One of the Most Underrated Portable Gaming Systems: A cheap, used Android phone and a Razer Kishi game controller. For the past few weeks, I’ve been using the combination of a cheap used Android phone (An LG V40 I found on eBay for about $140) and a Razer Kishi mobile game controller which ran me […]
So a few months ago, I decided I wanted a supplement to my desktop that I could travel with and hopefully get some more writing done on. Being a Windows user and a big gadget nerd, I settled on two principal options before deciding on Microsoft’s entry-level Surface Pro 4. So, why did I buy […]
If you grew up in the nineties, like I did, you might remember the whole “virtual pet” fad that swept the nation, sparked by the “Tamagotchi”, a Japanese brand of virtual pet that was arguably the best and likely the most popular of them all. Everyone wanted one. I got a red and black one […]
Seeing as I’m a gamer and carry my iPhone with me everywhere I go, I play a lot of games on it. Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy is a modern flight sim-lite title available on the App Store for $5 that I’ve been playing for a while now and I’ve quite enjoyed it. If I were […]
*Sigh* I’ve been putting this off for a long, long time but I guess eventually, something has to give. It always does. I guess I was just in denial. I didn’t want to admit to myself or anyone else that I…I…I can’t even bring myself to type it. But, assuming you can see the title […]
$7 giant killers? Never thought I’d see the day when a pair of earphones selling for less than $10 would be able to compete with earphones in the $50 – $100 range but the Monoprice MEP- 933 does. After reading about them on Head-Fi, I was overcome by curiosity, as I often am, and […]
First off, I’d like to thank the folks at Headphones.com. A couple of weeks ago, I spotted a contest on Head-Fi for a pair of Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3 asking entrants to creatively describe the best headphones they’ve heard at the $150 price point or under. Seeing as the HiFiMan RE-262s are the best sounding […]
Yeah, I got one. After HP announced that they were effectively killing off WebOS by all but ceasing development of the platform and halting production of the not even two month old Touchpad, they sparked a veritable firestorm of consumer interest by slashing the price of the then $399 and $499 Touchpad to a mere […]
Dislcaimer: This is important. All impressions I have on the G-Tablet are impressions of the tablet AFTER flashing a custom ROM onto it (in my case, Cyanogenmod 7). Consider this a warning to everyone who is familiar with the stock Tap n’ Crap…I’m sorry…Tap N’ Tap OS that ships with the G-Tablet. If you’re using […]
I can’t believe I’m playing this. After nearly six years of development, Gran Turismo 5 is finally spinning inside my PS3. To be honest, the cynic in me never thought I’d see this day. With each passing year, it seemed like Gran Turismo 5 was less and less likely to ever see the light of […]
During Apple’s annual media briefing yesterday, Steve Jobs proudly proclaimed that Apple has produced their strongest lineup of iPods in their storied history before, during and after showing off the fruits of their engineering labor in the form of the newly updated iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano and iPod Touch. While I haven’t had the chance […]

Continuing from the first half of my Halo: Reach beta impressions, I am going to run down the various game modes that were included in the beta as well as give my thoughts on the new maps showcased in the various modes. So, without further delay, check out the rest of my Halo: Reach beta […]
Introduction The Halo: Reach beta has come and gone and now exists in the memory of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Halo fans worldwide. I, of course, played quite a bit of the beta and now I’m here to give you my impressions of what I experienced in my time with the game. […]
From the moment the KFC Double Down was announced, I decried it as a monument to American gluttony and obesity. When I saw pictures of it, I couldn’t believe it was real. I couldn’t fathom how KFC could come up with the concept of a “sandwich” made out of two pieces of chicken instead of […]
About a month ago, I bought the Kanen KM 92 IEMs for about $6 with free shipping out of sheer curiosity. When I placed my order, I was quite wary of them, half expecting to want to throw them out the instant I placed them in my ears and started listening to music. Surprisingly, when […]
For a long time, I’ve been a fan of the Splinter Cell franchise. I remember opening a copy of Xbox Magazine and playing the exclusive demo for the original Splinter Cell on my Xbox and immediately hating it because I couldn’t run around, guns -a-blazing, like I originally thought. Then, slowly but surely, after many […]
Let me start by saying hello world, I’m Skittles McGee. I noticed Game mention he’s the only one who contributes to the site and I was like “‘ey man. Lemme help you with that”. So, for my first contribution, lets talk Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy XIII is the latest entry in the main series, […]
Headphone amps are pretty much standard equipment in the setups of audiophiles everywhere. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of research on headphone amps and come across a number of different amps in all shapes and sizes but the one type of amp that piqued my interest was the “CMoy” amp. […]
Since I got my RE0s and I started going to Head-Fi, I’ve been…experimenting with a number of different headphones/earphones and listening to the various sound signatures these devices create. In the short time since I received my RE0s, I’ve heard (of course) the RE0s the V-Moda Vibes, MEElectronics M9Ps, Koss KSC75s (with some light modifications) […]
Early last week as I was browsing the forums at Head-Fi, I was alerted to a discount special by MEElectronics, a small California-based manufacturer of various gadgets such as DAPs and IEMs. Having read a few reviews on their more popular IEMs, the $40 M6 and the M9, which apparently uses the same dynamic driver […]
Over the last week or so of listening to the RE0s with a wide variety of music, I’ve grown accustomed to its unique sound signature because they are so unlike all of the various headphones/earbuds/IEMs I’ve listened to so far. Everything I’ve listened to prior to the RE0s has colored the music I’ve listened to […]
Earlier today, I received my Head-Direct RE0 In Ear Monitors (IEM) which I ordered early last week to replace my aging V-Moda Bass-Freq earbuds which decided to call it quits shortly before then. So, I recorded a short “unboxing” video which I’ve uploaded to YouTube and will be shared below. [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=B43PlCcOhZ4] After my Bass-Freq earbuds […]
Two days ago, I picked up Race Pro, a game I’ve been highly anticipating since its announcement in the form of an Xbox 360 version of the PC racing sim, GTR 2. This title hails from Simbin, a developer that has been heralded as one of the best in the business of creating racing simulators. […]
