Over the summer, shortly after I got my iPad 2, I began to play the hidden object games available from Big Fish Games. My favorite of them was Drawn: the Painted Tower. It chronicled events in the life of a girl named Iris who is locked away in a tower to keep her safe from the tragedy that befell the rest of her family. Iris has the special capability of bringing her own drawings to life, and the main goal of the game is to utilize the drawings and objects within them to free Iris from the tower so that she can fulfill her role as princess of the land. Sadly, once you reached the end of the game, you were left with a bit of a cliffhanger after you helped her escape from the tower and into the town.

Our good friends over at ThinkGeek have endowed us with this invention of wonder from Aperture Laboratories. Now with less than 1% Mercury a genuine Aperture Laboratories shower curtain! I have spent a fair amount of time playing Portal 2 since it came out. Thanks to our friends at Nvidia with a GeForce GTX 570 3D Vision set, Portal 2 is even better. When I first saw this shower curtain I flipped and said I GOTTA have this! The curtain is made of the finest materials and you can't have the finest materials without a little risk. ;) The curtain also comes with an ever so friendly message from Aperture Laboratories.

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the material emancipation grid will not emancipate dirt, oils, or body odor from your person. For the benefit of your fellow test subjects, cleanse your body in the provided bathing facilities. To avoid expenditures on eye bleach, please do your personal cleansing behind this curtain. Thank you for your cooperation. :)

This curtain is by far the best shower curtain I have ever used and deserves the 5/5 Gear rating that I have given it. If you would like to have one head over to ThinkGeek.

ZAGG’s InvisibleSHIELD technology is a revelation in protecting electronics, but the full body coverage can seem like a daunting task to install. A little while ago, I got it into my head that I could only get the 3DS Screen Coverage because the maximum coverage package looked like it would be too difficult to put on. Then I started thinking about which one would be the absolute easiest to install, and came up with my own little personal InvisibleSHIELD installation challenge. I pitched my idea to the kind folks at ZAGG and they were happy to send me a 3DS maximum coverage SHIELD as well as an iPad 2 maximum coverage SHIELD, so that I could compare and contrast the installation process, no doubt confident in the fact that I would find the difficulties to be similar.

With its sleek new style the Trident Kraken A.M.S. case for Apple iPhone 4/4S over powers the original Kraken case. The creativity definitely was put into overdrive when it came to creating such a solid case that can perform in almost all adventures of your life. If you're hittin' the bike trails with family or friends you can use the attachment (sold separately) to hook onto your handlebars, or if you are a photographer with your iPhone like myself and you want to capture a steady picture there is a tripod connection (sold separately), and if you get lost in the boonies and need a little GPS to help guide you back to main roads without taking your eyes off the road there is a window suction unit (also sold separately) to use for securing the case to your windshield.

Charlie Broker referred to L.A. Noire as "the triumphant return of the adventure game," but is that really a good thing?

A few months back in August we received a relatively new product called the LifeProof case for the iPhone 4. We completed a written and visual review of the case where we received great feedback from the consumers about what they did or did not like about the case. We also had prospective buyers comment on how they review helped to make their decision on their purchase. There were also those who were unhappy with certain imperfections with the case that we ourselves noticed and then there were times where we could not reproduce the same issues others had that we had not originally noted.
