Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a decent game for the PSP system. The Force Unleashed has great graphics and gameplay, along with okay controls. I would suggest this to anybody, even if you are not into Star Wars or Sci-Fi specifically.
Pro’s: I found the campaign …

The Lg Env2 is a fantastic multimedia phone. One of the features that I have used the most is obviously the full external QWERTY keyboard. It is a little on the smaller side, which sucks if you are a person with smaller hands (it is possible to get used …

Star Wars: Battlefront: Elite Squadron is a worthy title to the Star Wars: Battlefront franchise, even though it is on the PSP and Nintendo DS system. Like all of the Star Wars: Battlefront games, you select your character and then you play on the battlefield that you choose, either …

Apple’s iLife is one of the most intuitive applications I have ever used. It includes all of these applications: iWeb, GarageBand, iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie
Pros: GarageBand is a highly misunderstood app, with many people thinking that it is for musicians only, which is not true at all. I …

Like all the other Halo titles, Halo 3: ODST was severely overhyped and overpriced at $60 for a full retail title; to me, it felt more like an expansion pack rather than a full game.
Pro’s: The game’s story line is very well written. The beginning mission is frustrating …

Ubuntu 9.10 is a great operating system. It provides flexibility and support for users who want to use open source but do not have the “know-how.” The updated interface makes it easy for almost anybody to get started, and oh—no viruses! A great feature of Ubuntu is it makes …

Windows Server 2008 R2 is a fantastic server. I obtained a trial copy and it feels what Windows 7 should have been. When I booted it up for the first time, I noticed a 10% speed increase then when I was running Windows 7. Server does not include …

I installed this on my white Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that was running Tiger. Thankfully, you do not have to buy the box set even if you do not Leopard installed. No huge UI changes have occurred, hence the name “Snow Leopard,” compared to “Leopard.” Mostly I …

I have owned both the Nintendo DS and the PSP, and I can say that the PSP is an excellent gaming machine. It has a large enough “plasma-like” screen that you don’t have squint when looking at. The PSP graphics have almost PS2-equilavent graphics which means very sharp …

I bought Star Wars: Renegade Squadron as my first PSP game, because it was bundled in with the PSP system. It is basically a “mod” of Battlefront 2 for the PSP, except it has nicer controls and better graphics, with added customization/levels. So, what’s new? The campaign is …

I feel that Battlefield: 2142 should not have had a price tag of $50 to it. Overall, it seems like it is a modification of Battlefield 2, with the added “Titan” mode and set in the sci-fi era instead of the present. The base game does not include …

Windows 7 Home Premium is a worthy successor to Windows XP. Windows 7 includes all of the features of Windows XP, but with a cleaner interface and more features. I installed Windows 7 on a Core 2 Duo machine running 4GB of RAM, and the install time took …

The iPod Touch 2nd Generation is one of the best MP3 players I have owned (iPod 5th Gen, iPod Nano 1st Gen). The speaker quality without the headphones on is actually outstanding. It has a crisp and clear sound to it, without any quality diminishing when the volume …

The iMac is one of the best computers I have ever used. It is good for photo editing, video editing, and even gaming. One of my major complaints about Windows was that it had always got viruses (and even shut down our network/DOS attack!). After using the 27inch …

Microsoft Office 2007 is one of the best word-processing applications out there, and I think that if you are using an earlier version of Office it is worth the upgrade. As with all Office variations, it includes PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, and Excel, the core applications. Most people have …

I purchased the original Xbox 360 launch model when it first came out, which was a few years ago. The system was always overheating, noisy, and it had a huge power supply. One day I had been playing Just Cause (a very graphic-intensive game), and it had …

Back in the late 80’s early 90’s the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis were neck and neck in the console war each other. Around this time, I grew up playing with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System instead of the Sega Genesis, but eventually I did get Sonic’s Ultimate …

The Nintendo 64 was a really good console, and one of the good things about it, was that most of the games on the system didn’t require a memory card, but the key word there is most. Unfortunately, there were some games that did in fact require a memory …

The original Nintendo Game Boy Advance was a good system on its own, but it had some serious flaws, the first and foremost being it’s lack of a back light. This truly and utterly crippled the system, it was more acceptable back then with the original Game Boy because …

The Nintendo Game Boy Advance is the successor to the Nintendo Game Boy. (This had 3 variations which were the very original Game Boy, the Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Color) The Game Boy Advance has only two variations though, the Original Game Boy Advance, which I …

The original Nintendo Game Boy and the Game Boy Pocket is essentially the same thing. The only true differences between these two, is that the Game Boy Pocket comes in multiple colors like green, it’s smaller, and it requires less batteries. Also, the screen isn’t quite as green. Other …

The Ipad 64 GB with the 3G network and the Wi-Fi detection is not at all as it seems to be. I thought that I would not have been able to get an Ipad. I thought that there was going to be a huge line up with tents and …

After the original PlayStation came out and people got used to using memory cards, it was common to have about 3 or so memory cards depending on how much of an avid gamer you were. Now, considering this, it’s pretty easy to see that the biggest flaw with the …

Learning from their mistakes with the Nintendo 64 Memory Card, which wasn’t a bad memory card per se, but it had its serious flaws, Nintendo made the memory card for the Game Cube a far superior card that’s more user friendly to use compared to its clumsy predecessor.
Well first …

