When it comes to gaming you always want to be ahead of the competition. The Logitech G5 is a great choice for a gaming mouse. The mouse is extremely sensitive for fast paced gaming. There are also extra buttons on the mouse so you can map in game features right to the mouse. Features like on the fly sensitivity changes really help improve your gameplay. This mouse is also extremely comfortabl...

Choke is a really great book. I really enjoyed it and honestly could not put it down. The story follows a guy that is not your average protagonist. His name is Victor Mancini. He has a quite a few issues, his friends have issues, and his mom has issues. Victor doesn’t make enough money at his crappy job to pay for his mom’s medical bills so he has to come up with some creative way...

When it came to buying my first mp3 player I did a lot of research. I ended up going with the Cowon D2 PMP. I call it a personal media player because not only does it play mp3, but it plays video at a solid 30 fps. The Cowon D2 features a touch screen interface so navigating the device is very straight forward. I could never really get the hang of using some mp3 players, but the Cowon D2 just s...

The Steelseries Steelsound 5hv2 headset is a great choice for gamers. The headset has quite a few features that are great for people that go to LAN parties, or just frequently play games. First of all the Steelsound 5Hv2 headset is the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. The earcups have a nice amount of padding and the fit over your entire ear. Once you get used to having your whole ear...

The Xbox 360 is a great conosle. Our family has had ours for almost a year now. The Xbox 360 has a pretty good game selection, so you have quite a bit to choose from in the way of games. The Xbox 360 has a multiplayer side to the console called Xbox Live. Xbox Live is really cool because it keeps all the information of all the games you've played, and allows you to play games on the interne...

I was one of the crazy people that camped out for the Nintendo Wii. I have to say though that it was totally worth it. The Wii is Nintendo's look at gaming consoles. If you're expecting HD quality input, media playback, and all the other stuff that doesn't effect gameplay look away from the Wii. The Wii is all about the game experience. To control the system you use the Nintendo Wii...

I bought the Logitech G15 gaming keyboard because it looked like a high quality keyboard. I was right. The Logitech G15 has been a great keyboard for everything I do on the computer. For gaming the keyboard comes with 18 extra buttons that you can assign to any keystroke and even macros. The G15 keyboard also has an LCD display that can be customized in a number of useful ways. You can have it ...

If your anything like me then you always need to seem a tool to help you do something. It gets annoying to have to keep rummaging through your tool box to find the specifics. Well the Leatherman Wave has solved most of those problems for me. The Leatherman Wave features 4 blades all with safety locking features and you can open the blades without unfolding the actual tool. There are also an ass...

I bought the original Nintendo DS when it launched. As soon as I opened up the DS and started playing with it I knew it was a great system. The Nintendo DS Lite expands on that. One of the problems with the original DS was the fact that the screens weren't that brite and the system was a little bulky. The DS Lite makes the two screens of the DS majorly brighter. The DS Lite is also more com...

Skate is a great skateboarding game. The skateboarding genre of video games has had one major game for many years now. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has been really the only skateboarding game worth while. Skate changes all of that. Skate takes the genre in a new direction, it tries to offer a more realistic approach to skateboarding games. Most of this is an illusion given by the very innovative ...

I picked up Viva Pinata because I heard from a friend that it was great fun. He wasn't wrong. When I first started Viva Pinata I was introduced to a very vibrant and bright world. In the game you're faced with the goal of building a beautiful garden. Equipped with a few tools you have to try to attract and keep around the natural inhabitance of the world. They are all pinatas. At first ...

Halo 3 is the next installment to the mega-popular Halo series. So you know where I stand; I enjoyed Halo but was disappointed with Halo 2. I am not particularly a fan of the multiplayer either. A friend and I played through the campaign of Halo 3 on heroic and it took us about 6 hours. I think most of the fun we had came from playing through it together, I probably wouldn't have beat it on...

I will start my review by saying that Half-Life 2 is one of the best games I have ever played. Right from the start you are made to feel like the main character Gordon. The game does an amazing job of projecting emotions based on music, enviroment, etc. Half-Life 2 manages to have a very cinematic way of story-telling but you are always in control. The game makes you feel like Gordon. Action in...

Call of Duty 2 was probably the best game in the Call of Duty series. The main reason is because it was developed by the original devs Infinity Ward. The single player is a very cinematic experience full of scripted events and dialogue. The music also does a very good job of making you feel glorious. Its all very movie like. I had a lot of fun with the single-player campaign. The multi-player p...

Quake 4 puts you up against an alien infestation known as the Strogg. Fans of the series will probably enjoy Quake 4 quite a bit. I thought that the single-player was decent, but I found it to feel too much like Doom 3 and it was a little easy. The real draw of the Quake series is its multi-player. The fast paced action of the Quake series has always been a fan favorite. This one doesn't sl...

The Samsung A900M is a very compact flip phone. The phone is advertised as being capable of being a multimedia phone. This is true in some cases but most of the specifications don't live up to that title. For example, you can watch movies and play music on the phone but there is no expandable storage. You are locked with the 70MB or so that comes with it, which is not a lot of storage. The ...

Half-Life 2: Episode 1 was Valve's first venture into episodic content. They came up with the idea so that players wouldn't have to wait as long for the next installment of a series. The idea kind of fell short. Episode 1 took too long to be released and when the game finally came out it was only about 4 hours of gameplay. The 4 hours your playing are excellent though. In this episode y...

Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is the second part of Valve's Half-Life episodes. The game takes place directly after the events of Episode 1. Episode 2 features some engine improvements. The physics in the game have been improved to handle building destruction and the graphics have been improved. The game still runs great though, so if your PC could handle Half-Life 2 then you're probably good ...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is the follow up to the free multiplayer FPS Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. I will start by saying that if you were a fan of Wolfenstein: ET or Return to Castle Wolfenstein then go out and buy this game now. The gameplay is very identical except that it has had an upgrade. Splash Damage added vehicles to the mix but made them farely weak; fast paced intense infantry c...

Call of Duty 4 has been given back to the original developers of the Call of Duty series, Infinity Ward. Let me tell you, they did a great job. Call of Duty 4 takes the series out of its World War II roots and brings it into modern combat. In the single-player campaign you will switch back and forth between two characters, a marine, and a SAS agent. When playing through the single-player it alm...
