Razer Hydra Review and Giveaway
Say the words "motion controller" to any serious gamer, and they'll screw their face up and scream gimmick. The WiiMote, Playstation Move, Xbox Kinect - none of these have made any real difference outside of casual and fitness gaming. Which makes it even more surprising to learn that Razer - a company traditionally known for pro-gaming accessories - also produces a motion controller for PCs. This is the Razer Hydra, but how does it hold up for real gaming, and is it an essential bit of kit? Find out in this review, then join the giveaway to win a free unit!
OUYA Review And Giveaway
When the OUYA was first announced and funded on Kickstarter, the Internet was positively buzzing over the possibilities for this tiny Android-based console.

However, is the retail build of the console any good? Will it shake the video game industry to its core, or is it just a device that sounds good on Kickstarter, only to disappoint? Keep reading the rest of the review to find out.

Building A Home Theater System? Do It Right! 10 Crucial Mistakes To Avoid
Do an image search for "home theater" and you’ll see photo after photo of huge, lavish theaters with seating for up to twenty (or more!) and giant screens. These ideals are every tech geek’s dream, but let’s face it; most of us don’t have the money or space. Instead, home theaters are usually placed in living rooms or, if you’re lucky, a small bedroom or office dedicated to entertainment.
Logitech Harmony Ultimate Review and Giveaway

Running Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), the Galaxy Camera is the exact opposite of what we're used to seeing today.

We took the Samsung Galaxy camera for a test drive to find all that out. And as usual, one of you will get extremely lucky and win this $430 camera for free!

Synology DiskStation DS413j NAS Review and Giveaway
To call the Synology DiskStation DS413j a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is a degrading understatement - but yes, it serves files over the network. To say it has RAID functionality is also somewhat unfair - the Synology hybrid-RAID is superior technology. To say it comes with a few additional features is just plain wrong - this thing is packed full of features and even has an app store. Today, we'll be taking a look at Synology's DiskStation DS413j and tell you what it's all about. Then we'll give one away (diskless).

Razer Naga, Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mice Review and Giveaway
Next to a good keyboard, a mouse is one of the most important tools in a PC gamer's toolbox. For some genres, a mouse is even more important than a keyboard.

I will look at each mouse individually, and then compare them head to head, to see which one wins out as the ultimate MMO gaming mouse. Keep reading to find out! And we're giving bot
