Review: Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS
At first glance, it looks like your average Mario platformer. The box shows Mario jumping over to some Bricks, while avoiding a Goomba with a Tandooki tail. But then you put the game cart into the 3DS, and this is where it shines. This review will be seperated into “Graphics”, “Gameplay”, “Audio” and then a summary of the game in general.
Review: HUAWEI’s SONIC Android-powered smartphone
No, we’re not talking about the famous SEGA blue mascot here.
This is the Huawei SONIC. Simply put, it’s a bargain 3.5″ Capactive touchscreen smartphone that runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on a 600Mhz CPU coupled happily together with powerful GPU.
Let’s cut to the chase.
Review: Dual-USB Port 5000mAh Power Bank; Packs a punch, even charges an iPad!
MiLi Power Crystal compared to the 5000mAh Power Brick.
No, it’s not a pocket HDD. What you see above is a Generic Chinese Power Brick, that is charging off my MiLi Power Crystal as per the official name of the device. We got this one from eBay, search under “5000mAh power bank”. Postage was fast from Hong Kong – we ordered it Thursday last week, and got it on Wednesday. Price tag? Well, $38 USD which was ~$32AUD due to the high Aussie Dollar.

NOTE: This article expresses views of the author, not Coburn’s Domain as a whole.
This is an updated version of my Black Ops review that I did on my blog, which can be viewed here. Call of Duty has been around for some time on the Nintendo consoles, starting from Call of Duty 2 on the Nintendo GameCube and it’s sequel, Call of Duty: Big Red One. The latest installment in the series is CoD Black Ops for the Nintendo Wii. You are an agent called Mason on a mission to kill some targets.
KingSpec 8GB SSD Review: Mighty impressive & won’t sting the budget
Having ordered one of these SSDs a week or two ago off eBay for building another computer to keep my hardware skills up to scratch, it arrived after a short delay. As pictured above, the SSD doesn’t use the SATA power connector, instead it uses a standard 4-Pin connector.
The SSD was made by a manufacturer called “KingSpec” and I ordered mine off a eBay Hong Kong supplier. Of course, this wasn’t a cheap clone of an SSD, this is an industrial grade SSD. Or so the sticker says.
Review: Sonic Unleashed (Multi-platform, PS2/PS3/Xbox360/Wii)
Note: This article expresses views of the author, not Coburn’s Domain as whole.
Also note that possible spoilers may be present.
The multi-platform title, Sonic Unleashed, by Sega is like your traditional Sonic game, racing through levels, collecting rings, avoiding Dr. Eggman’s evil army and traps. However, it also adds a night-time freeroaming mode, that reminds me of Super Mario 64, where Sonic becomes a Werehog, and can use his claws that can kill enemies in a single hit.

7″ sub-$100 ePad/RS-10PAD Android Tablet review: “It’s just a piece of sh*t!”
Looks can be deceiving, but it's not an iPad.
This tablet PC arrived at Coburn’s Domain Headquarters a few weeks ago. It was sent from Hong Kong, and took a weekend to get over to us in Australia.

Apple’s new Macbook Air – not safe for couch computing!
In the last few days, Apple launched the new Apple Macbook Air to the world featuring a 11.6 Inch screen.
Our friends at TechCrunch looked into the Macbook internals to see how Apple has crammed all the components into this tiny computer, and they found out that you could get a serious skin burn if you decided to go couch computing. As a result, it’s recommended that you should get a pillow, lap desk or even put a laptop cooler on your lap to protect your private parts and legs.
Review: TerraTec Home Cinema Editing Program
Some computer users might not of have heard about this program. Neither did I until i got it a few days ago.
This program, TerraTec Home Cinema Editing Program, came with my $128 AUD Elgato EyeTV DTT TV Tuner. I tested it out by trying to edit my Digital TV Recordings using the program called “Cut” which is one of the tools that came with the TerraTec Home Cinema software package. It will come in handy, due to the fact that I can delete the TV advertisements from my recordings to try and save space on my computer’s hard drive.
