News::Game Guys review - Skullcandy PLYR1 gaming headset

A little more than a year ago, audiophile headphones maker Skullcandy purchased Astro Gaming. Astro has long been considered the gold standard in gaming headsets and now the Skullcandy is getting in on the game. Skullcandy's gaming headset lineup is meant to compliment, not compete, with the Astro line. Think of it as GM's Buick and Cadillac lines. If Astro Gaming were the Cadillac of gaming headsets, then the Skullcandy line is the Buick with its PLYR 1 model being the Enclave.

News::'GRID 2' Review | Analog Addiction

Analog Addiction writes: "There are two main types of racing game fans, simulation and arcade. Arcade racers provide an over-the-top racing experience, one that just wouldnt realistically occur. While simulation is for the car enthusiast, providing an experience that is grounded within the confides of reality. GRID 2 ultimately satisfies both racing game fans, providing intense racing arcade racers will enjoy, with a focus on driving realistically to earn the chequered flag. Pulling off arcade style passes might be a key to success, but without driving with awareness of your surrounding this could ultimately send you into the wall. Being able to ride the line of both racing genres is something GRID 2 does significantly well, offering both types of racing fans thrilling racing experience."

Since the 2010 Independent Games Festival, Monaco: Whats Yours Is Mine from Pocketwatch Games has been something of an unsung gem.

However, as the buzz began to build, especially during this last PAX East convention, people were saying its the next Fez or Super Meat Boy, and generally implied that it is the most important indie game to come out in a long while. Monaco isnt a game-changing indie title as that many hailed it to be, but it is a blast that is worth your time and money.
