We're out folks. Well, not all of us. Sara's got full editorial control until at least Sunday. She's got the retro gear updates and rumor has it, a ColecoVision game snuck into the review docket this week along with a few arcade classics that just couldn't be left behind.
Meanwhile, I've taken two of our testers on a little trip to PMA..... [ read more ] Feb 09
Tradeshow food is bad pretty much anywhere you go. Although, there are few places where you'll find some surprising top-notch, tastey selections, like Asia or some shows in Europe. There, the food is pretty darn good and worthy of reporting back.
Oh yeah, the boys suffered through hockey-puck burgers and just strange things over in Vegas for CES, but..... [ read more ]
