Cyber Snipa GamePad V2
Gideon Tech :: Monday, March 17, 2008
“There are enough keys on the gamepad to provide everything you need to frag your opponent. They enlarged the standard movement keys to help with the cramping you can get in your hand. This new version has changed the color of some of the keys to help you recognize your options.”
Sam and Max: Chariots Of The Dogs (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Monday, March 17, 2008
Chariot Of The Dogs is the latest in the long line of game shorts released for the PC and it focuses on the missing store clerk Bosco. I missed him from the last game so before I even started playing I knew this would be a great addition to the series. I am glad I was not wrong because this game is absolutely brilliant and is laced with the satire we all expect from the Sam and Max games.

Timeshift PC Review
Gamepyre :: Wednesday, March 12, 2008
Timeshift has a lot of potential to be a great game, but unfortunately never hits the greatness it could achieve. Don’t get me wrong, I had fun with the game, but it isn’t a must play type title. The game has dropped in price a bit at some online stores. Buying from Sierra directly will only run you about $30 for the download, though the console versions can get a bit pricier. The game is worth $30 if the subject matter interests you and you’re looking for a game to pass the time until the next big release. However if you’re looking for a groundbreaking First Person Shooter title with endless amounts of replay value, then I would suggest that you keep looking.
Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty (Xbox 360)
Gaming Heaven :: Wednesday, March 12, 2008
If the United States had never been involved in World War II, history would be very different with Nazi Germany probably controlling most of Europe and Asia. Turning Point makes this scenario a virtual reality.
As the game starts the storyline is laid out, Winston Churchill, instead of being injured by a taxi in New York in 1931, was killed. This is the Turning Point for the change in history. Geddit?
Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator Review
Hardware Logic :: Wednesday, March 12, 2008
“Most of us wouldn’t think of letting a piranha anywhere near our noggin, but this isn’t the first time Razer’s gone against conventional wisdom. In fact, Razer owes its very existence to this type of thinking. Once considered a niche market, Razer gambled on the future of competitive gaming and arguably helped take the little known segment and cast it into the mainstream limelight. It started with a line of ultra sensitive mice, and today Razer’s product line runs the gamut from gaming keyboards to a growing line of audio solutions.
Today we’re focusing on the latter with Razer’s new Piranha Gaming Communicator, or in layman’s terms, headset with microphone. Hoping to strike a balance between comfort and all-around performance, does Razer’s Piranha pack enough bite, or is this one fish we’re better off throwing back?”
