When Video Game Characters Escape To Reality…
Imagine for a second that you could immerse yourself in a game so much so that it felt like reality. Wait a minute, that's almost possible today, and the faster the technology gets, the better the experience will become. However, there is still some adventuring to be done before we can fully belie ...
Pac-Man: The Official Movie Trailer Is Out
My first thought was, this must be a joke. And to some extent it is, but not completely. The trailer is a real one that is amping up the hype around a new series on American TV this year. Some say it's more of a movie but Merv Griffin Entertainment, the producer of the show, is telling us that it ...
Now There Are Even Edible Angry Birds Cake Toppers
So I finally pushed myself over the edge and tried out the heavily successful Angry Birds game on my iPad. I had tried it out briefly before, but this time, I wanted to really get into the game, and I did. The graphics aren't that impressive, and the game play isn't unique after having played Crus ...
Nintendo NES Guitar: It Doesn’t Get Much More Old School
There have been a ton of customizations during 2010, and it seems the trend is going to continue in 2011. We've seen pretty much everything become an instrument that you can actually use to rock your heart out with. What makes some of these people take their beloved epic '80s gear and mod them int ...
Romba Pac-Man: Vacuuming Suddenly Makes So Much More Sense!
It was a while ago now that we saw the first generation of the robotic or autonomous vacuum cleaner grace the shelves in the stores. At first it was a sort of a miracle and ahead of its time. But today, it seems the super hero power of the Romba vacuum cleaner has faded quite a bit, and everyone i ...
Can’t Get Enough Of Angry Birds? Here’s The Analog Version!
Angry Birds could very well be the world's most downloaded iPhone game app. And, as far as I know, it is. I only say "as far as I know" because I just tried it out a few days ago. I played Crush The Castle previously, and as a matter of fact, it was one of the first apps that I bought on my iPhone ...
Retro Joystick Makes Your iPad That Much Cooler!
Recently Diana wrote about a suction cup iPad controller that plenty of people found quite interesting (I was one of them). But the retro feel of that "button" didn't fully tickle my fancy, so I set out to see if I could find one better. I wanted one that could make my wet retro dreams become realit ...
Become a Crime Scene Investigator on Facebook!
If you are tired of planting trees and vegetables (Farmville), baking (Baking Life) and Interior design (YoVille) on Facebook, then you might enjoy playing a crime scene investigator. The game is called CSI: Crime City! It's based on the popular made for TV series CSI. I love watching that series ...
Urinal Gaming: SEGA Moves Into Uncharted Territory
It's amazing how addicting gaming can become if you're not careful. We've seen it most recently on Facebook where more and more people are investing real money and insane amounts of time updating and taking care of their Facebook games. I don't know how many times I have seen it in the news lately ...
Yoshi From Super Mario Recreated As Insane Mecha Toy!
When I was young, toys were a lot less technology oriented than they are now. Today it seems toys won't be called toys if they can't message people on the other side of the planet, and help you to rule the world in some odd way. What happened to the metal toy cars and the crayon books that could k ...
Pac Man For Christmas: Gingerbread Arcade Game
The spirit of Christmas apparently brings out the coolest creativity in people. Some create bathroom mats out of wine corks and others make a whole Christmas tree out of recycled soda bottles. Wrapping Christmas presents seems to have become a sport as well, and the best wrapping will get the most ...
All In One: Chameleon X-1 Mouse Two Times As A Game Pad!
Gamers have a thing for game pads. When they first appeared a long time ago in a galaxy far far away... hmm... they were simply called controllers. They were a way of controlling the sprite, the object you were playing, on the screen. Back then it was the 8th wonder of the world, but today the te ...
Kinect Hack: Air Guitar Prototype Makes Anyone A Guitar Guru!
With every hack that is revealed for the Kinect, I get more and more excited about the future. I don't understand why it took so long for us to understand the importance of the Kinect technology, and why there aren't more people looking into it (and that's not saying there isn't a lot of people doi ...
What If Games Had Movie Posters…
If you are a gamer of any amplitude, you know that the graphics and experience are everything in a game. Sound, of course, comes with it too, but you wouldn't be mesmerized by a game if it were not for the graphics or the experience. Games like Call of Duty and Gran Turismo are games that totally ...
Fingerist: The Only Real Way To Play Guitar On Your iPhone
I sometimes wish I remembered what the first app was called that was granted access into the App Store. When the iPhone was first released, there were of course not many apps in the store, but that all changed, and quickly I might add. Even though it wasn't the first app, there was an app that made ...
