Friday, April 19th, 2013Gemini Duo 9.7 Android Jelly Bean Tablet Reviewed
Tuesday, April 16th, 2013I took a look at the Gemini Duo 9.7, a feature-packaged, Android Jellybean powered, multi-coloured yet highly affordable tablet from Gemini Devices. With Quad Core graphics, a Dual Core CPU, 1GB DDR memory and 16GB of storage plus an SD card for expansion its vital statistics are promising. These are backed up with a plethora [...]
Be.Ez LA Allure iPhone 4S Case Review
Sunday, April 14th, 2013My first thoughts on taking the LA Allure case out of it’s packaging was that it looked very pretty but was too light to give any protection to the iPhone. Thankfully, I was wrong. Despite being slim and feather light (14g), the hard casing still gives your device full protection on the back and around [...]
Auna Mini19B Wireless Speakers Reviewed
Tuesday, March 26th, 2013Perhaps it’s some mystifying force attached to my love of music, or simply just fortune, or misfortune, but I tend to end up reviewing an awful lot of speakers. I wouldn’t be so bitter about this if I weren’t buried in them and quietly sobbing to myself about my broken and dilapidated (although still awesome [...]
Alienware X51 Samsung 840 Pro SSD Upgrade
Monday, March 4th, 2013The Alienware X51 is a fantastic, compact gaming rig which I gushed about in my review. I also mentioned plans to upgrade it with a much-needed SSD.

Monday, February 4th, 2013It’s been a good 5 years, if not more, since I purchased a gaming PC. Preferring instead consoles, or whatever Mac gaming I can cobble together. I have spent a great many of these years toying with the idea of buying or building a gaming PC, but it wasn’t until catching wind of the Alienware [...]

Waterfield Designs PS Vita Case
Wednesday, April 18th, 2012Waterfield Designs have crafted no less than three PS Vita cases; the deceptively simply named PS Vita Case, the svelte Suede Jacket and the pocket packed Gear Pouch Pro. By far my favourite is the humble-sounding PS Vita Case. Don’t be fooled by its unceremonious title, however, this is a premium case that looks good [...]
From Snega2USB To Retrode 2: A Comprehensive History
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012Playing vintage games, such as those from the steeped-in-nostalgia Master System, Megadrive, NES and SNES days, has always been somewhat of a legal minefield. ROM downloads, as abandoned as those old games may seem, are frowned upon both by the companies who once sold those games, and the enthusiast communities who still enjoy playing them. [...]
