Review: Anker USB Battery

After seeing this kickstarter, I knew I had to find something similar for my trip to PAX East. With the expectation that I'd be in lines or waiting for 6 hours or so a day, I knew my DS, iPod and cell phone batteries weren't going to hold up. Enter the Anker Astro 3E 10000mAh battery pack.

Review: Crusader Kings II

Crusader Kings II is a title I initially overlooked.  A game based on the same engine as Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron, I expected Paradox to deliver another version of the same wrapper, leading to the same stalemate with 2-3 large nations.  It didn't help that I played both until I was so sick of them I couldn't stand to even look at a map.  I admit it, I was wrong to overlook this one.

Review: The Secret World

 The Secret World is a game that's hard to define in a handful of words.  The closest I can come up with is "modern urban fantasy horror MMO", and say it's something refreshing to play after years of grinding in fantasy MMOs.

Shazbot!

I started playing multiplayer games more frequently after 2002, when I moved away from dial-up, and in many ways, I missed the Tribes series because of it.  Luckily, Tribes: Ascend has come out recently, and is showing me just how different a shooter can be.
