (I need to store all of this incredible brainpow...[Read More]
Review: Pritect for Kinect
With each passing day, it seems that George Orwell’s vision for the future becomes more and more a reality. 1984? 2012. Monitoring systems are everywhere, and in certain cases they are celebrated. We are digitally connected in a way that is absolutely unprecedented, which provides us with the benefit of instant information retrieval and communication anywhere, any time, but also ties us into...[Read More]
Review: TriOviz INFICOLOR 3D Glasses
The most recent entertainment buzzword has been “3D.” From the movie theater to the home, 3D has become more and more prevalent, with major marketing pushes across multiple demographics. Sony’s big push at last year’s E3 was 3D, introducing an entire 3D hardware package including glasses, a screen, and more. Games and movies have been pushing 3D more and more. 3D is now ava...[Read More]
Review: Ctrl-Alt-Del Cup Set
Reviewing a cup set is actually much harder than you would think. It’s a fairly basic item, after all. You could quite easily get away with saying something like, “It contains liquid successfully, which makes it the perfect example of what a cup should be.” One sentence does not a review make, however, and there are more factors that you would take into consideration while delibe...[Read More]
Review: Portal 2 Warning Sign Coasters
Let’s just assume that you’re social enough to have people visit your home on a semi-regular basis. With that assumption firmly in place, surely you want some way to protect your kickass giant Nintendo controller table from the vile and destructive forces of condensation? Let ThinkGeek take care of you with their Portal 2 Warning Sign coasters. Eight coasters in all, each one depicts a...[Read More]
Review: MicroVision SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector
I love technology. I am a man of gadgets and gizmos, of thingamabob’s and doohickeys. I buy gadgets I don’t need simply because of the technological impressiveness of the gadget. Sometimes that works out great, and sometimes I end up with an expensive piece of decoration. If I had purchased the MicroVision SHOWWX+ laser pico projector currently being sold at ThinkGeek, I think I’...[Read More]
Review: Subsonic Pro Controller Fluo (PS3/PC)
You know, for the most part, I’m a modifier kind of guy. When I had my 5th Gen Honda Prelude, I upgraded the intake, the springs, the ECU, the sound system, and more. When I got my first iPhone, it was jailbroken post haste, and each iteration has been ever since (going on four years, now). When I buy a computer, it comes in individual pieces that I put together to my heart’s content. ...[Read More]
Review: Subsonic Racin’ Pro (PS3/PC)
Ever since I was a human child, playing a racing game of any sort would see my dramatically tilting, angling, and swinging my controller around as I leaned into turns and weaved around obstacles and competitors. Now, even as a human spawn, I knew that my wild undulations and swaying had no actual effect…but it totally did, so sod off. There were racing wheels, sure, but they weren’t al...[Read More]
Review: Tritton Detonator (360)
I am the kind of person who appreciates a good headset, especially during the peak of my work year. During the busiest time of the year for my job, I generally have to be out of bed by 5:30 in the morning so that I can get to work by 6:30. I must be quiet as a doormouse to keep from waking my wife, who generally tends to wake up grumpy (sorry, love). On occasion, I get “sick,” and have...[Read More]
