KillZone Beta 2 Impressions by Haydn on 2008/11/18 0:34:04 (237) |
 KillZone 2 is one of Sony's AAA titles for the PS3. It has been in development for quite some time and is planned for release early next year. They released a closed or private beta which means it is by invitation only. You can either be given one or win one in some sort of contest. Guerrilla Games (the developer) claims to have put as much work into the multiplayer of the game as they put into the single player. Has their hard work paid off or will it all be for nothing? |

Nokia introduces cheaper E71 in the form of the E63 by Devin on 2008/11/18 0:19:44 (187) |
 What happens when you take the ultra successful Nokia E71 and offer it at a lower price level? You get the newly released E63 of course! The E63 joins the 5800 XpressMusic in being capable devices offered at a reasonably low MSRP. Could it be that Nokia is starting a trend here: high on features, low price? I certainly hope so. Just like the E71, the E63 sports the S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. At the low 199 EUROS you do give up on some of the features. |

XaraXtreme® 4: Quick draw and big bang for your buck by Jeff on 2008/11/14 18:47:20 (93) |
|  I was asked to design a logo for a friend's website. Being a photographer and somewhat of an expert with high end photo editing software, that's the software I usually use for drawing. This time, I decided I wanted to use actual illustration software. Drawings made with illustration software can be made giant or tiny with zero loss of detail and extraordinarily small files. I was not going to pay 400+ dollars for new software. I searched the Internet for a cheap solution. I found a gold mine for a pittance.
XaraXtreme 4 from Xara is an illustrator's dream. This application is beyond amazing! I got it to use, not review. After using it for just a short time, I knew I had to tell the world what they may be missing. For less than a hundred bucks you get virtually everything you get with the other guy's really expensive stuff. I was up and running in minutes. XaraXtreme 4 comes with a bunch of short instruction videos which actually address what you want to know. This software not only lends itself to amateurs with its ease of use, it is used by professionals who need the most sophisticated features. You can use it to impress friends and family. Create drawings, collages, newsletters, web sites, and even edit photos and make panoramas, all with professional results.

Samsung Pixon: another 8 Megapixel shooter by Devin on 2008/10/30 20:09:03 (271) |
 Samsung’s highly impressive Symbian-based INNOV8 smartphone is arguably the most advanced do-it-all device currently on the market, but the plethora of smartphone features fused with multimedia features might be too much for some. For those snap happy users that want a simpler option, Samsung created the aptly named M8800 Pixon, a touch imaging device sans the advanced smartphone features. |

Altec Lansing®: Big Bass at the Base by Jeff on 2008/10/30 20:08:19 (211) |
 I love great bass. I hate having a subwoofer under my desk collecting dust and getting in the way of my feet. What's up with that? Here comes the Altec Lansing® expressionistTM BASS to the rescue! Altec Lansing has long been know for quality sound, and this new speaker system continues the reputation. These speakers deliver clear strong bass by way of built in subwoofers using 4” long throw drivers facing down at the bottom of each speaker. The mids and highs are handled by a 1.5” driver at the top. I attached them to my MP3 player and was blown away by the crisp full sound these babies deliver. My music sounds great, from Arlo to Jerry. Now if I could only find that black light.... These are the best self contained speaker system I have heard at this price level. They have an auxiliary jack for attaching an additional audio device. The volume is loud enough to drive my dogs out of my office and prevent me from thinking. |

Altec Lansing® orbitMP3. Big sound from a little package! by Jeff on 2008/10/30 20:06:16 (157) |
 Over the years I have tried many small portable speakers to listen to my mp3 players without having to always wear headphones. I wanted to be able to share the tunes. I was never able to get the sound that my music deserved. Then came the ubiquitous docking station. Some docking stations have great sound, but are a bit too big to take around with you. Enter the Altec Lansing orbit MP3.

R4 DS for the Nintendo DS by Haydn on 2008/10/9 19:49:42 (589) |
 The R4 (or Revolution 4 DS) is an cartridge for the Nintendo DS that allows you to play music, view pictures, and most importantly, play games. It runs on eBay for about the price of any DS a game, $30 - $40. The creators of it are currently in a lawsuit with Nintendo because their device can be used for piracy.
Should you "run the risk" of owning this device or should you "play by all the rules"? |
