Ipad mini review.

The 2 boxes on top of each other.

Back in October apple and the interwebs were filled with rumors and lies and worse slander lol..  Amazingly though after a few days of that Apple released new on the new Ipad mini. I myself didnt think much of the new product I just thought that this is apple they usually do things like that I am sad to say that it has become the norm for them. Until last week when I so graciously received a review model of the Ipad mini from Apple.

The mini sitting pretty on top of a Ipad 2.

Them back to back. Or rather front to front.

Right of the back let me tell you that the Ipad mini is a Ipad 2 just smaller they cut off some of the border and just made it all screen much like the new Iphone it fits comfortably in your hand and you can use one hand to take care of everything. I personally wouldnt only because I hate the thought of it falling out of my hand.

There really isnt anything new about the Ipad mini, really it is just a smaller take on the ipad 3 for those who havent adopted to the Ipad yet it is great for those who are part of the Kindle only crowd. The newest thing about the ipad mini is that like the iphone 5 it boasts the new lightning adapter. 

All in all when everything is said and done the Ipad mini is great if you are a late adopter of the Ipad brand and wish to go for something more familiar to the kindle heck even if you recently just adopted the ipad 3 this would be a great take. 

PSA: if you bought your Ipad in the last 30 days of the Ipad mini and Ipad 4 coming out Apple will gladly take a return and you can buy up.. 

Again thank you to Apple for the review model of the Ipad mini 32gb.

Stay tuned for our review of Halo 4 and it less scifi counter part Black ops 2. Also we have the Windows Surface tablet RT and its 2 Keyboards. 

Until Next Time Geeks...

First Sandy now a Nor'easter.

Hey Geeks I know that I was suppose to put up a review of Halo 4 on Tuesday but due to Sandy and the snow everything is late so I am updating you to stay tuned because Apple and Microsoft were very generous to send us here at EGFG review models of the new ipad mini and the Surface tablet RT along with 2 Keyboards.. So stay tuned for reviews and I hope that if you are like me on the eastcoast you and your families are safe.


Until Next Time Geeks...

Let the holiday of gaming begin.

Every year the big 3 release games in November that will make everyone go bat crazy during the holiday season and make the occasional soccer mom kill another person on black friday..

The first game to be reviewed for the big holiday season is Assassin's Creed 3. The Assassin's Creed franchise started in fall 2008 since then it has had several sequels and multiple spin offs which have come out every year around the holidays. Usually they are hit or miss but for me they are always hits. The story is great the graphics are awesome and you usually lose a couple of hours without noticing.

This year Ubisoft released Assassin's Creed 3 third installment of Desmonds story and the start of Connor's story as you may or may not know he is the newest assassin that you will get to play as in the franchise.

The game takes place during the American Revolution it also has some missions before the actual war starts. The game starts with you in an opera house not yet playing as Connor in true Assassin's Creed style. You venture the opera house doing the normal things that the assassins do free running climbing and then killing an escaping. Shortly after you are put on a boat headed for Boston.

The controls are as smooth as ever and they are again in the same fashion as the first. Smooth never taxing and never confusing if you have played the other games you will know how to play and control this game.

The graphics are as great as ever there are small places where the graphics show hiccups but I think that is because they want to show you, you are in the animus. The story is as good as ever I dont want to spoil anything because I dont want to ruin anything for my readers. All in all this is a great game it will give you hours on top of hours of play time it isnt a bad rental ether if you dont have the time.

Stay tuned for our Review of Halo 4 and a review of the multiplayer aspect of Assassin's Creed 3.

Until Next Time Geeks..

Metal Gear Rising Revengence Demo Review.

Back in 1999 when Zone of the Enders was released one of the big selling points for the game was that Konami included a Demo for Metal Gear Solid 2. Fast forward 12 years and with the release of the Z.O.E Hd collection comes a new demo for a new Metal Gear game.

 The demo of Metal Gear Rising starts out with a small tutorial if you choose to play it. After the 5 min tutorial you get a small prologue and some great cinematics shortly after you are on an Island and you are ambushed by some invisible cyborgs.

The Graphics on this demo are amazing much like any metal gear game. The are very immpressive even though it is just a demo. The controls a fairly simple X for a hard attack and y for a wide attack. If you would like to use the free blade mode you just hold down the left trigger. 

The demo itself is pretty long and ends with an boss fight all in all this demo is pretty good and if it is a taste of what is too come i am so looking forward to the game. Metal Gear Rising is set to be released in early 2013..

Until Next Time Geeks...
