The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
I can probably best describe Afro Samurai as incredibly violent Okami. Well, maybe I wouldn’t got as far as to directly compare it to one of the greatest games ever made. The game is based on the hit cartoon series staring Samuel L. Jackson and ageing Asian hottie Kelly Hu (Visas Marr in Knights of…
A lot of us thought the Sony Playstation Portable was on its last legs. Apparently not. Sony is making major investments in the system. At the annual Destination Playstation event, five major titles were announced for the system. –MotorStorm: Arctic Edge: It’s Motorstorm on PSP, this time with an arctic setting. New vehicles include the…
Yesterday, pictures came out of what someone claimed to be the next MacMini. I personally think it’s fake. The blurry camera work is a dead giveaway since it’s a trick that hack photographers have been over using for ages to make pie plates look like UFOs. The use of five USB ports is non-standard and…
There have been many rumors regarding when the Nintendo DSi will hit North American shores. It has finally been confirmed that it will indeed arrive in the United States on April 5th. CNET hailed it as the next evolutionary step in Nintendo’s handheld line. I tend to disagree. The upgrades to the system are relatively…
In my review of the Late 2008 Macbook, I had noted that there were audio clipping issues in Windows Vista. Other Mac users note that it’s a common problem that occurs with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS. As odd as it sounds, the issue is being caused the the Broadcom wireless…
Blu-ray disc has a huge 50gb storage capacity for enough for roughly 10hr of high quality 1080p video. Of course most movies and their special features don’t even fill a single layer disc. Sony had decided to put that extra space to good use by offering discs that include both a movie and a game….
Prince of Persia is a long running game series involving the titular prince adventuring through the ancient Middle East. It originally started out as a combat platformer and indeed the series has remained true to its routes. Once again, this is my introduction to the series. I’m not really sure what to say about this…
I spotted this on eBay.That’s right, some guy actually thinks he’s going to get $99,999 US for a Wii, or $124,000 CAD. In all fairness, he is offering free shipping to Canadian residents. In case you’re wondering what $100,000 gets you… Nintendo Wii and Wii sports (5 games), one controller (wiimote + nunchuk) Gamecube controller…
Resident Evil is a long running game series that has its roots back on the original 3D consoles. I admit I have not played Resident’s Evil 1 to 4 but based on the positive things I’ve heard about the series, the demo of the fifth game sounded promising. The first level in the demo is…
I remember seeing a “mod” in an old issue of CPU magazine showing a guy who made a computer “case” out of a plastic milk crate and duct tape. Arguably the finest and most versatile building materials in the history of man. The third greatest building material is cardboard, if you happen to be six…
