Review: OmniMount Articulating Flat Panel TV Wall Mount
2007-05-22 00:42:00
I purchased this particular articulating flat panel mount from Circuit City to hold a 32" Samsung LCD HDTV. The mount itself gets a 4 out of 5 stars for appearance. I'm not crazy about the logo on the center vertical arm, but the steel finish makes up for it.

Microsoft Offers Hands-On with "Halo 3" Online Beta
2007-05-14 21:45:00
SAN FRANCISCO?Microsoft and Bungie offered game journalists in New York City and San Francisco the chance to play ?Halo 3? before the Public Beta goes live next week. There are already thousands of Bungie Friends and Family members online fragging one another, so there was plenty of competition out there when I got my first hands-on experience with the next gen ?Halo.? From the amazing visuals to the dynamic sound, every aspect of the new ?Halo 3? lives up to the hype?even at this early stage. It certainly looks like ?Halo 3? will follow ?Gears of War,? which last year impressed even the most difficult critics with awesome new gameplay and an epic story line.

Next Gen Sports Games Come of Age
2007-05-07 23:20:00
Over the past month, I've been able to see and play some of the biggest sports franchises out there that will be coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer and fall from EA Spor ts . It usually takes a development team, which has one year to churn out a new game, at least two titles to begin to reach the potential of any new system. That means that Xbox 360 owners are in for some amazing sports games across the board this year and PS3 owners will begin to see what next gen sports are all about (although next year will be when many key franchises have caught up to Xbox 360).
