The Sifteo is one of those products that you really have to see in order to believe, or even just to describe. I will make my best attempt. Imagine three tiny touchscreens that you can put together to create all kinds of games. For example, you can "neighbor" two Sifteos together in order to create an effect of moving from one screen to the other. You can also flip, tilt, … [Read more...] about Sifteo Cubes means Intelligent Play

Are Nintendo’s Days Numbered?
Last week, I forgot to cover an announcement from the big N with the 2DS. A lot of people think that is a serious step down, and the commercial that I uploaded seems like a Saturday Night Live fake ad. It feels really stupid to say this, but does anyone think it is odd that Nintendo is doing something whose greatest claim is "can play 3D games in 2D"? I guess … [Read more...] about Are Nintendo’s Days Numbered?
PlayPad Pro Android Controller from Nyko
I always like reviewing products from Nyko, and I was very pleased to try out the successor to the PlayPad with the PlayPad Pro. I found that this PlayPad Pro is a definite upgrade, especially with the shape. The old looked more like the original NES controller, while this one looks as ergonomic as modern console controllers like the PS3. In fact, the PlayPad Pro bears a … [Read more...] about PlayPad Pro Android Controller from Nyko

They have recently announced Siberia Elite Gaming Headset with Dolby technology for 7.1 virtual surround sound. The Siberia Elite has a self-adjusting suspension system connected to a sandblasted steel arc. It has leather earcups, and there are these illuminated light … [Read more...] about SteelSeries announces the Siberia Elite
New game for the Google Glass called PSYCLOPs
I think we all know that Google Glass is probably going to be the future, if it ever gets to the point where an average consumer could afford it. Yes, I really wish I could, so I could play PSYCLOPs. You can watch the video so you can see the PSYCLOPs in action. This augmented reality game is ported on a Kindle, because I can assume that a video of the AR glasses would not … [Read more...] about New game for the Google Glass called PSYCLOPs
X-Rebirth seeks to change video games
It really is great to see where we are with gaming. I think it is pretty awesome that I can walk Link through a three-dimensional world, but I am always craving more. It looks like a game known as X Rebrith is made for that. I have seen a lot of games that have wonderful backgrounds of exotic cities, but these are usually just paintings or pixels, with no way a character … [Read more...] about X-Rebirth seeks to change video games
ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
I have tried out Roccat products before, such as the Kone [+] Gaming Mouse. Now that I have had a chance to try out the Kone Pure, I can't help but compare the two. First of all, it is 91 percent of the Kone [+], in size. It has the cool cord but instead of having a 6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor, this has a 8200dpi Pro-Aim R3 laser sensor. The Kone [+] has an integrated … [Read more...] about ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
I think this would truly show your age if you remember a game known as Paperboy. There may be a lot of readers who don't know what it is, but it was a mid-eighties stand-up arcade game where you played a paperboy. The game had a bicycle handlebars as a controller, and your character dodged obstacles like cars backing up and more. Who knew that the life of a paperboy was so … [Read more...] about Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
Disney Research’s AIREAL brings tactile feedback to the Kinect
It seems like Disney Research is always working on something interesting, like a robot that can play catch. Now, they have created a device known as AIREAL (pronounce it like Ariel, the Little Mermaid) which brings haptic feedback to the Kinect. You heard me right. All that motion control that Kinect gives will soon have an element of touch to it. I case you are … [Read more...] about Disney Research’s AIREAL brings tactile feedback to the Kinect
KickShot: Soccer as a board game
I am not certain why Americans have never really embraced football, and I mean soccer. Fortunately, we are making up for it by having soccer teams for our kids. KickShot is a game that brings soccer indoors, and even though it can be played by children, it is engaging for adults as well. The game is set up with a board that looks like a soccer field, and a small soccer … [Read more...] about KickShot: Soccer as a board game
Yesterday by Bulky Pix is one killer point-and-click gaming app
I was pleased with G5's release of Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World, and how I wished there were more point-and-click games. If you don't know what a point in click game is, just think of a game where you point and click on things. Generally, these games are about playing a character, and then exploring a limited world in order to get to another room. I used to love … [Read more...] about Yesterday by Bulky Pix is one killer point-and-click gaming app

There is an interesting company called BlueStacks, which is putting out a GamePop Mini. The GamePop Mini is different, as the company is essentially giving away a free version of the console with a monthly … [Read more...] about BlueStacks GamePop Mini is Android goodness
Xbox One Internet Connection requirement not required anymore
About a weak ago, I talked about how Sony and Microsoft had put their best foot forward at E3. I was concerned that Microsoft's Xbox One would lose this console war, due to its requirement to be connected to the Internet once every 24 hours. This looked bad for Microsoft, as Sony didn't have that requirement. I have heard that someone in the military asked Microsoft that … [Read more...] about Xbox One Internet Connection requirement not required anymore
Sony and Microsoft put their best foot forward at E3
Now that E3 is about to wrap up soon, depending on when this posts. We should talk about what the big console companies announced at the biggest video game convention of the year. The Wii U is already out, and I suppose there is only a few new games that I look forward to like Super Mario World 3D. But Sony has the PS4 coming out this Christmas, and Xbox One is also … [Read more...] about Sony and Microsoft put their best foot forward at E3
Mad Catz unveils M.O.J.O. Android gaming console
