nMedia HTPC 8000 Wood Case Review
Thursday, November 05, 2009
Wood is much easier to work with than steel. With a few simple tools, you can create a very solid PC case, and if you use high quality wood then it can look very sophisticated when stained. But many people aren’t interested in modding today, and you can buy just about everything pre-modded… with the exception of the wood case.
nMedia has identified this niche and delivered a Home Theater PC made almost entirely out of wood, and has a classic look similar to many “retro” radio or audio consoles you see on QVC. Not only does this case have a classic look, but it is large enough to handle most PC hardware, and has all the connections and ports you need for a good home theater appliance.

NZXT Gamma Budget Gaming Case Review
Tuesday, November 03, 2009
And now, everyone and their mother are wearing black. It’s a fashion trend now. I still wear it all the time, and rarely wear anything else, but not because half the people on television claim to be dark and mysterious. I simply still don’t give a crap and have a horrible attitude most of the time. But I have a feeling that NZXT targets me sometimes when it comes to their gaming cases. They go flat black (what we called “murdered out”) and they make them look absolutely awesome. Take the case I’m reviewing today for example, the Gamma steel mid tower. It’s sleek, roomy, and has space for six 120mm fans. I tell you, it’s awesome, it’s black, and it doesn’t care what you think.

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Impressions
Saturday, October 31, 2009
Last night I got a nice little surprise. I managed to score a copy of the demo for Left 4 Dead 2. I don’t think I could have been happier if I had found the lost city of Atlantis. Okay, maybe that’s an overstatement, but still, it’s an awesome find. Xbox 360 owners supposedly have to pre-purchase the full game to download the demo, but that may not be so for PC gamers. Since OCModShop has a press account for Steam we were able to download it when it was available, but I'm not sure if it's available for everyone. So I installed and played the content that was available. And I liked what I saw.

Saw: The PC Game: The Review
Thursday, October 29, 2009
I couldn’t think of a better game to review on the eve of Halloween than one based on torture devices and cringe-inducing deaths at the hands of the infamous Jigsaw killer. Zombie Studios and Konami, the marvelous guys behind Silent Hill, have brought the Saw series to life in the third-person survival horror game SAW. I’m kind of glad they didn’t do some ridiculous spin on words for the title. Those three little letters are still enough to send shivers down our spines when we think of all the painful ways that the creators of the Saw franchise have come up with to kill those undeserving of the lives they were given.

Otterbox 2600 Airtight PDA Case Review
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Like most Armor series cases, the 2600 PDA case looks very hardcore at first glance. With the bulk of this thing, you’d think one would be carrying some diamonds or a kidney. There is a heck of a lot of case here, which is most likely due to the fact that the 2600 case is designed to fit 99% of the PDAs on the market.

Mixing action, humor, and heavy metal, Brutal Legend makes a statement as one of the most enjoyable and unique games in recent years.

Rosewill RCM-8163 Web Camera Review
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
So what’s the hype on this webcam? Well, it can take still pictures with a resolution of five mega pixels (when used with the software)… which is definitely better than most of our lame camera phones. Also, for the consumer on the move, this webcam is plug-and-play, which means you don’t have to install any of the drivers unless you want to use some of the more advanced features of the webcam. If you do want to use the drivers, they are available on the included installation disk as well as downloadable from www.rosewill.com.

Obscure: The Aftermath for PSP
Monday, October 12, 2009
In 2008, Hydravision Interactive released the next installment of the game called Obscure II: The Aftermath. Set two years after the events of the first game, Aftermath takes place at a college nearby known as Fallcreek University. Everything seems to be normal here except for a new drug that is becoming increasingly popular, made from crushing and inhaling the fumes from a flower that is appearing all over the campus. While at a party one night, the plant's effects turn deadly, and monsters start appearing everywhere. The students from the original game are now taking medication to fiend any effects from killer plants, and it doesn't seem to affect them when they inhale the fumes.
Other students, however, turn into giant beasts and kill those who don't. The scene outside the house where the party is located is very gruesome, bodies are ripped apart, one girl is even impaled on the sharp spines of the outside gate. The graphics of the game carried very well from the larger console version, no detail was spared.
