GamingShogunCAA Roni Pistol-Carbine Conversion for P226 Series Review (Airsoft)
CAA Airsoft sent us over one of their new CAA RONI Pistol-Carbine Conversion Kits for P226 series Airsoft handguns. These pistol-carbine conversion kits are making their way into all sorts of real steel applications these days. Naturally, the Airsoft world follows suit and creates equivalents for us BB-shooters out there. This new RONI Pistol-Carbine Conversion Kit promises to give pistoleers the increased accuracy and stability of a carbine without sacrificing the maneuverability of a pistol. The CAA RONI Pistol-Carbine Conversion Kit features a sweet, fold-out fore grip, QD sling points, multi-position stock with cheek riser, dual flip-up sights, extra magazine…
ROCCAT HIRO 3D Supremacy Surface Review
ROCCAT’s new HIRO 3D Supremacy Surface is a new mouse pad that brings a lot of style and attitude to bear. On the package is a disclaimer that the mouse pad is designed for mice up to 16800 dpi… This, despite the fact that even ROCCAT’s highest-end gaming mouse only goes up to 8200 dpi, is more of an advertisement which is meant to stress the product’s quality. ROCCAT has clearly put a lot of quality into this mouse pad, with a full silicone backside that prevents slipping to a nicely-textured mousing area with no-fray edges. At a spacious 13.8×9.8-inches…
Nuu MiniKey for iPhone 5 Review (Tech)
Nuu has made a lot of people happy with their MiniKey bluetooth keyboard cases for Apple’s iPhone line of smartphones. The people I write of are those who simply cannot get onboard with the virtual keyboard found on touchscreen devices. I know several people like this – my own mother being one. Personally, I don’t have a preference either way – I will use whatever is available. I got a chance to use their MiniKey case for iPhone 5 for a while and have found it to be a nice device that I could live without. I’ll expound… The MiniKey…
FAVI HDTV SmartStick Review (Tech)
FAVI has released a very cool little product that promises to make getting a “Smart TV” experience simple and easy with its SmartStick. The SmartStick is a small dongle measuring 3.6-inches by 1.3-inches. There is an HDMI port sticking out of one end and a USB expansion port on the other. To the unit’s side is a mini-USB power port and an IR receiver port. To install the SmartStick, you simply plug the dongle into an available HDMI port, connect it to an available USB port for power (most TVs with HDMI ports have one), and then connect the IR…
ContourROAM2 Camera Review (Tech)
Contour’s new ContourROAM2 action-sports camera manages to fit a lot of capability and quality into its $199 dollar. New action sports cameras are popping up all the time. Most, however, are simply bringing the most standard of features and mediocre image processors to the table. While these cameras will do fine for the layperson looking to record a skiing trip or some other leisurely activity, serious sports players want to make sure their videos come out right. This could be for personal memories, playbacks, post-game debriefings – even Airsoft game play for your team’s YouTube channel. That being said, when first using…
G&G Top Tech TR16 R4 Commando AEG Review
The G&G Top Tech TR16 R4 Commando blowback airsoft electric gun is a large model M4 meant for MilSim and field play. It features a full metal (quality aluminum) receiver – both upper and lower, as well as an included (and rock-solid) vertical foregrip and 450-round, hi-cap magazine. One of the most impressive features of this AEG is its pneumatic blowback system which generates a slight amount of vibration/feedback when fired. In addition, this blowback system also makes the AEG a bit louder than usual – especially when laying down a lot of fire. I also have to praise the hop-up system…
Mars: War Logs Review (PC)
Mars: War Logs aims for the stars with high ambitions, but ends up just missing its target. A budget title from Focus Home Interactive and Spiders, Mars: War Logs is an effort to give you a AAA experience in the same vein as Mass Effect or The Witcher 2 but the end result is a game that is hard to take seriously. There are plenty of redeeming qualities to Mars: War Logs that makes the game well worth its twenty dollar price tag, but with big issues in the story telling and voice acting, Mars: War Logs doesn’t quite deliver…
G&G Top Tech TR4 M4 CQB-H Airsoft Rifle Review
G&G Armaments TR4 M4 CQB-H airsoft electric gun retails for about $360 dollars on websites like AirsoftGI and AirSplat – It is not a cheap purchase. However, this product is truly a textbook case of “getting what you pay for” and you will not be disappointed in this AEG – especially if you are looking for an accurate, powerful, and reliable CQB weapon. Much like the larger TR16 R4 Commando that we reviewed earlier, the Tr4 M4 CQB-H AEG features G&G’s pneumatic blowback system which adds a slight bit of recoil when the gun is fired. In reality, this “recoil”…
Surgeon Simulator 2013 Review (PC/Steam)
So there are people out there that simply won’t “get” this game whatsoever. These are often the same people who won’t spend $20 on the crane machine trying to win a stuffed animal nobody wants. They wouldn’t have stuck with Super Star Wars on the Super Nintendo or collected tickets in an arcade all night that gets you a pair of glow-in-the-dark fangs and a small spinning top. Maybe a whistle too, but that doesn’t matter… The whole point is that sometimes doing something difficult simply to get it done can be fun just to prove you can do it. …
Mini Ninjas Mini Review (iOS)
Let’s face it, there are plenty of times we feel like gaming and the PC or console just aren’t practical. Luckily, that is where Square Enix comes in! Mini Ninjas for iOS is the exact kind of game for those moments. Moments, when you are intolerably bored and wanting to block out the world with some good old fashion phone gaming. The 2D side scrolling runner has really come into its own on the iOS platform like nowhere else since the days of first-gen Nintendo titles. Mini Ninjas, with its excellent graphics is a prime example of that at a…
StarDrive Review
The “strategy” game category tends towards vagary, covering such a diverse range of play from tower defense titles to micro-managing empire sims. They can be turn based or real time and “real time” can be warped to mean quite a few things too – the only fundamental guarantee on a real time game is that it’s not turn based. With other genres, such as first-person shooters, you generally know what you are getting into. There will be a weapon in your point of view and you will negotiate various maps and levels, shooting bad guys. Even those who argue how…
Razer StarCraft II: Heart Of The Swarm Peripherals Review
I try not to be biased towards a company when it comes to reviewing their products but it seems like Razer is one of those companies which takes great pride and love in their products that it can’t help but be contagious. I was at one of their new distributors in town getting some work done on my PC when they brought out a NAGA gaming mouse to use as a display model. I must have restated my entire review of the Naga gaming mouse the staffers there and even game some possible suggestions on the best way to display it. …
Poker Night 2 Review
Telltale Games has released their sequel to last year’s poker simulator with Poker Night at the Inventory 2, or just Poker Night 2 as I will be referring to it in this review. Last year’s version had decent game play, great voice acting and fantastic unlocks to get me to buy in for the $5.00 price tag, but after the unlocks were gone I soon found that the repeated jokes, lack of multi-player, and the absences of other game modes would keep me away from the game. With Poker Night 2, Telltale Games brings us another set of four competitors…
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…
