Toys are great, especially tech toys as they offer us a nice diversion and some relaxation to help take the stresses out of our daily lives.

Today for review I’ve got a cool little gadget from USBGeek that will allow you to torment your co-workers and friends from a distance wirelessly. A while ago I looked at the USB Missile Launcher, today I’ve got the wireless version of it, it’s basically the same just without a wire attached to the launcher tethered to your computer. The wireless version has a transmitter that is hooked to your computer via USB, and the actual launcher can be placed up to 15 feet away for some long distance fun.

I went to E3errrr PAX. To be honest, the show has come a long ways in five years from when it was in that insanely small venue from the first two years. I played a lot of games, talked to a lot of people, and ate a lot of Cliff Bars. Overall, my impression on the show itself was mixed. Its obvious the people at Penny-Arcade are gods now, and they put everything they had into it. In execution though, there was so much that could have been done that was simply out of Gabe and Tychos hands.

Title: Stalker Clear Sky PC-Game Review on Technic3D

Link: http://www.technic3d.com/article-732,1-stalker-clear-sky-aus-der-zone-in-die-zone.htm

Quote: “The Stalker Clear Sky PC Game from DeepSilver arrived Technic3D. Go back one year from the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. In Clear Sky, a group of stalkers has reached the heart of the Zone - Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. An immense blowout of anomalous energy changes the Zone. There are no more reliable and relatively safe roads. Entire levels vanish in the outbursts of anomalies. Stalkers and even expeditions die or end up sealed on the lost territories. New areas, which remained unknown since the time of the Zone emergence, appear on the Zone map. Changes of the Zone map known to stalkers shake the fragile balance of forces in the Zone. Among the groupings, there flare up hostilities for the new territories, artifact fields and spheres of influence. Everyone is now out for himself. You are a mercenary who appeared at the edge of the opposition between stalker factions, Strelok and the Zone itself. You play the key role in the events that led to creation of the Zone up to the point from which the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game begins. Better with DirectX10? See you in the following Review.”

Date: 09-05-2008 By Vlad If you’ve played and liked Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, then you will really have a blast playing through Devil May Cry 4. It is a beautiful game from just about every aspect. The story is well written, the voice acting is done fairly well, and the graphics are outstanding. The music can be debated; personally I liked it, but depending on your personal tastes, you might feel differently. The gameplay can also be debated as others may like it, or think its just some rehash…

This article explains why the iPhone port of Myst will be successful in areas where other portable consoles have failed.

“Since its initial release Myst has been ported to multiple platforms, such as Windows, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS. Although the game enjoyed great success on PC, scoring a respectable 90% on Game Rankings, the same can’t be said of the handheld ports, scoring 56%/53% on the PSP/DS respectively, which raises the question, where did the PSP/DS go wrong, and will the iPhone be doomed to the same fate?”
