Xbox 720 Now that the first details of the next generation Xbox have begun to “leak,” it is possible to get a reasonably good understanding of what Microsoft has in store for the gaming public later this year. First things first, at this point in time, there are few hard facts in circulation and we are only going on rumor and speculation, so take everything you read hereafter with a pinch of salt. That being [...]
Gigabyte’s soon to be released Aivia Uranium would look like a regular wireless gaming mouse, if it didn’t come with its own monochrome OLED display. I must admit that I am something of a traditionalist when it comes to gaming peripherals – I like my wires, because I hate plugging things into chargers almost as much as I hate changing batteries. That being said, cutting the wires does tend to keep things a little bit [...]
The word on the street is that Microsoft is planning to make the new Xbox an always-on device. By always-on they don’t mean always powered-up, they mean always connected to the Internet… it will not work unless you have an Internet connection. I, for one, think this whole always-on trend is absolutely horrible – it also happens to be terribly elitist. By now most people have an Internet connection, but there are gamers out there [...]
These days better games will give you multiple story arcs, but I don’t think any have ever gone quite as far as The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. The game features 36 different “world-states,” each with an ending of its own. That would be good in and of itself, but The Witcher 3 takes things much, much further by creating hundreds of slightly different outcomes based on player choices made throughout the game. According to [...]
If you’re a tried and true gamer, then chances are you may still have a few old school systems in your repertoire. But who wants to look at all of those electric boxes laying around? The Retron 5 sounds like the name of a spaceship, but is actually a smart solution for your clutter. The system supports the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Famicon, and Game Boy Advanced systems, allowing you to play all of your games [...]
Though many of us are gamers at heart, we’re still adults that often have to wear our big boy suits to work. So how do we add a little bit of our own personalities in the corporate world? I’ll tell you how- with Video Game Controller Cufflinks. Whether your weapon of choice is the Super Nintendo, Sony Playstation, Nintendo Sega Genesis, or the Xbox 360, there is a set of links for you. Each set is [...]
I don’t know if it’s that the “mid-30′s” has me feeling like an old man, or if everything from my childhood was factually better than everything now, but let’s face it- Nintendo NES was the Michael Jordan of the gaming world. So why not show your pride with a hand-crafte, seven piece NES living room furniture set? The set comes complete with an NES coffee table, 2 NES controller coasters, 2 large game cartridge side [...]
Over the past few days I have spent a good portion of my free time and plenty of time that I should have spent working playing Kalypso Media’s Omerta: City of Gangsters, a combination of strategy and turn-based combat that is, in some ways a throwback to games of yore. You start out as a Sicilian immigrant, fresh off the boat with five dollars in his pocket. From there you embark on a journey of [...]
You know what the biggest problem with your light switch is? It’s not nerdy enough. But with Think Geek’s help you can change all that. The light switch Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate takes something as simple as turning your lights off and on, and makes it as fun as trying to shoot down all of the aliens that keep stealing people off of your planet, and then simultaneously catching said victims before they fall to their deaths. [...]
You’d think that in 2013 we’d have perfected the art of being able to spot false advertising, consider that with dozens of Internet sites reviewing everything from spray foam insulation to eatable candy underware for men, you’d expect that people would weed out these cockamamie gadgets. We don’t. Occasionally we’ll walk into a store, see a pretty box and think, “Hey, that looks neat, let me drop 40$ on it.” or like Fry said in [...]
Playing games on your handheld is great, but not if you have to use your fat thumbs on the screen, or a joystick-like device that doesn’t work correctly. Enter the Phonejoy Play: a game-playing device for your iPhone, iPad, or Android that allows you to maximize the entire screen, and easily slide your phone in or out. Believe it or not, the Phonejoy also works with your PC, as well as over 150 Android and [...]
Imagine it: A full-sized videogame machine that doubles as a kegerator. Now open your eyes and look at the picture. That’s right, you drunken game-playas and playettes, your fantasy is now a reality, and it’s called Arkeg Drink-n-Game. The machine comes fully assembled, locked, and loaded with a ton of games, and an operational draft system. The screen is a 24-inch, Hi-def LCD, and your ears will ring from the sounds that come from the 2.1 [...]
