Smith & Wesson Galaxy 12-LED Flashlight (8 White, 2 Red & 2 Blue LEDs)
| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  Solid piece, good value, November 28, 2007 Pros: - Installing the 3-AAA batteries was a breeze. - The cover that screws on to the bottom has an O-ring for what appears to be a water-tight seal. - Very comfortable in the hand. - Bright and clear LEDs. Cons - There is no on/off for each color. You have to cycle through Red, Blue and Off. This means you can't just turn on Red and then turn off Red. - No way to have White, Red and Blue all on at the same time. Not really a big deal, but it would have been cool to have. Think maximum light! |

PlayStation 3 Eye
| 37 of 38 people found the following review helpful: The EYES Have It, November 24, 2007 Fun: I can't get the name Eye Toy out of my head. The familiar camera for the PS2 now has a very new and classy look on the PS3. Say hello to the mature Playstation Eye. If you had a Playstation Eye for the Playstation 2 you are probably aware of the interactivity that was available. Now with the newest edition Eye that is taken up one level to a whole new dimension. Getting my hands on this has been a few weeks in coming. Deciding on whether I wanted to purchase it with a game is what kept me. In reality I didn't need a card game so I purchased this for the measely sum of $40 and now I have this beautiful contraption. Once you open the package there is not much to it. Connect the 6 foot usb cord to the PS3 and go to device settings and make sure your PS3 is aware it has a camera. No installation here which makes life that much easier. If you have access to the Playstation Network you can download the Eye Create software for free. A rather small and unassuming file packed with punch. I really didn't expect much from a free program but I was in for a big surprise. The program is actually an editing program and a very simple but very good one at that. The program allows for capturing video, sound, and pics. You can then edit your masterpiece to create a decent home movie. I am still unaware as to whether I can upload the videos onto Youtube or mail them to others on my friend list. This is a great little bonus program to owning the Eye. As of now there are a couple mini games available at a low price on the PSN. And of course they are interactive with the Eye. The first game is actually an aquarium. I don't know as much for a game as an interactive screen saver that would be nice when your entertaining. The camera captures movement and gives your slight reflection as if looking into aquarium glass. You can move your arms around to spook the fish and then you can act like your dropping your hand in the water to see the slight ripple. Pretty cool little trick. The other game is kind of silly but the kids will love it. The object is to save these little mindless creatures. By using your hands to move them to safety. The game starts off rather easy and gets more complex. Most adults may get bored but I can see how a child would have a lot of fun with the interaction. Of course this is just the beginning of numerous interactive games that will be available for many months on the PSN. No word as to whether they will offer these games in a collection on the disc. The first major game to utilize the Eye will be Sing Star. It will allow you to show off your singing skills to others. Now I have just mentioned a few of the advantages of the Eye and of course there is the Eye of Judgement game many people have raved about. But I enjoy this camera for the ability to have video chats. I had a video chat and the picture looked great. Very clear and able to handle low light. What was also impressive was it moved at normal speed thanks to the cameras ability to move 120 frames per second. Having a conversation with someone looks normal and not like they are moving in slow motion. The microphone picks up sound extremely well and the voice conversation comes out great. The PS3 allows for video confrencing with 4 people. For the quality it is one of the best and cheapest video confrencing programs available. I would have to say the Playstation Eye is a shining feature on the PS3. If you are looking for something that will continue to reward you over the coming months with new games and the ability to actually see the people you talk to the Playstation Eye is where it's at. Great for kids or adults it's a great value. |

Nintendo DS Lite Gold with Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (NDS Bundle)
