This review has been a long time in the works, but I've finally got it out the door. My extensive review of the Corsair SP2500 speaker system. The video review locks in at 20 minutes. It starts off with the summary and conclusion, and then dives into the details. Sections start at these times:
2:30 - Examination of the Hardware & Usage
12:45 - Performance & Spectrum Analysis of EQ Profiles
18:30 - Vinyl Connection: The SP2500 + Starter Turntable
The set is phenomenal and earns our Highly Recommended rating.

It appears that the United Nations has approved a new television standard officially called Ultra High Definition but being branded as Super Hi-Vision, which is 7680x4320 pixels. I wonder if/how this will impact gaming when it becomes the new standard in a mainstream fashion.
"Ramblings of a Moron" is a review series done by WSGF member Cynagen. While reviews from other sites focus on extensive play and detailed postmortem analysis, "Ramblings of a Moron" is a first impression "stream of consciousness" review. The grammar isn't perfect, and the prose can sometimes be disjointed, but these are the first impressions of a seasoned WSGF Insider. For more information, and for more Ramblings, see the complete list of Cynagen's offerings.
You're a tiny utility robot stranded in a strange underground place. Using only the rotor on your head and the tractor beam... underneath, it's time to explore, push buttons, haul stuff around and make your way through puzzles that involve physics, logic or memory. A demo is available in Steam and also as a DRM-free download, so there's absolutely no reason not to check this lovely little game out.

Enter The Matrix casts the player as Niobe or Ghost, captain and first mate of the rebel ship Logos, respectively. Niobe is a master combatant, capable of beating up everyone in her way. She is an excellent pilot, both in the real world and in the Matrix. Ghost is very adept at firearms, and his marksmanship is a mastery. Both characters are very athletic, and throughout the game the player will have to walk, run, jump, strafe, peek, run on walls, climb ladders and pipes, and fight various enemies.
