By kiddtango717, December 27, 2010 0 Playstation, Reviews

There’s no nation like Dead Nation, guns and zombies galore. In this top down twin stick shooter, we pile up the re-animated corpses high then send body parts flying around in this review of Dead Nation.

Astro Gaming 5.8 MixAmp Review

By Remdog, December 21, 2010 2 Playstation, Playstation, Reviews, Tech, Xbox, Xbox

Astro gaming has been bringing hardcore and pro gaming quality Mix Amps for quite sometime. For those who don’t know what a Mix Amp does well your in luck. A Mix Amp channels both game sounds and voice-communication into one headset while it is also the only way to listen to certain headsets via consoles. While we’ve been experiencing this for several years it has never been in a wireless flavor, or at least not a good one. Astro gaming sets to change this with their latest entry of Mix Amps, the 5.8 Mix Amp but does it still deliver the standard of what we get from wired ones? Click the title link for our full review.

Nail’d Review: Almost Nailing it

By Remdog, December 15, 2010 0 Playstation, Reviews, Xbox

It’s hard for any game to try to reinvent the wheel, especially when its seen its fair share of games in that genre. Sometimes though when a game thinks its bringing something new, it is really bringing something old. Nail’d is an arcade ATV/MX racer with an emphasis on big jumps and speed. The game is all about throwing a bunch of stuff at you during the course and how fast you can get to the finish line. Doesn’t seem like a hard thing to master? However what you get is a racer with great track ideas but spotty collision detection and some overall uninspiring execution.
