Tachyon OPS HD Camera Review (Tech)
One of the coolest videos I saw when first researching the sport of Airsoft was taken from an M4 Carbine AEG’s front rail system. Looking into this further, the company behind the gun camera was Tachyon Inc. Tachyon makes durable cameras for not only action sports but, also, real-world military and law enforcement applications. The Tachyon Ops HD shoots 1280×720 video @ 30fps, using a 125 degree field of view. This makes it a more natural image without creating a fisheye effect. Additionally, the camera is capable of timelapse photography. In this mode, the camera will take one photo every 2 seconds. Unlike…
Sly Profit Full Camo Goggle System Review (Airsoft)
Looking like something that a nanosuit operator would wear in Crytek’s Crysis 3, the Valken Sly Profit Goggle System is an exceptional piece of head protection for use in both Airsoft and Paintball games. The goggle system features a dual-pane thermal lens system which is very difficult to get to fog up – due in part to the mask’s ventilation system. The Sly Profit Goggle System is also the most comfortable Airsoft mask I have ever worn. The inside of the mask is lined with velvety padding, which gently caresses your face like a small, mil-spec angel baby wrapped in…

DE UMP M89 Laser Scope Airsoft Gun Review (Airsplat)
The folks over at Airsplat have reviewed the Double Eagle UMP M89 Laser Scope Airsoft Gun. The gun retails for $154 dollars and looks to be a decent entry-level AEG for players looking to graduate from the plastic variety to full-metal. From the review: The gun is a good buy, with the full metal internals and decent performance. Keep in mind that the FPS on the gun is still higher than most CQB arenas may allow. So you may have to down grade the gun, to get to the proper FPS for some fields. Checkout their full review for more information.
Dead Island: Riptide Review (PC)
It’s seldom that a game review causes me trouble. I play ALL kinds of games so I can be called on at a moment’s notice give a review from the standpoint of an everyman. I’m not bragging, I am simply admitting that I am a video game addict and have used my addiction to the benefit of others. So, as Dead Island: Riptide was coming in I tried not to pay too much attention to opinions one way or the other, just looking forward to giving it a go. Then, like a real riptide, I couldn’t help but get dragged…