Now, quite unlike the competition of the previous gaming generation, in other words the Sony PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo Game Cube, Microsoft’s original Xbox did not have a standard memory card, in fact it had a hard drive built into the system where you could even rip songs …

A memory card, put simply, is a memory storage unit. It’s commonly used, and is essential for saving your games. I am not entirely sure, but I think that the PlayStation memory card is the first of its kind. Regardless of it is or not though, you need it …

Back in the mid 90’s when the original PlayStation and the Nintendo 64 were neck and neck in the console wars. The Sega Saturn was there too, but I never owned one and it wasn’t nearly as popular. I’d like to pick one up one of these days, but …

Now, I am a moderately big fan of the Guitar Hero games. As such, you need a good Guitar Hero controller in order to effectively play the games. Since the release of the original Guitar Hero for the PlayStation 2, there have been many different versions of the different …

Sometime in between the releases after the original PlayStation and Nintendo 64, but before the PlayStation 2, Game Cube and Xbox, there was the Sega Dreamcast. This is Sega’s last console and in my opinion, they went out with a bang despite …

The Sega Dreamcast Virtual Memory Unit (or VMU for short) is basically the Sega Dreamcast’s answer to the Sony PlayStation’s memory card; however this is really no normal memory card as there is a lot to this thing than just saving your games.
First off, this doesn’t plug into your …

This has been the first and only mouse I have used since I bought my first laptop almost two years ago. Actually I got it on the same day as my laptop at Fry’s for around 25 bucks. I was attracted to the color, a sort of metallic magenta …

I found it rather refreshing when I first looked at the box for this calculator and saw, not the usual hype and silly branding, but a plain and simple explanation of exactly what it was in the name itself - “Desk Top Calculator” is actually part of that name, …

Because technology is really evolving, now you can have hands-free talking on your phone. I was watching an episode of Ugly Betty one time and saw the receptionist using a wireless headset. Also, in Entourage, Jeremy Piven uses wireless headset. After that, I was really looking for this type …

The PlayStation 2 is easily one of my most favorite game systems of all time. With a solid controller, and a great library of games, I think many will agree that is easily one of the best consoles ever made. It’s even the best selling console of all time. …

The Original PlayStation had 2 versions, the gray version, and the white version, but to be quite honest, other than the white version being smaller and lighter, and a different color, there are absolutely no differences between the two. If you want to get an original PlayStation, unless you’re …

The original NES controller is a controller specifically made for the original Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES for short. This is a rather old controller for an old console, but for the sake of people who want to get into collecting for this console, they should know how good …

This is the best version of the PlayStation 2, hands down, no contest. The fat version breaks too easily, but the Slim is a much better built console, lasts longer, and has the same library of games as the Fat Version. Honestly that alone should be enough for you …

The Sega Genesis controller is a great controller for a great console. This is a review of the original Sega Genesis Controller, not the 6 button version, but honestly except for the fact that the other one has 3 extra buttons; both controllers are pretty much the same anyways.
The …

The Original Type S Xbox controller is a controller that is intended to be used exclusively for the Xbox. There are two different versions of the Original Xbox controller, there’s the first type, the big one, and there’s Type S, the smaller one. I’ve only ever used the …

Out of all the 3 consoles in the last generation, this one is probably my least favorite of the bunch. Despite having a pretty solid controller, the first to pioneer online gaming, nowadays there’s very little reason to pick one of these up. Well honestly since you had to …

Now, despite having one of my most favorite controllers, this is not one of my most favorite consoles. That isn’t to say this is a bad console, but compared to its competition, the PlayStation 2, it pales in comparison. It’s better than the Original Xbox in my opinion, but …

The SNES controller is a controller to be used exclusively with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which is actually one of my most favorite systems growing up as a kid. The console was one I played for many years when I was a kid, even after the newer Nintendo …

The Nunchuk Controller is a controller specifically made for the Nintendo Wii, to be connected specifically to the Nintendo Wii Remote. The Nunchuk Controller is a controller that is actually necessary to be used with very many of the Nintendo Wii’s titles.
The controller is a very small and simple …

There are many different versions of the PlayStation 3. Usually you can tell the difference by knowing how big the hard drive is, and today I want to talk about 60gb version, which is probably the best version of the PlayStation 3. Why is that? Well stick around and …

The Nintendo Wii is the newest console by Nintendo and is one of 3 main consoles available in the current generation of video games alongside the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360. I want to go over how it compares to the other consoles and what games …

I really enjoy tabletop fountains for two reasons. First, I like that I can inexpensively incorporate a water feature into my home, the look and sound of the water is soothing to me. Second, I like the added benefit of the humidity without having to resort to using bulky, …

Despite the preponderance these days of MP3 players, iPods and the like, there are still those among us who sometimes find that the electronic device that fits our needs the best, at least some of the time, is the traditional transistor radio. Philips’ D-2012 model is just that, and …

I have for many years enjoyed making music, but in all honesty my abilities in this area have not always managed to match my aspirations! The one possible exception has been when playing electronic keyboards, which I AM at least acceptably competent at most of the time, and although …

I have been living by myself for slightly over six months. Although I love the apartment complex that I live in, there are times when being a single woman living alone makes me feel unsafe. Because there are so many reports on the news about women like …

I ordered my Amazon Kindle 2 last week and was pleasantly surprised at how light it felt when I pulled it out of the box. I didn’t really know what to expect as this would be my first time using an eBook reader. I plugged it in …
