When searching for camping supplies, I was looking for the best deal.  We already had a cheap tent, but looking around for something to give us some light.  So we were left with the option of A) a regular lantern, B) a battery operated lantern, and C) a rechargable.  So after weighing the options,  I had to go with C.  I didn't want to pay for batteries or consumabl...

For a digital camcorder buyer new to the market, this was a great buy for me.  Combination of great price and features.  The picture quality is great on this.   The 30 gig hard drive on it also holds plenty of video so you can record as long as the battery holds up.  Buyer advice, if you buy this, buy an extended life battery.  The one that comes with it does not l...

Price wise, the least expensive of the next gen consoles is the Wii.  Cheaper games too.  The graphics are to par with the Gamecube though, and it will play gamecube games as well with a GC controller.  The virtual console also allows people to download older system games such as NES, SNES, and Genesis for a reasonable price.  The game selection is kinda low for the system n...

I'm not a big gamepad user for the PC.  In fact, if there were a religion for PC gaming, I'd be part of the keyboard+mouse tabernacle.  But recently I've taken up console emulation of older systems, and I was forced to abandon the keyboard+mouse just for a little while.  While I was researching, I had two options.  Either get a corded xbox 360 controller, or buy ...

Working construction, I'm pretty demanding when it comes to power tools.  I know what brands to trust for durability and effectiveness.  That's why I usually trust the dewalt brand name.  And this drill is no exception.  It's about standard weight, so it won't be too draining on you for overhead work. Also the batteries last a lot longer than the older 18 vol...

Bought on a whim, this is possibly the best tv I've ever owned. The size was perfect, and the picture quality on dvds and HD channels is amazing.  The dvd player built in is a great addition, as I now don't need an external one hooked up.  Gaming on it is a breeze with the component cable hook ups and HDMI ports on the back.  The side also has RCA jacks too.   T...

Having owned this mouse for a while, I can honestly say without a doubt that I will not want to get another mouse besides this brand ever again.  The ease of use on this thing is amazing.  Very nice button layout.  Great design not only with the buttons, but coloring and feel.  The laser works great on it for gaming and design.  Not too heavy either.  The back and ...

I recently bought this phone from verizon as it was one of the only ones I saw on their site that I liked that fit my price range and was set up for text messaging and such.  Its presented very well.  Nice flip screen in both directions.  Great sound quality.  Only hold ups on it is the battery life, which mainly has to do with verizon's crappy reception here, and the ve...

The 360 is quite possibly the flagship system of the next gen.  Great price compared to the ps3, better graphics than the Wii.  Great feeling controller, both wireless and wired depending on the system.  The wired one can double as a PC controller too.   Great selection of games, most of which are available on the ps3 too though.   Only drawback of the 360 is ...

For the third installment of guitar hero, Activision stepped it up and came through.  Adding boss battles to it, with real guitarists such as Tom Morello and Slash, and getting more real master tracks of songs, this game is a definate step forward.  The wireless les paul controller has its ups and downs.  The buttons are stiffer and the batteries run though it pretty quick. ...

Having played this game with friends, I'm left with mixed feelings.  Promised to be the Guitar Hero killer, I had high hopes.  The game itself is very nice.  Very well presented, lots of songs, more downloadable content, world tour, its a great package.  If you have people that you hang out with, this is the ultimate party game.  Only one problem.  Controller b...

Having bought this car a few years ago, I can say that I love it.  A 98 model, bought with 43,000 miles on it, I have had very little mainainence on it to do.  Only things I have had to do to it besides obvious oil changes and fluid was change out the tie rod ends and wheel bearings.  Its a very smooth riding car, and excellent gas mileage, which is a huge plus now.   O...

After buying this game on the recommendation of a friend, I was hooked.  Based on a spartan named Kratos, you are tricked by the god of war Aries into killing your family, after Aries gave you the power of immortality and to lead an army to conquer.  You then set out on your quest to kill Aries.  The visuals on this game are amazing for the ps2.  The controls are fluid and v...

Finally, they bring back Kratos!  Not to be a spoiler, but heres the review.  After GoW 1, you become the god of war.  You abuse your power though, and Zeus is not a happy camper.  Now stripped of your powers, you go on a quest again, this time to take back what you feel is yours.  They upped the abilities of killing people on this, with the same weapons.  More cli...

So yeah, new transfomers movie by Michael Bay.  That means lots of explosions, car chases, and more explosions.  How can they go wrong?  By adding humans.  I went into this movie with high hopes of awesomeness.  I really wish they had done better casting.  The main teenager is annoying and whinny.  And of course opposite of him they cast an attractive girl jus...

I own 3 different versions of this game.  First being the gamecube release.  Bought it cause Im a huge fan of the series.  The game itself is a complete redesign of the series.  No longer regular zombies, they are infected by a parasite.  You are on a mission to rescue the president's daughter.  The control scheme for the gamecube version and ps2 version are a ...

Not usually a huge fan of Tarentino movies, this one was a surprise.  I must admit though, the first hour of this movie will proably bore you to tears.  Its a great build up for the rest, but they could have really done without a lot of it.  Some of the women are down right annoying too.  But once Kurt hits the screen, it picks up some.  Also, word of warning, this movi...

As the second half of Grindhouse, I was kinda disappointed.  I thought with the director, and zombies, it was a no fail.  The movie seems very long and drawn out.  I know its suppose to be a throw back to the grindhouse days, but the acting in this is downright horrible in some scenes.  As much as I wanted to get into it, I just couldn't.  You really don't get t...

If you have not seen this movie, and you like action/thrillers, GO BUY THIS NOW!  Its the story of two brothers in NYC who are pushed too far, and finally fight back, deciding to kill off mob members that are polluting their streets.  Great acting by everying, including William Defoe.  The brothers are instantly loveable by the audience, and you want them to succeed no matter wha...

Being a huge fan of the first game, and loving the second for ps2, I had to buy this for 360 when it came out.  They added new songs to it, and added downloadable content.  People that have never played this before, its a rhythym game.  You have a guitar shaped controller with 5 buttons, and a strum bar.  You press the buttons according to whats on the screen, and strum alon...
