Sony Tablet P Games: Hands-On at CES 2012

January 13, 2012 By Jonas Allen Leave a Comment

As much as CES 2012 has been about TVs and the Cloud, there’s been a remarkably loud gaming presence as well, and not just from the tables and slot machines. Games on Smart TVs. Games on consoles. Games on PCs and Smartphones. And yes, games on tablets. Perhaps the most unique tablet gaming experience this year has been on Sony’s Tablet P, which folds like a Nintendo DS and looks more like an overweight checkbook than a normal tablet. Its size is reminiscent of a fat checkbook too, which makes playing games on the Tablet P reminiscent of …

LG CES 2012 Press Conference and Booth Overview

January 11, 2012 By Jonas Allen 1 Comment

Home to the first press conference of CES 2012, LG Electronics tried to be the pace car for the rest of the day’s (and show's) proceedings. No matter how hard a slew of bad jokes tried to bring them down, LG largely succeeded with enough innovative products to justifiably own your entire home electronics ecosystem. They covered essentially everything from the man cave (nice TVs) to family essentials (smart appliances) to the everyday (smartphones), and I came away impressed each time. LG’s 3D Cinema line of 3D TVs was the most-popular 3D …

Kinect 2 to be Integrated into Next-Gen TVs, Including Sony’s?

November 28, 2011 By Sara Leave a Comment

We've been big proponents of the Xbox Kinect hardware, constantly insisting that the hardware's best days are still ahead, and that the hardware itself is currently under utilized. Microsoft may tend to agree with that sentiment, if the latest reports about Kinect 2 are true. According to The Daily, the Xbox Kinect sensor may very well be integrated with next-generation HDTVs and perhaps 3D TVs, including those from Vizio and Sony. Yes, Sony. As in, "manufacturer of the Xbox-competiting PS3." Integrating the Xbox Kinect into a 3D TV or …

PlayStation 3D Display TV Launches Nov. 13 — The Coolest Thing We Saw at E3

November 11, 2011 By Jonas Allen Leave a Comment

By far the most innovative technology we saw at E3 this year was the 3D Display from Sony, a 3DTV that allows two gamers to play on the same TV screen while seeing completely different images. Sony has insisted that its PlayStation 3D Display is perfect for dorm rooms or small apartments, which is absolutely correct, but having used a Bravia 3DTV for the past year for Blu-ray 3D and 3D game review purposes, I can tell you without question that the 3D Display -- which goes on sale Nov. 13 -- could very well be what it takes to get friends and …

Amazon Kindle Orders are on Fire; Better Pre-Order ASAP

October 26, 2011 By Jonas Allen Leave a Comment

Tablets will be the big-ticket item this holiday season, and perhaps none will be bigger than the Amazon Kindle Fire. In a recent statement about company performance, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said Amazon is building "millions more" Kindle Fires than previously planned based on pre-orders alone. He also indicated that orders for the three new E Ink-based models are double the previous launch. In other words, if you want to nab a Kindle Fire, you'd better pre-order one soon. Here's the direct link to do so: Amazon Kindle Fire, Full Color 7" …

Electric Guitar Messenger Bag Review

October 23, 2011 By Eric Pitt Leave a Comment

Activision killed the Guitar Hero franchise, Rock Band seems like little more than a DLC machine, and Ubisoft's new Rocksmith game sounds awesome if you want to jam on a real guitar, although the jury's still out about whether it actually teaches you anything. All of this is to say that the world of videogame guitars seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. But what of the world of guitar bags themselves? No, not the carrying cases for a real-world axe; I'm talking about the new Electric Guitar Messenger Bags that you can get from ThinkGeek, among …

HTC Trophy Windows Phone Review

August 25, 2011 By Jonas Allen Leave a Comment

Microsoft has this knack of releasing products before their ready, so it’s OK to be skeptical of the latest batch of Windows phones. Sure, they include Xbox Live connections, but that promise comes from the company that launched Xbox Live a bit prematurely in the first place on the original Xbox, right? Or that five years ago at E3 promised mobile connectivity to the XBL community? Funny thing: Microsoft must have learned its lesson, because if the HTC Trophy Windows Phone is any indication of all the other Windows phones out there, Android …

NextGen Rechargable Universal Active 3D Glasses Review

August 24, 2011 By Jonas Allen Leave a Comment

The demand for 3DTVs hasn’t gained steam as quickly as the manufacturers would’ve liked, though recent studies suggest that potential 3DTV buyers are not only prepared to spend more, but plan to buy a 3DTV in the not-too-distant future. One of the barriers to entry has traditionally been the expensive active-shutter glasses used by most sets, a pain point made even more unbearable by most active-shutter glasses being tied to a specific manufacturer. For instance, if you buy a Sony Bravia 3DTV, its glasses won’t work on a Panasonic or …
