Star Trek: The Game review – Boldly going where no game has gone before
4 days ago
I was really looking forward to playing Star Trek: The Game. With the gameplay looking similar to Uncharted and Mass Effect and developer Digital Extremes working on it (they did an awesome job with Darkness II), how can the game be bad? Somehow it did, and what we’re left with is a very glitchy More >

It’s been a long time since I’ve bought a sound system. My last sound system was a Logitech one that I bought more than five years ago.

Review: Nuu MiniKey for iPhone 5

Let’s face it the iPhone’s keyboard is not the most well designed keyboard in the crowded smartphone market. I like to type messages fast, but doing this on the iPhone results in typos and possibly auto-correct mistakes. It’s not really efficient when you’re out and about (like at lunch) and More >
