Magzter - A Great Way To Read Magazines On Your Tablet [iPad]

One of the cool things that you can do on an iPad is read magazines. When the slate was first announced, it was touted as one of the main selling points, but it's a feature that seems to have flown under the radar for the most part. Sure, Apple launched Newsstand, but most articles written on it are simply directions for tricking iOS into hiding it in a folder. Of course, it doesn't have to be this way, as there are some fantastic apps for magazine lovers.

Video Game Collector's Editions That Actually Held Value [MUO Gaming]

One of the biggest money makers for video game companies is collector's editions. Generally, companies include a junky art book, a soundtrack, and some form of cheap plastic that no one really wants. The price is jacked up to an obscene level, and profit for the publisher goes through the roof. I even included collectors editions into my list of biggest rip-offs in video game history. However, some collector's editions have held their value in a big way.

5 Reasons Call Of Duty Players Should Give Halo 4 A Shot [MUO Gaming]

I will readily admit that I am a Halo hater. I've played almost every entry in the franchise (except Reach, I heard mostly negative things from my hardcore Halo playing friends). I reached a point where I decided that the Halo franchise just was not for me. If, like me, you've given up on the Halo franchise, Halo 4 is the game you should give another chance, and here are the reasons.

Mario Gets Around - 4 Best Mario Spinoff Franchises [MUO Gaming]

Besides the platformers that Mario is known for, there are a ton of spinoffs that feature the famous plumber's name and face attached to them. Almost all of the franchises with Mario's name are of an incredibly high quality, so picking the best is no simple task. However, I have a great deal of experience playing all of them, so I am going to really think hard and choose the Mario spinoffs that are the top of the heap.

The 4 Most Important Websites For Classic Video Game Collectors [MUO Gaming]

Collecting video games is hard work. Sure, you can go on eBay and just buy up everything you want, but if you do, you will be paying full market value or more for every game and console you purchase. This is not the smartest way to collect, as you will be spending much more money than you need to. Instead, the best way to collect is to use your local resources such as pawn shops, flea markets, Craigslist, and if you're really lucky, Freecycle.

Always Be Connected: What You Need to Get Internet Anywhere

We live in a world where we are accustomed to being connected at all times. It's almost impossible to go out without wanting to have Internet. Between email, social networks, settling arguments, and chatting with friends, we all feel like the Internet is not optional at this point. I am not here to debate whether being connected at all times is a good or bad thing for society as a whole.

5 Awesome Games That Make PlayStation Plus Worth The Price [MUO Gaming]

I recently wrote an article about the biggest rip offs in the history of video games. In it, I was quick to point out that Microsoft charges $60 a year for a service that simply grants players the ability to play games online and a few other little perks. Sony, on the other hand, has an incredible service called PlayStation Plus that costs $50 a year, and gives users some cool extras, while playing games online remains free.

Memedroid - An Awesome Way To Kill Time On Your iPhone [iOS, Paid Apps Free]

Memes are one of the most important things on the Internet. Sure, you can use the web to find important, potentially life saving information, but that is all overrated, as the meme is what truly makes the web go around. After all, looking at funny pictures is the reason the Internet was actually invented. Okay, so that's all an exaggeration, but memes are definitely hilarious, and they are a big reason sites like Reddit and 9gag are so popular.

Video Games You Probably Didn't Know Were Created By Shigeru Miyamoto

When most people think about video games, they think about Nintendo. When they think of Nintendo, they think of Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the first people we think of. He is the genius behind some of Nintendo's most beloved characters like Mario, Zelda, Link, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Fox, and the list simply goes on and on. While he might not be the godfather of video games in general, he is most certainly one of the most important figures.
