I had to quit Kickstarter at the end of Oct. 2014 after backing quite a few projects and not really reaping the fruits of my donations. Two and a half years later, I’m still waiting for quite a few games that I backed. In that time, the Wii U has gone out of style, so no doubt, a number of these games will have to change their platform. Others still have yet to provide a single...
One of the staples of the Fast and the Furious movies has been Toretto’s (Vin Diesel’s character) love for muscle cars. So it makes sense that The Fate of the Furious would partner up with Dodge to create a special edition of its beastly Challenger called the Dodge Demon. The car was supposed to be a part of a 12-part promotional campaign that would slowly reveal details of the car, but...
Last year was supposed to be the year that DC Comics made a splash and instituted its movie universe. Both of those did occur, but not in the way people were expecting. Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad were both flashy, financial hits, but they were marred by negative reviews and disappointed fans. Naturally, Warner Bros. and DC have turned to Wonder Woman, the movie that’s expected...
Last year, our pick for the best smartphone of 2016 was a no-brainer. Sadly, Samsung’s Galaxy was a ticking time bomb—possibly due to ill-fitting batteries—so we went with the runner-up: Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL. The Pixel was a surprise in many ways. In spite of its average design and fairly boring features, it won us over with its excellent camera and emphasis on simplicity. You’d...
Samsung’s introduction of the Galaxy S8 is probably about a month out from now. While it hasn’t been confirmed just yet, we expect Samsung to unveil the Galaxy S8 during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Rumor has it the phone will hit the market about a month later in April, instead of on the same day as was the case with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge last year. There are plenty...
When the Apple Pencil was introduced in 2015, it immediately became the butt of jokes. Apple, the same company so vehemently against the very idea of a stylus, suddenly had one to call its own. While the Pencil is incredibly intuitive to use, it lacks a few important features. Namely, there’s no way to attach it to the iPad Pro, an oversight seemingly so obvious it’s a wonder it wasn’t...
When the AirPods were announced, they were received with lukewarm anticipation. Apple’s Bluetooth earphones looked like a Bluetooth version of its EarPods and were outrageously priced compared to some other alternatives. This was back in September; fast-forward to their release just before now and they’re selling like hot cakes. AirPods are nearly impossible to find right now, with new...
Borderlands seems like a nice fit for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo wants to keep reaching out for big third-party franchises, and the series is one of the best for multiplayer. Being able to play with your friends in the same room is a major plus, something that the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC might struggle doing! Gearbox thought it was a nice fit, too, and was in discussions...
Nintendo is holding a super-secret Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct presentation tomorrow, but some nosey fans out there already think they have found the reason for it. The eagle-eyed gamers over at NeoGAF found an interesting source code on Nintendo’s official website site which reads “Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation for Nintendo Switch.” The port makes sense. Fire Emblem Fates was a huge...
Pop culture’s obsession with zombies may have subsided with The Walking Dead’s awful cliffhanger last season, but Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet looks fresh enough to reignite the genre. Rather than create a hyper-realistic portrayal of how humanity would handle a zombie apocalypse, the new series explores what happens when a suburban mom is zombified—yet somehow remains herself. The...
