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

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. If you don't want the loud sound, you can always use the 3.5mm … [Read more...] about The Vanguard by GAEMS
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
Microsoft to purchase Minecraft maker Mojang
I guess this is one of those articles that I just "had" to write, but chances are, you probably already heard about it. So, here it is: Microsoft has bought Mojang, creator of Minecraft. If you don't know what Minecraft is, all I have to say is: where have you been? My kids are into this game that allows for building all kinds of things with 1 x 1 blocks. In all … [Read more...] about Microsoft to purchase Minecraft maker Mojang
We’re here at PAX Prime 2014 in Seattle!
Should I say anything more? Well, for those who don't know, PAX Prime is a big Gamers convention in Seattle. There are more of them, like PAX East, PAX South, PAX Aus, and PAX Dev, all at different locations, but I don't really know much about the last one. Unlike some gaming conventions, this one is not made for the gaming industry. PAX began in Seattle, and it was … [Read more...] about We’re here at PAX Prime 2014 in Seattle!

It also runs KitKat (Android 4.4), has a Micro SD expansion slot for boosting internal storage up to 128GB, and has both front and rear facing … [Read more...] about Nvidia Shield Tablet gets an upgrade
Google wants to give you control over its Android TV
I realize that I spent a lot of time yesterday talking about Google I/O's cardboard, but I really should have been talking about Android TV. Apparently, I must have missed reporting on that, but if you can make developing apps for smart televisions, you should do it. Now, Android TV allows users to mirror apps on their big screen as well as their tablet or smartphone. I … [Read more...] about Google wants to give you control over its Android TV
Steve Jackson’s Sorcery comes alive on your mobile phone (Chapter 1)
For some reason, I seem to be reviewing a lot of adventure games, as The Last Door and Quest for Infamy were on my game playlist. I happened to try out Steve Jackson's Sorcery for the mobile phone platform, and I will say that it is complex as it is interesting. If you don't know who Steve Jackson is, I understand. He is a big name in the role-playing game world, … [Read more...] about Steve Jackson’s Sorcery comes alive on your mobile phone (Chapter 1)
Quest for Infamy, another terrific point-and-click adventure game
Some of you might remember my review of The Last Door last week, and how I liked playing these old-school point-and-click adventure games, even if they had graphics like...The Last Door. I found another game on Steam known as Quest for Infamy which has a lot better resolution and gameplay that is just, if even not more, fun. Quest for Infamy is essentially a … [Read more...] about Quest for Infamy, another terrific point-and-click adventure game
Big Announcements for E3 2014
Okay, if you aren't familiar with video games, there is a big convention in LA every year known as E3. We at TheGeekChurch.com haven't been for a few years. By we, I mean me. However, I like to make certain that my readers know what's up with video games, so here's the skinny for the big three this year. Nintendo: I know that I have said that this company's days are … [Read more...] about Big Announcements for E3 2014
Nyko Charge Base for the PS4
I have reviewed Nyko products before, and this is the first one that I reviewed for the PS4. The Charge Base for the PS4 is related to the Charge Base PS3, and works in a similar fashion. The Charge Base for the PS4 has these two custom USB charge adaptors that can attach to the micro-USB part of the controller. The adaptors can lock into the base which is plugged into … [Read more...] about Nyko Charge Base for the PS4
Plantronics RIG Headset and Mixer
I'm not certain if Plantronics' RIG should always be capitalized, but right now, it is speaking in all capitals on my ears. Seriously, this pair of headphones has some serious bass that is rocking me with 40 mm speaker drivers. The RIG is designed for the PC, Xbox, or PS3, but it is also made for the mobile in mind. You can see in the illustration here this circular thing … [Read more...] about Plantronics RIG Headset and Mixer

I've had a chance to review a lot of gaming headphones in the past, such as those from SteelSeries, and I was pleased to try out the NASH 20 from Mionix. The NASH 20 has a 18mm memory foam headband with a soft touch rubber coated surface. It has swivel ear cups and 22 mm memory foam ear pads. I'm not certain why they chose black as their color, but hey, it is pretty … [Read more...] about Mionix NASH 20 Gaming Headphones
Loading Human is a VR game that I want to play right now!
I know that yesterday I talked about a video game franchise that is on the cusp of dying (Metroid, please don't let it die). Today I'm going to talk about a video game that is on the cusp of setting a new standard. What are seeing here in the image is a screenshot from a named called Loading Human. Do not confuse this with Almost Human, a series that sadly is planned to … [Read more...] about Loading Human is a VR game that I want to play right now!
