Samsung 256GB 2.5-inch SSD 830 Series Review

With a read speed of up to 520MB/s and a write speed of 400MB/s, Samsung’s 256GB Solid State Drive 830 Series (desktop) is a perfect desktop hard drive replacement. Weighing in at only 0.14 lbs with a thickness of 7mm it is a 2.5” SSD that is engineered to be compatible with most desktops on the market. The case is made of a brushed metal that blocks dust and corrosion. The entire package includes the SSD, a bracket, SATA cable, power cable and recommended software such as Norton Ghost 15 and SSD Magician 3.0 with user guides. In order to save power the 830 series uses 0.12W power consumption and maintains an operating temperature of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Review: Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony

Review: Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony

A steampunk alternate-history vertical bullet hell shooter. Jamestown is a very interesting concept and a very good indie game that’s worth getting if you ever get the chance. I had received the Humble Indie Bundle 4 from a generous person when it came out, and Jamestown, one of bundles titles, and I had overlooked it right away, though, after later installing it, I found a very good game.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Review

You remember when you first heard about the Wii? You remember all those promo videos that Nintendo released of people doing wildly exaggerated motions with the Wii Remote, and how those motions were perfectly recreated in the completely fake gameplay trailers? You remember how everybody’s imagination ran wild with the possible gameplay applications of the new controller, and how awesome you thought it was going to actually swing the Master Sword in Twilight Princess?

The King of Fighters XIII Review

The King of Fighters XIII Review

The King of Fighters XIII is a game that successfully blends new school aesthetics and style with old school skill-based gameplay.  KoF has got the depth and balance to be ranked in with genre classics like Third Strike or Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and its more than pretty enough to compete with Capcom’s latest, but unfortunately, one major technical shortcoming keeps it from truly being the king of the fighting genre.

Need For Speed: The Run Review – I can has load screen?!

Electronic Arts yearly installment of their Need for Speed Hot Pursuit-esque racing game has finally come out. The game was originally shown off at E3 and it brought me nothing but joy playing it as an action packed driving game and heavy duty policing to add a nice twist to my racing game addiction. However, getting into the game after release was a significantly different story!

The Modern Warfare 3 Campaign Review – It’s Awesome

I sat down and played through the whole Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 campaign (because it looks like three, maybe four other people did as well and I kind of wanted to even the playing field) in five and a half hours. The following are my thoughts on the campaign in its entirety.

PixelJunk Sidescroller Review

PixelJunk Sidescroller Review

No series of games is more synonymous with PSN than Q Games’s PixelJunk series. Spanning across numerous genres, each game in the PixelJunk series is a unique, creative take on an established genre — PixelJunk Racer was a fun (albeit hard) throwback to 2D racers on the NES, Monsters was an excellent tower defense style strategy game, and Eden was an indescribably beautiful take on 2D platforming.  2009′s PixelJunk Shooter was perhaps the most innovative in the series so far, marrying elements of a twin-stick shooter, a Metroid-style adventure game, and a physics based puzzle game into one amazing package.  Now, Q-Games has given us their take on the traditional side-scrolling shooter, and while the result isn’t as fresh or innovative as their previous products, it’s still a solid game in it’s own right.

Nokia N9 Review

The last phone from Nokia to feature the MeeGo operating system was released a while ago and it has taken a while to get into critics and reviewers’ hands but now the whole story is out for you to see. This seems to be the final touch to the scene before Nokia goes off with the Windows Phone OS and it might just sign off with a bang!
