Review by Nick H. The controller is one of the most important parts of a console gaming experience. I know a lot of people worry about how the console looks, and there are some aspects to the console (how well it is built, whether it stays cool or not) that…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I did not even know Afterglow made headsets, let alone produced so many of them. I have seen and used its controllers in the past (often with very good results), but not headphones. The PL-3792 is flashy (literally) and comfortable, but also surprised me in providing…

Read MoreReview by Rob P. What’s this? We’re reviewing memory cards now? Have we gone insane? Fear not, my friend. This memory card is actually pretty cool. I know it sounds unlikely, but trust me on this one. You should definitely keep reading. Let’s start with the bare facts. The Eye-Fi…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. ASUS is one of the world’s largest computer makers but quite often you’ll have more of a discussion about how to say the name of the company’s name rather than talk about each of its individual products (A-Seuss – as in Dr Seuss – for those…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dell isn’t exactly known for its speakers. Sure, it sticks ’em in its laptops and PCs, and it does own the Alienware gaming computer brand where sound quality is important, but when we see that Dell logo, we are generally more inclined to think “dry, boring…