| 43 of 45 people found the following review helpful: Fun sequel to one of the previous best, November 22, 2007 Fun: Here is the review I wrote for the game after it launched. I hope some of you looking at this bundle find it helpful. It truly is an amazing game. Enjoy! ***Note: Some spoilers within*** It's been a while since I enjoyed a Zelda title on a handheld. This selection doesn't disappoint. I'm only a few hours in and I'm hooked. The story line, graphics, music and the characters are all excellent. This title, like Wind Waker, uses the cartoonish/younger set of characters versus the young adult set from Twilight Princess. For now, here is what I like and don't like. Of course, I'll update the review as I get deeper into the game. Pros: - Picks up where Wind Waker left off. A great story! - Having the map on the second screen is brilliant. Being able to jot down notes on it is even better. This is by far the most useful tool in the game. - You can save at any point in the game. - Puzzle mix is pretty balanced. Nothing too simple and nothing aggravating to the point I want to put the game down. I really dig some of the creative elements they've added to the dungeons. That's all I'm saying; I don't want to give away any spoilers. :) - The boomerang. I love drawing the path out on the screen. Not only is it used to complete certain actions/puzzles, it's a vital tool in fights. Tip #1: Go slow when drawing the path. If you hit walls or obstacles, the throw is not completed. Tip #2: You can hold down the left shoulder button to instantly switch to the boomerang. This is a great way to quickly arm it. Cons: - I feel like I'm always running out of "screen". This just boils down to the stylus control and limited real estate of the DS. - Getting Link to "roll" is quite difficult for me. Others may have this move down. I'm still struggling. - You can "fall" into water (you lose a heart piece) and off of cliffs. One stylus touch too far and Link can be sent flying off a cliff forcing you to start a map from where you landed. For me, that always seems to be the beginning. :) - Other than accessing menus and flipping the screens, the direction pad is pretty much unused. In similar games, I prefer to use it for "moving" characters on screen. It was a little disappointing to see this left out. Not a deal-breaker, just nice to have. - Using the microphone. I don't think you need to incorporate this into every game. It's great for its intended purpose, but frankly, I don't want to have to blow on my DS to make candles go out as part of a puzzle. Is there a button that will do the same? If there is, I haven't found it yet. I'm still blowing. Just a minor annoyance. So far this game is a lot of fun; more to come soon, if I ever put this thing down. ***UPDATE 10/08/07*** The game continues to rock. The story is getting deeper and I've very into it. I also like how the ocean-going portion of the game is panning out. (E.g. Upgrading the ship, plotting courses, ocean battles, etc.) The addition of "treasure hunting" or "salvaging" is like a mini-game in itself. The versatility of the items you acquire continues to impress. Examples: - The bombs (oh, how I love the bombs) can obviously be used to blow up enemies, but they are equally useful in blowing up crates and walls so you can gain access to new areas and treasure. - The bow and arrow (my new favorite) is not only a fast and accurate weapon, but a vital tool fot activating dungeon "eyeball" switches. ***UPDATE 10/14/07*** More great items, more great adventure. Here are some highlights from the last week (hopefully I don't spoil anything). - Fishing is great. I found myself a fishing rod. Well, I was actually given it. It is little hard to control at first, but once getting the hang of it, provides a lot of fun and there is a nice surprise waiting for you if you "catch 'em all". - I'm hooked on the Grappling Hook! Like the boomerang, it's a vital tool and is used for much more than just grappling. One great example, think "Human Slingshot." - I finally died (fire and ice dragons were tough until I figured out what to do). It was nice that all I had to do was walk back through the blue portal and I was right back to the boss fight again. Thank goodness I didn't have to do the entire dungeon again. ***UPDATE 10/28/07*** I finished the game on a flight to LA this weekend. - The storyline continued to develop and really kept me interested; all the way to the end. - The new items (especially the hammer) were perfect additions to the already creative arsenal. (Hint: Be sure to hold down the stylus for a second or two and the hammer doubles in size and punch) - A couple of the boss-fights were actually in 3D-mode versus top-down 3rd person. The graphics during these sequences looked great. - There were even some really funny moments towards the end. When G'Pa snatched the hourglass from Link mid-spin, I cracked up. - Lastly, the final boss fight was excellent. Not too hard, multi-leveled (literally) and actually really fun. No frustration. Kudos to Nintendo for making one of the best games I've ever played on the DS. Thank you! |
