Right now, E3 2015 is happening right now at the LA Convention Center, and if you aren't familiar with it, it is the biggest video game conference. Unfortunately, I am not there, but the two big guns of Microsoft and Sony have already made their announcements before the show Electronic Entertainment Expo even started. I'm just going to put some of the highlights in no … [Read more...] about Big announcements from Microsoft and Sony before E3 2015

Technobabylon from WadjetEye Games
Okay, I had a chance to try out Technobabylon, and I have to admit it reminds me of Sierra Online games like Space Quest, but with a more dystopian twist. Technobabylon, which I will readily admit I will give points for on its sheer name alone, takes place in a world of 2087. In this world, it appears that Big Brother has arrived 100 years too late, as there is an … [Read more...] about Technobabylon from WadjetEye Games
Razer creates a Firefly gaming mat
I have reviewed a lot of Razer products in the past, and they are best known for their video game or PC gaming accessories. One of the things that I really love is how they can really make gaming mice interesting, and now, a gaming mousepad. Yes, the Razer Firefly is able to put some chromatic magic to your desk. Considering that the company is famous for some serious … [Read more...] about Razer creates a Firefly gaming mat

There will be some updates to Guitar Hero from Activision. The first will be GH Live, a feature that will allow the player to go up in front of a crowd and perform in front of either a … [Read more...] about Guitar Hero Live coming this Fall
How Minecraft will affect the next generation
I have been meaning to write about Minecraft for a long time, because my kids love it so much. My children are of varying ages from 7-12, and they all play Minecraft on the PS4 and on mobile devices. My daughter has said that Minecraft is "her favorite thing in the whole world", and this is a world full of puppies and My Little Pony. If you are not familiar with … [Read more...] about How Minecraft will affect the next generation
The Audio-Technica ATH-PDG1 Premium Gaming Headset
I've always been pleased with Audio-Technica products, and I was pleased to write about the ATH-PDG1 Premium Gaming Headphones. The last gaming headphones that I tried were from PDP, with the Afterglow Kral. These headphones may not glow at the ears, but they are quite good. I am not certain if I can really classify these as gaming headphones, because right now, I'm … [Read more...] about The Audio-Technica ATH-PDG1 Premium Gaming Headset
The Afterglow Kral Wireless Headset from PDP, a hands-on review
I have always loved PDP products, ever since I reviewed their afterglow controllers for last generations' video game consoles. That was so long ago, that I don't even want to link to that. Let's just say that they make good products, okay? Needless to say, I was pretty glad that I had another chance to review another great PDP product, and the Afterglow Kral (named after … [Read more...] about The Afterglow Kral Wireless Headset from PDP, a hands-on review
Nintendo looking to a donut-shaped screen?
This is one of those rumored technologies that I may never see develop, but there is a rumor that Nintendo is looking for the technology to create donut-shaped screens. Of course, the question that you have to ask yourself is why? After all, why have a donut shaped screen? Well, if you think about what Nintendo does, it is gaming. Their controllers have controllers, and … [Read more...] about Nintendo looking to a donut-shaped screen?
Nintendo discontinues Amiibo Figures
We have talked about the Amiibo figures before with their appearance at E3 last summer. What is interesting is now that these figures are out, Nintendo is discontinuing them. Here is the Nintendo figures that are being discontinuing: Marth, the Wii Fit Trainer and Villager. It is interesting to see that they are discontinued, but there isn't really a good reason why. … [Read more...] about Nintendo discontinues Amiibo Figures
The Siberia V3 Prism and the Rival Optical Mouse
I've reviewed a lot of SteelSeries products in the past few years. The last time I reviewed a pair of Siberia headphones, it was the Siberia Elite, this time it is the V3 Prism Gaming Headset. Oh, I'm also reviewing the Rival Mouse, but I'll get to that. The V3 Prism headset has "Upgraded sound". I am not certain what this is, but it has these cool almost spring-loaded … [Read more...] about The Siberia V3 Prism and the Rival Optical Mouse
Dexmo Exoskeleton allows the user to “touch” VR items
In case you are wondering what you are seeing here is not some device that you hook up to your hand and forces you to type. I'm not looking forward to the dystopian world where that exists, but I'm not certain whether or not a work with the Dexmo Exoskeleton by Dexta Technologies will be a perfect utopia. The Dexmo Exoskeleton is designed to track the position of your … [Read more...] about Dexmo Exoskeleton allows the user to “touch” VR items
Razer Leviathan is the Ultimate Soundbar
I've reviewed Razer's products before, and their name is synonymous with cool gaming accessories like the OrbWeaver. It seems strange that the company would be going with a soundbar, but the Leviathan is that and a subwoofer combo package. The Leviathan has a 2.1 channel design with two .74-inch tweeters, two 2.5 full range driver, as well as a subwoofer. This all comes … [Read more...] about Razer Leviathan is the Ultimate Soundbar

For those that just have to game, you have options. You could use a laptop, a portable gaming system, or you could just put your Xbox or Playstation on a Vanguard and take it with you wherever you want to go. The Vanguard is essentially a portable gaming system with a 19 inch LED display and stereo speakers.

Plantronics RIG SURROUND PC Gaming Headset
I might as well start by telling you that I am reviewing a product that I have reviewed before, at least in its first iteration. The Plantronics RIG SURROUND is a step up from the Plantronics RIG, and it shows. Actually, I should say that it blows. Okay, that doesn't sound right, unless your implying that it blows your eardrums off. The first had 40mm drivers, but this … [Read more...] about Plantronics RIG SURROUND PC Gaming Headset
HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset from Kingston
I had a chance to see Kingston at PAXPrime 2014, and this company known for storage devices like thumb drives had other terrific products out like the HyperX Cloud Pro Gaming Headset. I am assuming that they are called Pro Gaming Headset because pro-gamers (and they do exist) would love to use them. It has a solid aluminum build with 53mm drivers. I'm using them right … [Read more...] about HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset from Kingston
