Once we received our income tax return, we decided to get a new television. My wife and I knew we wanted atleast a 47 inch, and either a LCD, Plasma, or Rear Projection. We checked the various stores and, initially, looked mostly at the three S's - Sharp, Samsung, and Sony. While their pictures were good, I felt the cost was too high for what I'm getting. It was then I remember reading ...

I've got to start off by saying I love board games and card games. If you despise those as forms of entertainment then don't bother reading any further, let alone purchase this game. This game is very similar to the touch screen game machines one might find in a bar or club, so if those appeal to you then this will, too. The game contains numerous card games, from stud poker to old maid...

We were looking for a reasonably priced (under $100) MP3 player, with FM capability and decent-sized screen. After comparing several players at Best Buy, we chose this Insignia NS-DV2G. Has 2G internal memory with the possibility of 2G expansion via a microSD. It plays audiobooks, video, FM, and displays album art if available. No software or drivers were needed for XP, and syncing was easy wit...

Picked up this thumbdrive from Amazon.com for an awesome price of $10. It's from Kingston, who I've had great success from the past with. While I've found plenty of Pros with this device, I've not really found any Cons - unless you consider limited color choices important. It came in only one color: off-white. This shape is not unlike most thumbdrives on the market - slightly ob...

My wife and I needed a reliable wireless setup for our Nintendo Wii and DS to play online. After speaking with various friends and their different wireless routers, we decided to give Linksys a try - a good choice thus far. The setup is easy, with software included that gives you two options: setup manually or answer the software's questions and allow it to setup for you. I did the manual i...

To start things off, this game is addicting - insanely addicting. It's akin to Bejeweled meets RPG, smashed together and thrown into a blender. While the overall length of story is short and not quite fullfilling, the gameplay definately makes up for it and is where it shines. The controls are by far the best of the handhelds and consoles (PC, not being a console, has the best controls over...

I received this bad boy for Christmas - one of the lucky ones, I know - and am loving it. My wife and I play it to death. While that may seem a hyperbole, it's not since we've killed 4 pairs of batteries for the Wiimote since Christmas. That's eight batteries dead, never to come back, and I regret nothing. The game is just that awesome.I guess what I enjoy most from this iteration i...

Ghost Squad is the first, true rail-shooter released for the Wii. Released by Sega and is a pretty faithful port of the original arcade shooter, containing all the quirky humor, bad plot, and campy voice-acting that made the original so great. Not to mention, for being under 30 dollars, a must-have for any Wii collection. The game has three modes: Arcade, Training, and Party. It also has great ...

My wife and I picked this up for our ten-month old for Christmas. Turns out this is her favorite toy. She plays with this thing for about ten minutes at a time, which, at her age and curiousity, is pretty spectacular. This stage has four musical instruments embedded into it: guitar, horn, drum, piano keys. It also has a detachable microphone that's actually a rattle. The are four lights tha...

I picked this bad boy up at Wal-mart on Black Friday of 2007. My wife and I needed a new camera after our Fuji Finepix began acting up, needless to say we're extremely pleased. It has a much larger screen than our old one and a few more features, too. It is 7.2 megapixels - which is about 4 megapixels more than anyone, but a professional needs, in my opinion - with 3x optical lens. It uses ...
