If geeks love it, we’re on it
The Gamerscore Blog has been a steady source of information regarding the Xbox and Microsoft LIVE service since October of 2005. Today Microsoft’s Global Games Online Community Manager Tony Hynes posted that the blog has been retired permanently. According to today’s post, there are many places to find important Microsoft gaming information, and this is […] Add comment
Each of the three DLC libraries is adding an interesting casual game this week.

RiDATA, owned by RiTEK, has been a manufacturer of optical storage devices like CDs and DVDs since 1989 and recently ventured into the world of flash memory. This year they released the Ultra-S Plus line of 2.5″ form-factor solid-state drives. Today, I’m looking at the highest capacity model: the 128GB drive. Add comment
Depth of Peril has a lot of great, even innovative, ideas behind it. The genre combination it represents are the types of revolutions that potentially define new genres, and turn others on their ears. As a student of game theory and design, I find this a fascinating experiment. It’s too bad that it’s so awful […] Add comment

Two weeks ago, I took a look at the NZXT Tempest case which was described as “an enthusiast’s steel tower.” NZXT has also sent us their Guardian 921 case, which I’ll be looking at today. NZXT calls the Guardian 921 “Power for Gamers,” which I assume means that they consider this the right case for […] Add comment

The biggest releases are Sonic Unleashed for the PS3 (Came to the XBox360 two weeks ago), Prince of Persia for the PC (Released for PS3 and XBox360 last week) and Rock Band 2 for the PS2 (released a couple of months ago […] Add comment
From a small, relatively unknown studio comes a game that, with just few tweaks could be the best open-ended RPG ever. That’s right, I said it. Mount & Blade gets it right, where so many before have failed to deliver. This game is what The Elder Scrolls franchise should have become. Remember Daggerfall? Remember how […] Add comment
Much derided by PC gamers is the trend toward classic PC franchises which have been moved wholly to the consoles. This week, PC gaming fans of Grand Theft Auto will finally get a chance to play the game their XBox-owning friends have been talking about, as Grand Theft Auto IV is here for the PC. […] Add comment
Most of this week’s releases are for the Nintendo DS. Let’s take a look at what’s new: If you’ve ever wondered what Sonic the hedgehog would be like as a lycanthrope, you’ll get your chance to find out this week with Sonic Unleashed for the 360. This one’s got two interesting gimmicks: A day/night cycle […] Add comment
A lot of interesting games drop this week. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights. The eighth game in the Tomb Raider series, Tomb Raider: Underworld is going to put a lot of focus on the environment.

In 2004, a group of gamers formed a company based on the idea that there wasn’t a company out there that catered specifically to PC gamer’s unique hardware needs. Calling the company NZXT, their stated mission is to design “unique products catered for hardware enthusiasts and gamers.” They now design cases, mice, power supplies, and other […] Add comment
This originally appeared in the Icrontic Blogs: I really like the functionality of my ZBoard. In fact: ZBoard is the wheelbarrow that carries the otherwise useless FPS gamer in me through late night sessions of TF2. However, the ZBoard could be much more than it is, for the user, and for its distributor, Ideazon. If […] Add comment
Daniel James, CEO of Three Rings (publisher of Puzzle Pirates), gives his view on DRM in a short piece he’s written for Penny-Arcade. It is interesting to see the perspective of a gaming company CEO, instead of just another commentator. Add comment
Spore has been highly anticipated since its announcement several years ago. The ability to design and evolve a creature from amoeba to sentience to space flight is attractive to simulation game fans everywhere.

Duct tape is probably one of the most geeky materials known to man. We have a history of working with duct tape that includes some fairly impressive constructs, as well as several contest victories for creating purpose-built structures in a short timeframe. In February of 2007, we decided to put our skills working with DuctTape into a long-term, practical project. We wanted to build something that could really be useful. We decided on a computer case.
