Amazon Kindle Fire

October 10, 2011
So, it's received a lot of hype. A tablet offered for less than $200? That's more than half off the cheapest IPad available. So, what's the beef on this thing? It features a dual core processor, a 7" screen, and multi-touch capability. The available battery lasts approximately 8 hrs of constant use (comparable to the IPad). What's the downside? It doesn't feature a built-in camera or microphone, so for those broadcasting people, it's not for you.

PS3: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

September 14, 2011
I initially played Civilization on the PC a couple of years ago, which was pretty fun, but I never got into it wholeheartedly. I was looking for a game that was really just a time killer, and came upon this for the PS3. It's simple yet strategic in the controls and turn-based gameplay. This console version is actually a lot more intuitive than any PC-based versions I've played.

PS3: Being Enslaved- Not to Bad

September 14, 2011
First off... the initial game play sucks. Obviously the developers thought the players could read, but had never played a PS3 game before. During the first couple of acts the basic tutorial gets boring, real fast. Once in the game, it's not to bad... hit-hit-kill with specified combo. You can upgrade your stats... shield, melee, etc. individually.

The Enslaved story is "alright", but leaves you with "Wait, What?"

About Me


Jerron James I am currently a student at the Salt Lake Community College studying Computer Science with a strong interest in Computer Engineering. I'll decide when I finish my AS, Computer Science. I have been out of school for quite a few years, but I'm back now to finish with no interruptions. My main goal in life right now is to finish my Bachelor of Science degree, which I have been putting off for far to long.
