Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #234: Oceanhorn Returns
I liked the first Oceanhorn a lot. If you haven’t played the game, its available on the Nintendo Switch eshop right now. Zelda fans will especially enjoy it. And soon, we’ll be getting another Oceanhorn! Let’s talk about that game a little. The first Oceanhorn was like a mix between Wind Waker and a Link to the Past. The game had an overhead view, but three dimensional. And it was a lot of fun. Very soon we’ll be getting another…
Read MoreCreative Cam Sync HD Webcam Review
With many computers, monitors, and obviously laptops coming with built in webcams today, it's not often that folks every look online for an actual, standalone webcam device. Unless you are streaming - in which case you are probably using an expensive alternative camera - buying a webcam online might be a bit foreign to you. It's not until you get one - or see a review of one, like ours here - that you realize how inadequate your built in webcam really is, and how much better your experience will be with an HD webcam doing 1080p. Did I tell you that this could ...

Thanks to our friends at The LEGO Group, we have been looking and and reviewing a number of fantastic LEGO Super Mario products. You can read our review of the Starter Kit here!

Read MoreCreative BT-W3 Bluetooth Transmitter Review
For all of the technological advancements that are flying towards us at an increasing rate, there are still many gaps in compatibility that are glaring when you end up on the wrong side of them. Bluetooth connectivity is one such gap. Even though more and more headsets and audio devices are Bluetooth enabled, it is wild to think that current-gen consoles do not have native Bluetooth functionality. Enter the Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth transmitter, designed to help turn (almost) any device into a Bluetooth capable one, with your choice of codecs. How does it ...
Read MoreLEGO Super Mario Starter Kit Review
When Nintendo and LEGO partnered up to release some building sets, I was incredibly excited. I had visions of beautifully crafted sets that utilized amazing mini figures.

Then the sets were revealed and demoed and my excitement went from a 10, down to a 4. Now that I've played with the starter kit, have my initial thoughts changed? Let's take a look!
