We’ve all been there: sitting in a hotel with an iPod or smartphone on its last leg, but without the laptop needed to charge the dying battery. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve personally been forced to power-down an iPod until I could get back to the juice-providing safety of a USB port. […]

Nintendo loves to keep the mini game collections coming don’t they? I mean, they sell like hotcakes and help keep non-hardcore gamers playing their Wii systems, so why not? Similar to Wii Play, Wii Play Motion is a title that comes bundled with a brand new Wii Remote and a disc containing twelve

I’d been skeptical about Pixar’s Cars 2 movie since the first trailer hinted that it may be little more than a James Bond spoof. Knowing Pixar, I figured that wouldn’t actually be the case, but it was the first time I felt cautious about a film from the storied studio. I was also skeptical about

I would like to think of myself as a hardcore gamer, but more importantly an open-minded gamer. I don’t stick to one genre and turn my back to others without giving them a chance. You would be surprised on how many great titles you could have played if you pass a game just based on

Cirque du Soleil’s stage performances have always relied heavily on themes, but never has a Cirque Du Soleil message been so overt as in the new Cirque du Soleil: Journey of Man Blu-ray 3D. Part of the allure of this recent 3D Blu-ray release is that the performances take place not on stage but in

Having seen a space shuttle liftoff in person and living near Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, I’m a bit of an airplane and flying fan. Not the hardcore “know every model number and its specs” kind of buff, but someone who enjoys a nice behind-the-scenes or in-the-cockpit view from time to time. That’s what I

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has become more of a holiday than a retail magazine release. So what could Sports Illustrated possibly do to increase its impact? Create a 3D Blu-ray documentary, of course. I’ll admit some trepidation upon hearing that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2011: The 3D Experience was coming to Blu-ray 3D. I figured

Rally is a sport that fascinates me, purely out of the danger aspect not only for the drivers and their navigators, but also for the fans. How many other spectator sports can you stand a couple of feet away from the action involving 500+ horsepower as the vehicles careen around dusty potholes corners and slide
