What Ever Happened to the PS Vita?

July 02, 2014 /
It seems a weird question to ask of any Playstation device, but here we are. Sony’s latest portable console is now well into its third year, and for years prior Playstation fans begged for what was then known as NGP (next-gen portable). The PSP before it sold tremendously (80 million units worldwide as of last November) and was home to some of the best titles ever to hit gamers’ pockets. When Nintendo made the first move on the latest generation of handheld consoles by releasing the 3DS, serious gamers ...

Android L @ Google I/O – The Future of Mobile?

June 25, 2014 /
There’s no doubt about it: Android is insanely popular. Even if you fall into the Apple, Microsoft, or Blackberry camp, 1 billion active users is an incredibly respectable number. That’s almost a seventh of the earth’s population, assuming roughly one device per person. That’s crazy. Few products ever achieve such penetration. So you know that when Google takes to the stage each year to talk about the future of their mobile operating system, a lot of people pay attention (apparently even women, who ...

Top 3 Antivirus Applications for Windows

June 18, 2014 /
Somehow I was under the impression that virus scanners for Windows aren’t really the issue they used to be. It’s been years since I personally was infected, and generally the same is true for those I’m acquainted with. But recently I was reminded that a significant portion of PC users still don’t know how to surf the web safely, and for such people it’s just as easy to fall prey to scams and viruses today as it was five or ten years ago. Normally I address a relatively computer savvy demographic ...

Show Floor @ E3 2014 – Favorite 3 Games Not on Stage

June 13, 2014 /
When most people think of E3, they think of high-budget stage presentations put on by only a select few high-profile videogame and videogame hardware developers. While these are certainly very exciting and exhilarating events, there’s a lot more to E3 than just what happens on stage. In fact, some years the best games at the show also have the least amount of presence. So here’s a few of the best things at E3 2014 you didn’t see in a press conference. Virtual Reality Though not a game in itself, ...

Ubisoft @ E3 2014 – Stage Show Impressions

June 09, 2014 /
I’ve said before that in recent generations each new Ubisoft game is broken somehow. The same could be said for their E3 press conferences. Granted, Ubisoft has their fans. I am admittedly not one of them. So take my word about Ubisoft for what it is–an outsider looking in once a year, hoping that Ubisoft will succeed to draw me in, pretty much universally being disappointed every time. Last year left me with an overall better impression than usual; this year was a slight step down, but not a complete ...

Microsoft @ E3 2014 – Stage Show Impressions

June 09, 2014 /
Earlier today Microsoft took the stage to open E3 2014 with a bang. As promised, their focus was “games, games, games.” Some were not exclusively Xbox properties, but the dominant theme of the show was definitely (re)building the Xbox brand. Just take a look at the list of titles Microsoft put on display, and you’ll see what I mean: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Forza Horizon 2 Evolve Assassin’s Creed: Unity Dragon Age: Inquisition Sunset Overdrive Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper ...
