Random thoughts about Street Fighter IV (not exactly a review)
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Games, Reviews
Street Fighter IV is a lot of fun, and feels like a perfect evolution from Street Fighter II, which is perfect for me since I never got into the Alpha games or SF III. While online matches are lag free more often than not, the rest of the online mode is broken. The lobby system [...]

Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Gadgets, Reviews
I covered a couple of problems with the Dash Express GPS receiver in part 1 and part 2 of my review, but there’s a growing list of frustration with the Dash that make it feel like I’m more of a beta tester instead of a paying customer. Routing Issues – The primary function of a [...]

So, taking that into perspective, the fact is that GTA IV is more evolutionary than revolutionary. The single-player story starts out strong, but loses steam near the [...]
GTA IV – Multiplayer
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Games, Reviews
One of the biggest new features of Grand Theft Auto IV was the brand-new multiplayer modes. GTA hasn’t had proper multiplayer since my friends and I got together and had a LAN match playing the original GTA, so it’s been a while. Rockstar jammed a crapload of multiplayer modes into the game to dramatically extend [...]

I’ve had my Dash Express GPS for a few weeks now, but I haven’t had the chance to really put it through its paces until last week, went I went down to Houston on business (not “business”). The Dash is unique in that it’s a GPS device with a built in GPRS internet connection that’s [...]
