Microsoft Surface Pro Review
May 21st
This laptop-tablet frankenstein was a fairly divisive bit of technology when it released in April, and it suffered a bad reputation from it’s underpowered RT cousin, which was released ahead of it.
This is a review of the Surface Pro, which is the model with high-end hardware and is running a full version of Windows 8—exactly the same OS that runs on desktop and laptop PCs.
A lot of early reviews took issue with some of the design choices for this unique, laptop-and-hybrid machine. But do the compromises to make this double-power machine work in both roles sabotage it or liberate?
I’ve been using the Surface Pro for 3 months now, and I’m ready to give my verdict.

So it came as a surprise that a network like Syfy would ignore the stigma and attempt to create a new and original world shared by both the television viewers and the gamers at the same time. Here we’ll be reviewing the PC version of Defiance to see if Ark Hunting is as profitable as it seems or if it’s just another multiplayer free-to-play MMO.

League of Legends Collector’s Edition Razer Naga Hex Review
May 9th
The Razer Naga Hex, in general, is a mouse designed squarely at MOBA and ARPG gamers with special side buttons designed to allow quick item and ability use. This particular mouse takes it one step further, branding itself with the League of Legends logo and bringing some bundled in-game goodies along with it.
But can it really make a difference in your game, and how does it perform outside of its native country of LoL?
