The Hunter – Game Update And Supplemental Review

So I’ve been playing this game for a while now and have had a chance to really get a feel for the mechanics and overall gameplay. As I said in my last review I am not, at all, a fan of “hunting games” so when I first got this game and tried it I was pretty skeptical going in to the experience.

Exhaustive Tech Review: Windows Phone + HTC Arrive

This review covers both the Windows Phone operating system as well as the HTC Arrive hardware. Both Kelly and Nick worked on it, so Kelly’s thoughts will appear in RED and Nick’s will appear in standard BLACK.

Intro

It’s been a long time, but we finally got some extended time with Windows Phone hardware. The HTC Arrive is the first phone with Microsoft’s new Windows Phone OS for CDMA carriers, this one for Sprint. This phone was actually unveiled with its GSM siblings on AT&T, T-Mobile, and in Europe at the beginning of October, but we didn’t get to hear much about it until recently. We’ve had a few weeks with the device (none of us owning a Windows Phone yet) and are ready to render a verdict. I’ll be giving the phone a review from the perspective of a current Android (and former webOS) user.

Awww, Gearbox Hooks Couple Up

Posted by on April 27, 2011 at 1:36 pm in Gaming

This was incredibly nice of Borderlands developer Gearbox. Ben and his girlfriend Tora are huge fans and when Ben reached out to Gearbox they made the very cool and funny video above to help Ben out. Want to know what she said? Well watch the video after the jump, ok fine she said YES, I can’t keep surprises.

Ben came up with the idea after finding out that he and his girlfriend both at huge fans and actually the same level. He didn’t mind if Gearbox said no because he still wanted to tell them how much of a fan he is. Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox “was one of the biggest pushers of the idea, saying ‘we really need to do something on this.'” Ben visited Gearbox a few times to work on the video with Adam Fletcher and Chris Faylor.

Movie Review: The Void

Movie Review: The Void

Growing up, dad always turned me onto apocalyptic scenarios: what if the United States were to come under a mutually-assured storm of nuclear weaponry? What if the government collapsed and we had to fend for ourselves with every scrap of Red Dawn-inspired guerrilla warfare we could muster? What if a black hole were to suddenly materialize and rip away our atmosphere? The Void entertains the latter, but let’s be honest, I only queued this up because my man, Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Star Trek: Generations), stars as this largely thrill-less thriller’s villain.
