I gotta give it to the Japanese, they sure do know how to start the day right.  Just look at Gun o' Clock.  If you're waking up to a very annoying alarm clock every day, hey, shoot it.  Seriously... shoot it! LOL! This is a special alarm clock that can only be silenced using a "play gun".  So if you want to wake up as Indiana Jones or something from the Bad Boys... you need this clock dude.  Works in 2 modes.  The first one is the alarm mode where this clock will taunt you to a shootout at precisely the alarm time you've set it at.  The second one is the time-attack mode where ...

  For a month, this was what's bringing me back to the desk before I actually do the long zzzzz.  Sniper Elite offers a lengthy single-player game full of nerve-wrecking episodes but still with the oh soooo cool rewarding moments. Gameplay on my first five tries were difficult, but after I got the controls bagged it became easy to do things, the winning moves, the carnage! :)  It will take around 30-minutes to get used to the controls and starting at the rookie level is a must for a lengthier practice kill.  What I just didn't like was how the mouse was so quick (sometimes too quick) for comfort. Graphics was awesome, detailed but not too distracting, focused yet ...

It was widely reported yesterday that the popularity of computer games are being blamed for a drop in the reading skills of primary school pupils, according to a new report. The Reading Literacy Study studies 45 countries in a variety of ways in order to come to some sort of understanding of the level of reading skills across the spectrum. England has moved down from 3rd in 2001 to 19th in 2006 – something which has shocked many, but not others, who feel that the education system in Britain is currently suffering – which is why there has been all manner of suggestions including keeping children in school until they are eighteen (for those who don’t know, you can ...

With the kinds of games that are coming out to the market and into the shelves of retailers, Most which are graphics intensive and need a tons of resources if it's to be ported to the PC, but what consoles lack is what PC games excel in, and that's playability and the replay value.

Now this is a cool toy to play with introducing the Wii Light Sword, so is it a lightsaber, kinda or a Wii-saber nah. It's the Wii Light Sword and you don't need to be a Jedi to wield, all you need is a Wii console (of course) and the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to be able to "really" enjoy the duel mode and the actual game itself. Now what do you get when you cram in 22 ultra bright LED's inside a plastic casing? You get a very cool controller and kick-ass gaming experience. This baby is powered by three AA batteries and sells for $30 each. Time to ...

There's been rumors flying around, that Bungie makers of the Game Halo, is leaving Microsoft and is going to set out, to stake a claim in the gaming world to become independent company. An issued press release from Microsoft states that Bungie is about to to "embark on a path to become an independent company." Bungie, a company owned by Microsoft has been making loads of money and with the recent success of Halo 3, in my opinion they're well-equipped to be independent, Good for us gamers, we should expect the same kind of commitment and focus on the Xbox Platform and as well as opening up to other gaming platforms too. As Harold Ryan, studio head for Bungie said, ...

There's no denying it -- the internet age is slowly breeding a race of overweight humans. Surfing the internet or playing videogames over the net are very sedentary activities that only promote bad health and rising weights among people of all ages. I can attest to this, I'm a writer/editor who has been creating online content and blogging professionally for the past three years and I have seen my weight balloon to such a degree that I don't see my Brad Pitt-like looks anymore (that's the red wine talking). It's a good thing that there are companies that are trying to address this problem from the frontlines of the war -- the devices themselves. Kaiser ...
