Even the most hardcore of PC gaming houses gave up on it fifteen years ago because the options are really quite limited despite the literal universe of possibilities. As time has marched on and hardware has allowed for greater, better looking universes, few have sought to actually render them. Again, boring. So it was a breath of fresh air when a few ex-Rare guys (Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie) tasked themselves with a rags-to-riches space adventure. Unfortunately, Starfire Studios bit off a bit more than they could chew and for all its ambitions, Fusion: Genesis just can’t reproduce the simple joy of being a ship in a massive, opportunistic galaxy.

“Stranded” Gears of War Fan Flick – Short Film Review
Rob and N recently caught the Gears of War fan film “Stranded”, produced on a shoestring $1600 budget provided by a Kickstarter campaign. For a film based on a franchise that doesn’t take itself seriously very often, it’s an admirable effort. Both writers submit their reviews after the break!

Electronic Cigarettes – Godsend Or Garbage?
The electronic cigarette, sometimes referred to as a “personal vaporizer” or, more hilariously, a “personal electronic nicotine inhalation system” has been around for quite some time. A few years, in fact.
