The Apple Watch was announced back in September, as we have reported before. Since then, there still haven been some things not revealed about it, like the release date, the price, battery life, and other features.

Rock Band 4 is coming to the Xbox One and Sony PS4
I seem to remember that I reported on how the Age of Music Gaming came to a close with the end of Music Hero downloads.

Just to let you know, the last release of Rock Band was back in 2012. Apparently, three years is … [Read more...] about Rock Band 4 is coming to the Xbox One and Sony PS4
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Last Man on Earth (New Fox TV Show)
Okay, now that Transformers month is over, I don't really have a theme for this month. I figured that I would just cover some speculative fiction stuff that is pretty recent. You might notice I put (Fox TV show) after the title, it is because there is an old Vincent Price movie of the same name. This series is all new, premiering last week, and was created by Phil Lord and … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Last Man on Earth (New Fox TV Show)
Hands on with Hand of Fate from Defiant Development
It took me a while before I felt comfortable reviewing Hand of Fate, and I will explain what I mean. Defiant Development's interesting game is definitely unique as it seems combine an action game with a card game. As someone who doesn't play any card style role-playing games, I have no idea if games like Magic are like Hand of Fate. If so, I wonder why I don't play more … [Read more...] about Hands on with Hand of Fate from Defiant Development
Runcible, otherwise known as the “anti-smartphone”
What you are seeing here in this man's hand is the Runcible, and it is created by someone name Monohm who is wanting to create the "anti-smartphone". I guess the best way to describe it is somewhere in between a wearable and a smartphone. After all, smartwatches are wearables that give you a ton of notifications, and then you can actually do something about them on your … [Read more...] about Runcible, otherwise known as the “anti-smartphone”
Nvidia Android Shield and the Valve Steam Link will change the console ecosystem

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
Xiaomi Yi Action Camera could compete with GoPro
I think that we all know how much GoPro has changed the video world forever, so it stands to reason that there will be imitators. What makes it interesting, not to mention newsworthy, is how Xiaomi's Yi Action Camera is able to keep up. The Yi Action Camera has the same features as a GoPro. They are made for built-in Wi-Fi for file transfers and remote control via … [Read more...] about Xiaomi Yi Action Camera could compete with GoPro

Our Lego Batman 3 Review!
Well, after my review of Lego The Hobbit last week, I figured that I should finally review Lego Batman 3. I will have to say that I was pretty pleased with Lego Batman 2, but it has been a while since I played it. One of the things that Lego Batman was able to do was somehow capture the campy spirit of the original Batman 1966 series and mix it with the more darker … [Read more...] about Our Lego Batman 3 Review!

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers, Age of Extinction
Okay, this is the last time I'll be reviewing a Transformers movie, at least this month. Personally, I still think this franchise has at least one good movie left in it, but they'll probably make one good one, plus three bad cash-ins. When that happens, a decade from now, perhaps we will do Transformers month once again. Okay, I honestly don't think there was supposed to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers, Age of Extinction
