2011 was an amazing year for the gaming medium. When I first gathered the roughly 50 titles that I thought would even be worth considering for the of the year, I knew immediately that I’d have a tough road of sorting ahead. This year was brilliant, and I can honestly say that there were so many games that deserved space on this limited list that I had a heck of a time picking and...
This was one of the most difficult lists I’ve ever had to make. You see, the point-and-shoot market is not only vast, but it’s ever expanding and it morphs like a shape shifter.

Recently, we’ve seen the gaming sections of stores stock up on keyboards: some with 50 extra keys, and others intense World of Warcraft graphics on them. But if you really break it down,...
Figure 1 Macworld promises many new items, but what was the one to grab my attention? The month of January is jam packed with industry shows and conventions, CES at the beginning of the month,and Macworld at the end. Honestly, after last year’s less than pathetic Macworld I found myself wondering why I was driving to the Bay Area in extremely dense fog. I didn’t have high hopes, but...
