Third party component cables save you $$$

For those of you left in the cold by Nintendo’s lack of component cables, there’s an answer today from React. Well, there will be an answer once Best Buy gets these $24.99 Wii component cables in stock. And, the best part?

The future of gaming is a Gears of War 8/10 rating

The collective piling on (one could use much more graphic, vulgar terminology) that the review community has done with Gears of War has gotten my cynical side thinking again, and by that I mean more than the usual 24 hours a day. But instead of attacking GoW, I am going to use its popularity to show how the Wii is arriving at precisely the right time. First off, GoW is a great game. It is an actio...

The End of Baby Tickling?

For as long as i can remember, the universal sign of a video game, or the act of playing one, has been what i like to call “baby tickling”.

I obviously call it that because it makes the person look like (a fool, as well as) they’re tickling a baby to death. This is something i have always ...
