Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review
|
|
There aren`t a whole lot of negatives, but I`d be remiss if I didn`t mention Blood Dragon`s UPlay account requirement, even if you by the Steam version like I did. I certainly wouldn`t consider it a deal breaker, but I know some people hate any digital DRM outside of Steam. Unfortunately, if you`re a fan of achievements, there are curiously no Steam Achievements, despite them existing on UPlay. Other than that, there were some minor texture glitches (though you may never even notice them unless you look hard), and vehicles can only be driven in first-person, which can be quite jarring if you`re used to switching to third-person view when in vehicles like I am. All these things are minor qualms, but they are worth mentioning. The other thing that is worth mentioning is the game`s Mature rating. Blood Dragon certainly has its fair share of foul language and sexual content, not to mention its extreme violence. If those things offend you, you may want to steer clear."

Google Play Music Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
With its All Access subcription service, the updated Google Play Music has come of age. The inclusion of this subscription service trumps Apple`s iTunes, and Google delivers an excellent, well-designed system, with a large catalog of any music most people are likely to crave, and a beautiful, full-function interface similar to Rdio`s."

Gigabyte Aivia Osmium (MX Brown) Gaming Keyboard Review @ Hardware Secrets
|
|
Not long ago, we received the Aivia Osmium keyboard from Gigabyte for reviewing. Imagine our surprise when we received another Aivia Osmium with almost no difference in the presentation, aside from having white illumination instead of blue, and featuring Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches instead of the red model. The boxes have different visuals, but the consumer has to keep a keen eye to know which Osmium he or she is buying because there is no hint in their names (like Osmium Brown or Osmium Red, for instance). Let`s test this new Osmium and compare it to the one previously reviewed the main thing here is to know the difference between those two types of mechanical switches."

Defiance Review: Resistance is Not Futile @ Techgage
|
|
When entering the world of Defiance for the first time, its wise to take everything you know about MMOs and purge it from memory. This is a game that strives to be a bit different, and the fact that the entire game can be completed solo and has no leveling system is a good hint to that. But the important question: is it worth your time?"

Thermaltake Knucker Plunger Gaming Keyboard @ Benchmark Reviews
|
|
In today`s throw away culture it seems that nothing is sacred anymore, spending ~$100 on a keyboard seems like nothing to some folks with seamlessly disposable income, but not all of us have that luxury. To this end Thermaltake`s Tt eSPORTS division have created the Knucker Plunger Gaming Keyboard (model: KB-KNK008). The Knucker Gaming Keyboard was designed and priced to sit part way between a regular rubber dome keyboard and a mechanical switch keyboard. The end result is what Thermaltake call `Plunger switch technology`, a semi-mechanical rubber dome setup that gives tactile feel of mechanical switches at a much lower cost. Here at Benchmark Reviews we aim to give you the information you want without all the hype, so you can make an educated decision for yourself. Read on to find out if the Knucker Keyboard is all that it promises to be."

Mad Catz M.O.U.S.9 Wireless Mouse
|
|
A nice looking, feature rich and wireless compact mouse is one of the things i always wanted to marry with my notebook but to date i haven`t been able to find the ideal one. Microsoft and Logitech have released quite a few (some of which with good specifications) but none of those actually peaked my interest (nor caught my eye for that matter), at least not enough for me to actually pack one of them with my primary Toshiba Qosmio notebook. I did consider using the excellent wireless R.A.T.9 by Mad Catz a while ago but its size along with the external battery charging bay were a bit too much for use with a notebook. Well it seems that Mad Catz also thinks the same way as i and so they just launched the M.O.U.S.9 Wireless Bluetooth Mouse which looks a lot like the R.A.T.9 but takes less space, is more battery efficient and is much lighter."

Wolf 15 Piece Watch Box Review
|
|
When we started reviewing watches nearly a year ago we never expected to receive so many possitive comments in our email and Facebook page, especially since we had never done something similar in the past and watches don`t really belong in electronics (although they do come pretty close nowadays). Of course because i also happen to like watches a lot and consider them to be pretty much the only jewlery men can wear i was particularly happy to see that many others feel the same as i. However people who happen to own many watches again such as i emailed us asking which watch box we recommend from the vast number of available ones in the market and that actually caught us off guard because lets face it watches can be squeezed in an electronics related review site but a watch box? Still since this is directly related to watches and also because we did promise that we`d do our best to try and deliver reviews of specific products requested by you we started scouting local stores and the net to find the ideal solution. The search ended after a full week when we stumbled accross the 15 Piece Watch Box by Wolf."

Video Perspective: iBuyPower Revolt R770 Mini-ITX Gaming PC Review
|
|
Overall, the iBuyPower Revolt system is a solid machine that offers a lot of value for the price. It`s not the best looking machine, not the highest performing and not the quietest we have tested but it find a great middle ground in all aspects. If you are looking for a pre-built gaming PC that is small in shape but nothing else, give the Revolt from iBuyPower a look!"

Tt eSPORTS THERON Battle Ready Gaming Mouse
|
|
It`s extremely rare for me to review the same product twice but when a manufacturer improves on a product via several firmware/software updates and component revisions then i think that it`s quite reasonable and even expected to give it another spin. This of course applies for pretty much everything but it is even more valid when we are talking about peripheral devices such as speakers, keyboards and mice mainly because we can`t really record their performance numbers in a chart (unlike for example drive performance). So today we will be taking a closer look at the latest revision of the already excellent Theron battle ready gaming mouse by our friends over at Tt eSPORTS."
