NuForce has produced and released many products in the past. From DACs and Amps, to IEMs. They have even gone through and released a few Bluetooth speakers as well. They, however, have yet to gain entrance into the over-ear headphone market. The HP-800 mark their first steps into the over-ear, full-sized headphones. It’s claimed to be reference (more on that later), but is a great headphone nonetheless.   (more…)

Bluelounge offers a lineup of eco-friendly bags, ranging from simple iPad slings and laptop totes to full-fledged backpacks and messenger bags.

iQase | Case | $ 12.99

iQase isn’t the largest case company, it probably isn’t the first place people look to when it comes to cases. They are, however, able to offer a nice case for the majority of the iDevices out there.

Review: MiniGore 2: Zombies – Classic MiniGore… With Zombies!

[IMG]Mountain Sheep | 92.4 MB | $ 0.99

It’s been a few long years since we’ve heard anything from MiniGore. It has always stood up as a fun, pick-up-and-play dual-stick shooter and more recently, has been seen as a classic.

Apple | Earbuds | $ 29.00

The little white buds have always been a symbol of the iPod. The origin is unknown, it could be the silhouette commercials that Apple showed with the little white buds in conjunction with the iPod. Well, as most of you know, Apple has some new little white buds, and they’re dubbed the EarPods. It seems that it’s been a love-hate game with them.   (more…)

Karateka LLC | 644 MB | $ 2.99

Way back before I was born, there was a time… A time called 1984. During this time, a man named Jordan Mechner created a game while at Yale… A game called Karateka.

But does the Milo hold up to these high standards?  (more…)
