Aliens: Colonial Marines Hit by Class-Action Lawsuit

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on May 2nd

First up, I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve not actually played the game, and probably never will…I do however adore Gearbox for no other reason than Borderlands. That’s enough from one company to assure me that they’re not evil.

Gaming From a Galaxy: Battleloot Adventure

Geek Dad Report: We Build a (very basic) Robot Dinosaur!

by Ryan Thomason under FEATURED on Mar 5th

Ok, maybe it was only a couple of parts that had to get screwed on or pressed into holes, but for the first time, we made something together where my son got to see the electric guts, ask questions and then put it together himself.

AfterShokz Sportz M2 headset, Review

by Ryan Thomason under READ on Mar 3rd

I was excited, but skeptical, could they really work, especially for someone like myself that wears hearing aids? I should have been prepared with the outcome. First, I want to put some perspective on these headphones and where I’m coming at from my viewpoint and why I may have a totally different set of reasoning than people with normal hearing. If you don’t know me, I have moderate to profound hearing loss....

Geek Dad Report: Am I His Ultimate Protector In Game Too?

by Ryan Thomason under FEATURED on Nov 19th

We’ve started letting our 5 year old play on my old Nintendo, of course, he loves Ninja Turtles Arcade. Now, I’ll disclose this early on, after a couple of game sessions we couldn’t make it past the first level in the game. Eventually, I realized it was a Konami game, and well, you know what follows if you’re a retro gamer. Before using the code, the time that I beat Rocksteady with barely any health, and zero...
