I quite like this deoderant. It has a very nice scent; noticeable, but not overly strong, even if you apply it in mass amounts. It lasts quite long, and can cover up the smell from working out and sweating. It also leaves you feeling somewhat clean after you put it on. It also has a very nice looking can; it is entirely white, with small blue circles and blue text. Like most cans of Axe de...

I recently bought a pair of these headphones from an online store called DealExtreme. I was shopping there for some cables, and I came across these super-cheap headphones; they were only $5 and DealExtreme doesn't charge shipping. I decided to buy them because of 2 reasons: one, because Sony made them, and I've had good experiences with Sony ear and headphones; and two, because they loo...

This is an excellent gaming mouse. It is a laser mouse, up to 2000 dpi. It has 10 buttons, 1 scroll wheel, and a mini LCD screen. Three of the buttons are used for on-the-fly DPI switching (you choose the DPIs in a program included with the mouse), one of the buttons is used to launch the mouse customization software (SetPoint) in Windows XP, or launch Games Explorer in Windows V...

Cheap, affordable speakers for your desktop, laptop, or anything that it can plug into. There are 2 speakers included; one on the left, one on the right. It has a power switch, a volume knob, and a plug for headphones. No software is needed to use this; just plug it into a computer and a wall outlet (it requires its own power source) and start playing music, games, movies, etc. The sound qualit...

This is a very hard strategy game. That being said, it is also very rewarding whenever you accomplish something. This game is a direct sequel to the Fire Emblem game for the GameCube, titled "Fire Emblem: Path of Radience". It features many returning characters, and also many new ones. The story is excellent, provided you've played the prequel. If you haven't, many of the refe...

Contra 4, the newest Contra game in the long running franchise. The Contra series is known to be one of the hardest platforming series ever made, and this game is no exception. It will take a significant amount of skill and patience to clear this game, even on the easy difficulty setting. The storyline is very small: aliens have invaded Earth, and it is up to you (and a friend if playing cooper...

A nice, affordable low-spec video card. If you recently bought a new computer and are looking for a cheap upgrade, this is the card for you. I found it in a Canadian Tiger Direct for $75 in the bargain section. It comes with 256MB of VRAM, and DirectX10 support if you're running Windows Vista. On the downside, this is not a very powerful card; there are much more powerful, and expensive, ca...

This is a USB gamepad for your PC. The layout is practically the same as the popular DualShock for Playstation and Playstation 2. You have a D-pad on the left side of the controller, 4 face buttons on the right side, 2 analog sticks on the left and the right, 4 shoulder buttons, and 2 buttons in the middle (Start and Select, basically). There is also a button for turning the rumble feature on o...

The seventh game in the long running Fire Emblem series, and the first Fire Emblem game to be released worldwide. This is an excellent TBSRPG (Turn Based Strategy Role Playing Game), and fans of both strategy games and role playing games will enjoy it. The storyline is great; tons of characters, side stories, and plot twists. The difficulty though, is quite challenging. Similar to all Fire Embl...

The Logitech Curve headphones looks alright, sounds great, but quite uncomfortable. It comes with a few additional parts: spare ear cushions, in case the ones that come attached to the headphones break, and "comfort rings", which are the rubber rings around the headphones. There are 2 styles of comfort rings included: one pair that hooks on to the top of your ears, and another pair wh...

The EZ-Flash V is a Flash Cart for the Nintendo DS handheld gaming console. A flash cart is basically a tool to allow homebrew software, such as MP3 playing software, to be run on your Nintendo DS or DS Lite. Additionally, it can also be used to pirate DS games, but neither the makers of the flash cart or the flash cart community condone this. There are many brands of flash ...

Another game in the Resident Evil franchise, but this time, it plays like an arcade light gun game. If you've played anything like House of the Dead, or Time Crisis, this game should feel somewhat familiar. The only thing you control in the game is your gun; the game is "on-rails", which means that the computer does the walking and looking for you. You do have limited control...

Read or Die is an OVA (Original Video Animation, sort of like a movie split up into parts) of a manga (Japanese comic book) called, obviously, Read or Die. It is about a secret agent named Yomiko Readman and her adventures with the British Library, who asks her to retrieve a book stolen by a criminal organization bent on destroying humanity. Even if you have no previous experience with the mang...

Super Mario Strikers for the Nintendo Gamecube vaguely resembles a soccer game. Sure, you kick a ball into a net, but that's the only similarity between this game and soccer. Unlike normal soccer, there are no rules against violence; feel free to ram other players to your heart's content. The violence portrayed in this game isn't very objectionable, as in there's no blood or any...

Quake 4 is the lastest installment in the venerable Quake series, made by id Software, arguably the pioneer of first-person shooting games. While Quake games have been known for their innovative and fresh gameplay, plus bleeding edge graphics, Quake 4 does not do that, as it runs off the still-great Doom 3 engine. None the less, Quake 4 is an excellent game that all FPS fans should play.In the ...

Eiken OVA is an OVA adaptation of a not-so-popular manga, Eiken. For the most part, the story is weak and the characters are boring, but at least the setting's not bad.Eiken takes place in a Zashono Academy, a huge institition comprising of elementary, junior high, and high schools. The main character is Densuke Mifune, who recently enrolled into the high school. Soon after h...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the 3rd, and arguably the best, game in the Super Smash Bros. series. If you own a Wii and don't have this game, then go out RIGHT NOW and buy it. Seriously, just stop reading this and go buy it; it is an excellent game.Right, now that you're back, let's get started. The Super Smash Bros. series of games started way back on the N64, as a little game that Nin...

The Sony MDRJ10L headphones, my personal headphones of choice. Out of all the headphones I've used, I always come back to these ones. They're comfortable, sound great, and affordable.The first thing that made me notice these headphones were the shape. As you can see from the photo, they're quite unique. They loop around the back of your ear, making them very secure. The actual earbu...

Read on to find out!)-Storyline ...

I've finally gotten my hands on a copy of FFIV for the DS, and it was well worth the wait. Excellent graphics and sound; a great, in-depth, and emotional storyline; and a well developed cast make this one of the greatest Final Fantasy games ever made.Final Fantasy IV was first released on the Super Nintendo, as Final Fantasy II. Since SquareSoft (as they were then known) brought the origina...
