Jeffs Reviews

I review computer hardware and software, consumer electronics, kitchen gadgets and tools. Almost all I know about computers comes from hands on learning on the internet on my own, no classes or college in computers. I have built a few computers on my own and do all the work for all the reviews I write, contacting the companies myself and asking for things I am interested in purchasing myself. I work hard to bring you my opinions of the things I review and hope you enjoy my writing.

New Technology

All the new technology and just not enough money to purchase it all.

I would love to be able to afford all the new kinds of stuff available today, but the pocket book just does not have enough in it. I did purchase a new monitor and am looking into a new TV but with all the new things coming out there just is not enough money to go around. I am saving up for a PS3, sort of, and will be getting the cheapest one available, the Spiderman one.

I get Wii and XBox 360 games to review from both the manufacturers and post on Associated Content as well as my part time writing gig at Game Chronicles and take these very gently used games to Gamestop for the trade in value. Although some games I have reviewed would make better doorstops than games they do add up and I am close to getting that PS3. If nothing else it will make a nice Blu-Ray disc player for my TV so I just can't wait to be all in for the current consoles. If you think this is great think again, as most of the XBox 360 games I have received have either gone to Gamestop or my son wants.

I just cannot get the hang of a first person shooter with that stupid controller. I am totally clueless as to why MS does not make a better one for FPS games or allow someone to make something that works just like a mouse and keyboard. Sure the XFPS does work pretty well but not as good as a mouse and keyboard so most games are just not the same on the XBox 360 for me as the PC.

Technology aside I think we need to have better quality stuff instead of more and in gaming this is certainly true. Why do publishers toss games out that are half done when they could make a killing by delaying it and making a really good game? Ours not to reason why, just to review and add up those points.

Have a great week.

Jeff
