Unique Games & ToysShop Designer Toys Don't forget to follow us!So I just recently received a review copy of Disney Interactive's latest title, Disney Universe.  If you know anything about me at all, I'm a huge Disney fan/nut.  In fact, my review is only slightly delayed since I just spent the last 4 days in Disneyland.  So yes, my last week was full of Walt's legacy. But in this forum, I'll only be speaking of the latest platformer, Disney Universe.  This is a wholly new IP that is in the vein of the LEGO franchises, with a great focus on the worlds inhabited by Disney Characters.  In the title, you begin by only having access to the Pirates of the Caribbean (also a game already in LEGO form), and it plays very similar to those titles.  However, the difference is you don't play as characters from, you play as a unique character, who wears caricature versions of Disney Characters.  It's like a non-descript character wearing costumes of Disney Characters. 

This is where I bring in the similarities to Little Big Planet.  Though your avatar isn't quite as cute as a Sackboy by itself, the fun combinations of famous Disney staples are fun in their own right to mix and match.  Running around with a Stitch costume, playing through Pirates of the Caribbean scenario's is quite the juxtaposition. I've struggled for the past week on how to write a gaming-centric review for the new Selk'Bag 4G Lite, sleeping bag.  I've decided that I can't...however, since Mashbuttons has been branching out into some more tech gear, this does still have application. Just like any ol' sleeping bag, the Selk'Bag rolls up nice and tight into it's own carrying case. If you're not familiar with it (I wasn't) of the Selk'bag 4G Lite sleeping system, then you're actually in for a treat.  It's a take on your standard sleeping bag, and turns it on it's legs; This sleeping bag is not a bag but a full-body suit made from sleeping bag material.  It's made to be a wearable sleeping bag, but offers flexibility to to still give you freedom of movement. 

Sure, there's a Snuggie, but that's just a blanket with sleeves, this is a full-body sleeping bag machine!  In a word, it's pretty sweet.  Imagine sitting around the campfire with just your legs in it all nice and cozy. Continue Reading our impressions Peter Moore, you know, the head honcho over at EA has stated that the breach is not on their side. Some of you may remember a little title that released on the PlayStation 2 from a developer that may have the most artistic style I have seen in gaming, Vanillaware. If GrimGrimoire doesn’t immediately come to mind, then that most likely means you never played it or forgot about it. Vanillaware are the masterminds that brought you one of my favorite action platformers, Muramasa: The Demon Blade. This time, I am reviewing a classic real time strategy from the PlayStation 2 that is now available to download and play on the PS3. In GrimGrimoire, you play as Lillet Blan, a magician that comes to a magic school, but on the fifth day everyone disappears, and when Lillet wakes up, tasked with uncovering the strange disappearances.

I know this may sound like Harry Potter, but more entertaining, I promise. Being that I have played Vanillaware’s other titles and somehow missed this gem, I had to pick this up and see if it compares to the other titles from this developer. ar drone parrot reservedeleLow and behold, it does, maybe not as well as Muramasa, in my opinion, but definitely one to have around to go back and play over and over again. parrot ar drone rekkeviddeThe art style is exactly what you would expect, and the story is even more than I was expecting. ar drone parrot reservedeleThough I am not a huge fan of RTS games with the exception to Warcraft, it does take you by the hand in the beginning and prepares you on your journey to uncovering the mystery behind the strange vanishing. parrot ar drone ssh

The characters have a lot of depth and provide an adult tone to the humor and dialogue, making it tough to put down as you play on to see what happens next.parrot ar drone edmonton The bad, is there any? parrot ar drone protective gear and shaft bumper setI would say it would the speed in which the story develops as it can be a bit slow at times, but the twists are worth it and playing through the levels help move it along in between long cut scenes. Also, I was not a fan of the button layout and trying to select specific units, as this is an RTS, you have to think carefully about your next move, but the ability to select the difficulty in between days does help if you find yourself stuck. All in all, I regret not playing this game while it was on the PlayStation 2, but very happy that this was made available to play again on the PlayStation 3.

I must say if you are a fan of Vanillaware’s titles and have not played this or remember playing on the PS2 and get the itch to play it again, you should definitely check it out, as their titles do not come out as often as I would like, but maybe the few and far between releases are what works best for them. Now if only they would release some art books for their games and please, please, please bring Muramasa and Odin Sphere to the PlayStation Network as Downloadable titles. Post-Apocalyptic wastelands, Ark's, sprawling open world gameplay following your sudden waking from a long bout of Cryo Sleep; why does this seem so familiar?  Oh, cause in RAGE, the most recent work from famous Austin-based iD developers, you immediately get a sense of deja vu if you've played any of the similar titles in the past two years.  Borderlands, Fallout 3, heck even the recently released Dead Island "feels" the same.  The problem was, i enjoyed those games more than this. Full Review continues after the break

Yes, you heard me right, we now have a release date along with a gameplay trailer for Cave Story 3D. This is a title I recently purchased in the original form with some Nintendo point to see what the hype was about and had so much fun with it that I have played through twice and the only reason that I have played another time around is so I can play with the 3D features. Check out the trailer to see the compare and contrast between the original and upcoming. Ubisoft has provided us with another gameplay video for Rayman Origins, showing off the numerous ways to bubblize your enemies. Along with seeing some of the action, the biggest or I guess second biggest reason to watch the video is that at the end, it says if you pre order from GameStop, you get Beyong Good & Evil HD for free! has taken on a few new products as of late to review, and apparently it's new headphone week.  has sent us their top-of-the-line Moguls, a classic DJ-Style set of ear speakers that we were really hoping would blow us away...they didn't, but that's not to say they don't have an audience.

In today's fast-paced, everything is electronic world, most are listening to the newest Jimmy Eat World albums from their iPhone, iPod's or Android phones, (mostly) lost are the days where real high-fidelity meant something.  Instead, most consumers don't really know what great (or even good) sound is.  The stock earbuds for most devices aren't worth even taking out of the wrapper, but where does one go if they want a good set of headphones?  Well that depends on your budget. Not everyone can afford a $300 pair of beats by dr. dre but most can justify a sub-$100 pair of 'phones as an upgrade from the stock.  Are iFrogz' new Moguls the answer, coming in at a SRP of $69.99, but found online for around $50 on Amazon?  The new Moguls are an over-the-ear style set of cans that don't really fit OVER the ear, but more "rest-like-pillows-on-the-ear" type.  The best headphones are able to block out external noise by completely covering up, almost cupping your delicate ear drums, in this case the Moguls just rest on top...like pillows of sound.

Their sound quality is better than those of the stock variety, sporting 50mm drivers and a frequency range of 10-30,000 Hz, so there is some bass here; but I found the full-range lacking in the highs and mid-range.  I'm used to using Sure in-ear buds however, that typically have more of the mids and highs, and not quite as much bass, a typical trade-off of the smaller form factor. As a test, I had a fellow co-worker try out the new cans that doesn't have much knowledge or experience in the headphone department, usually content listening to his Pandora from the built-in monitor speakers of his PC, who had this to say of the headphones..."These are great, I love them, so much better than the built-in speakers".  Of course they are. And so my point of who these headphones would be ideal for is presented before me.  These are perfectly fine units for those who want to upgrade from the stock equipment, however if that same person is an audiophile, they will quickly be looking elsewhere to much more respected names in sound (Bose, Sony, Sennheiser, etc), but to the uneducated, I can see alot of users happy with these.
