Critter Crunch was inspired by classic puzzle games like Magical Drop and AstroPop, except Critter Crunch has you controlling Biggs, a furry little creature that lives on Krunchatoa. And as the food chain goes, the goal is to survive and grow, while taking care of his young named Smalls. Basically there are too many animals in Krunchatoa’s ecosystem and Biggs needs to take care of this overpopulation. There’s only one catch, Biggs doesn’t actually eat the other animals on Krunchatoa, Biggs enjoys the jewels that are dropped once the other creatures explode from overeating.

So lets begin with the controls, this is just about the simplest game I have ever come across on a next-gen system. You literally have four buttons used in the game play of Critter Crunch and two of them are the d-pad arrows left and right. If youre looking for a game that literally anyone can pick up and play, this has got to be it. Despite the fact that the game itself takes a little time to get the hang of, at least you dont have to worry about trying to remember which button does what.

Secondly, were going to discuss the graphics. Overall, for a PSN game thats not meant to have the biggest and best graphics being as its more of a Mario style 2D game, Critter Crunches graphics are, well, as youd expect. It has that classic arcade look to go along with the classic feel and the two flow together almost flawlessly to make a classic looking, easy to pick up and play, game for anyone who needs some entertainment.

The object of the game, as I said before, is to basically feed the smaller creatures to the medium creatures and the medium creatures to the large creatures in the most efficient way possible, by making large combos and using special creatures to make the combos even larger and to last longer, which in turn gives you a bigger gem when they explode. Thats pretty much the entire concept of Critter Crunch in a nutshell, but as you get more experienced youre eyes become trained to put together bigger better combos in the least amount of time and moves possible as you race against the clock or against a competitor!

Not only is there multiple single player modes to choose from, but there are almost just as many multiplayer game types that you receive access to with the purchase of Critter Crunch! So if you get bored, or just need a break from the strenuous single player modes, you can hop online and VS a friend or just a random player who you get matched with to kill some time!

Overall, Critter Crunch is a very solid game and deserves a purchase if youve ever had fun playing a puzzle game. I personally didnt really get too big into the arcade type games, but I found Critter Crunch to be some good fun, even though Im by no means good at it. So if youre wondering about the purchase of this game, I would say go ahead and pick it up, but if you just absolutely hate puzzle games, then Critter Crunch probably isnt for you.

Jabra BT125 Review

I got my Jabra BT125 Blue Tooth Headset with my copy of Warhawk back when I first got my PS3 and here’s the review!

Overall the Jabra BT125 is a really solid and well performing headset especially for only $12.00! I would recommend the Jabra BT125 to anyone who doesn’t mind wearing a Bluetooth headset on their ear.

BUY THE JABRA BT125

First I’ll start with the look of the Jabra headset. Out of the many headsets I’ve seen, I must say, the Jabra BT125 has a really sleek looking design and is easily one of the sexiest headsets I’ve come across. Although the design does nothing to improve the abilities of hte headset, the look does mean something and for the Jabra, the look is at its best!

The comfort level of the Jabra BT125 headset isn’t the best. To be honest I really don’t like the feel of many Bluetooth Headsets to begin with and Jabra could have put a little more thought into the comfort level of this bad boy. I found that after a while of using it, my ear would really start to hurt, but being as I was gaming, I ignored it until it turned from a sore ear into a throbbing headache. That was the main reason why I went out and bought the FreeStyler 500. I ended up sacrificing some quality and performance for the comfort, but that’s just me.

The sound quality on the Jabra BT 125 is really quite amazing for a $12.00 mic. I found that I never had to turn the volume to the maximum and I could always hear clearly and from what others have told me, they could hear me clearly as well. I never got any complaints in game lobbies from anyone telling me that my mic was buzzing so there’s no need to worry about that. As far as quality goes, this is probably among the best you’ll find in the Jabra’s price range.

Overall the Jabra BT125 is a solid headset and I really think it was very well designed. Again, the only negative thing was the comfort and that really kills this headset for me. If you’re looking for a headset, I’d say this is a great option and for only $12.00 it’s worth a shot!

Last week, I was looking around for more products to review and I came across UniqueSkins and thought their products looked like a winner! I looked into it further and UniqueSkins was kind enough to send me out some skins to review! After receiving the skins and looking them over, I turned out to be correct in calling Unique Skins a winner, because these skins are super durable and high quality!

As far as how I like it, I think that Apple should include one of these skins with every iPod purchase, because everyone hates to scratch up that beautiful silver backing on their brand new iPod. This makes them go buy a case, even if they don’t want it and most of the time people shop around for a case, so Apple doesn’t get the money anyway! Skins are a perfect and inexpensive way to fix this problem! I’ve always had cases with all of my iPods and I never liked how fat it made the device, but now I know what to buy with my next iPod upgrade!

Overall my opinions on UniqueSkins products are that I’m simply amazed that I never came across them before. Their products are phenomenal and I don’t think there’s any better skins out there! The skins are made of thick, almost a silicon material that isn’t going to get ruined if wet and won’t tear unless you’re trying to tear it. Another amazing thing that Unique Skins pulled off is the quality of the custom image after being made into a skin. I gave them a high quality image and that image is just as high quality on my skin, no quality was lost in development and printing! Now that’s something to be proud of! Keep up the good work Unique Skins!

The skins start at $6.99 and vary in price depending on the size of the skin.

FreeStyler 500 BlueTooth Headset

The Soyo Group FreeStyler 500 BlueTooth headset review.

The FreeStyler 500 BlueTooth headset has a cool look and design and has fairly long battery life. Id have to say that im not sure what i would change about it if i could change something, i think it was designed well.

The first thing I want to talk about is the price. For $15.00 you cant really go wrong, and the BlueTooth headset is worth atleast $40.00 in my mind. This headset isnt built cheap, it has some weight to it, but it could have a little more thought into it.

Unlike most other BlueTooth headsets, the has only three buttons on it. This makes for very easy use and its very straight forward. The also has the volume up and down on different sides of the headset itself so its easy to know if your turning the volume up or down. One minor issue that I have with the FreeStyler 500 is that the volume doesn’t go up as high as I would like it to. Also, when I turn it up to the maximum, people complain because it has a slight buzz, but if you keep it one level below full the buzz goes away. So make sure you keep that in mind and don’t turn it up to the maximum volume unless necessary.

Included with the Soyo Group FreeStyler is a charger and two interchangeable ear pieces. One earpiece is just like a normal BlueTooth headset, and is reversable to be worn on your right or left ear. The other piece makes the FreeStyler into more of a lapel mic. I absolutely love this piece, because I really don’t like bluetooth headsets on my ear, I find them to be heavy and uncomfortable. Another reason why I like it more is because the piece that goes into your ear is actually part of earbud headphones so I’m already used to and comfortable with wearing earbuds. One other reason why I like this attatchment so much is because when I play PS3 with headphones on, my Grenade X Boosted headphones let the earbud fit perfectly underneath the earcups.

The included charger works great and has a good length cord so you don’t have to worry about it not reaching where you would like to store your headset to charge.

I think that’s about all that I have to say on the FreeStyler 500 headset, I hope you found this useful, and if you did, or didn’t, leave a comment telling me why or why not.
