Personally, I am sick and tired of the United States government meddling more and more in our lives. The movie and music industry is using our elected officials like puppets (muppets) and we are sitting idly by and letting it happen. Well, I signed the petition, and my voice will be heard next election. G.R.I.P. – Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians. If we really want to make changes, we have to get those that pander to big business out of office and let them know that we have the power to do it. After all, they are there to represent Read More…
For all of the guitar players out there who share my frustration with current guitar games, Ubisoft is promising to help us out. Anyone who plays guitar, for obvious reasons, seems to struggle a bit with Rock Band and/or Guitar Hero. The problem being, one of the biggest parts of actually playing guitar is the feel of the guitar. Holding a little piece of plastic and tapping away mercilessly at buttons can get a little boring.
It’s finally here; Michael Jackson: The Experience has been released for the Xbox 360’s Kinect, and it does not disappoint. Grab your fedora and your sequined glove, and get ready as we bring you a first glance at this title.
The folks at EA seem to be milking the Need for Speed series for all it's worth lately. Shift 2: Unleashed is touted as the most realistic racing simulation to date. This title absolutely lives up to that hype, but not without it's quirks. Gentlemen, start your engines...
I can't help it, there are just some things I can't get enough of. One of those things is Angry Birds! If you are an Android, iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch user and you have the Angry Birds application installed, and you are wondering how to get all the golden eggs... Look no further. I, for one, cannot consider something completed until I have all the secrets revealed. In the previous article (Angry Birds Golden Egg Walkthrough) we covered eggs 1-15... and so here are 16 and 17!

In my younger days, cough cough.. !NURSE!!, cough cough, I would game like there was no tomorrow. There was no Microsoft Office, there was no Quickbooks, Open Office, or LANDesk. There was Unreal Tournament, NFS, Quake, Battlefield, C.O.D. (not this website). My desk was a war zone, my office was a LAN party, and my friends were my comrades fighting battles on my self hosted gaming server. Read More...

There is a new category of computer user out there that I am discovering. I have been well aware of the uber geek that accepts nothing more than maxing out their credit cards on the top of the line peripherals and equipment, and I have been versed in the practices of the novice as well. New to me is what has been defined as "the normal person." Until recently, I haven't been lucky enough to meet many of these, but today I have... and they wanted a set of speakers for their computer that wouldn't break the bank but didn't sound like they were listening to music through a jar of peanut butter either. So, you are normal... or you know someone who is and they need speakers for their computer. What do you get? Eagle thinks they have the answer. Read More...
If you've paid any attention whatsoever to the PC industry, you will recognize the name Logitech®. Long synonymous with quality PC products, Logitech has stepped up the push to broaden its' appeal. You can find Logitech products integrated into just about every facet of personal and business computing today. Keyboards, mice, speakers, headphones, etc. are all encompassed by the retail line manufactured at Logitech. Our time today will be spent taking an enhanced gander at the ultimate gamer's advantage, the headset/mic combo known hereafter as the Precision PC Gaming Headset or PGH for short.
One item I need to mention is the marketing of the headset is, obviously, geared towards the gamer hence the name of the headset. However, those who delight in the audio splendor that is Moby or prefer watching SAW on their PC to spongebob on the telly need not feel neglected. Anyone seeking to enjoy a little solitude from the buzz of the homestead can benefit from these little gems. Gee, does that mean I can have my cake and eat it too? Yes, Jimmy, it sure does. Before we get into that though, let's take a look at the nuts and bolts, shall we? Here are the specs straight from the horses' a.., I mean mouth.
According to X3D Technologies the X3D System "unlocks the potential to add true, life-like 3-Dimentional experiences on your CRT PC screen." When I read that statement, I had to experience this for myself. I have always enjoyed playing PC games and with the ever-increasing sophistication of video cards, software, and AI; the games are becoming eerily realistic. What better way to increase my pleasure than to add the extraordinary effect of true 3D to my favorite games.
I am sure most of us have, at least tangentially, been aware of various vendors promising to enhance our viewing pleasure by the addition of a 3rd dimension to our gaming, movies, and images. We have undoubtedly also heard the horror stories of how the product failed miserably or caused unbearable headaches after only a few minutes of use. Those factors were the cause of apprehension and excitement for me when I decided to test the X3D System. I wanted to see if the ability to transform our mundane world into one bursting with life was feasible without forcing us to break out the aspirin. Read More...
First I would like to thank PCToyland for providing this unit to us for review/testing. Without the generous support of retailers like PCToyland, it would be exceedingly hard for review sites like COD to provide you with the quality articles you read today.
I have been a gamer for a long time and I've played on everything from a Commodore 64 to an Xbox. If I have learned one thing it is this, the keyboard is not the ultimate gaming accessory. Why do you think we use a game controller with the console systems instead of the keyboard? It's easier to use. I will be the first to admit that, having played for so long with a keyboard, I have become accustomed to its layout and function. I now have trouble adjusting to using the controllers on console systems like PS2. Along comes the Nostromo Speedpad n52, the big brother to the n50. As you can see, the most noticeable difference is the extra row of keys on the n52. Read More...
