Mirrors of Albion (iPad)

By Rebecca Larocque - November 19th, 2012

I so wanted Game Insight’s Mirrors of Albion to be a fun little game. Set in a version of Victorian England that has much more in common with Lewis Caroll’s Wonderland, you start out as a junior sleuth working alongside Chesire Jr. searching for the missing Alice Flemming. You search houses and other locations for clues, talk to her parents, and seek out input from other characters who are also pulled from the same world*. There is a great deal of assistance available from the characters you interact with, and you can always count on them to remind you what tools you need or where to look next.

MechWarrior: Tactical Command

By Seán O'Sullivan - October 19th, 2012

MechWarrior* is a cherished videogame franchise that has been around for over two decades now, and its name carries a certain gravitas for those who have ever played PC games – regardless of whether they have played previous titles in the series or not. Considering this rich legacy, it’s rather perplexing to see that MechWarrior: Tactical Command for the iPad is such a wretched turd of a game.

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard

By Seán O'Sullivan - June 17th, 2012

It’s probably safe to say that everybody knows at least one tech hardliner who derisively writes off the iPad as a “toy” – and not a productivity device. Despite its ultra-portability and battery life, the touch-screen keyboard is unlikely to be a reasonable solution for anyone who needs physical input to maintain a reasonable word-per-minute typing speed. Well, thanks to the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard, those who would scoff at the iPad as a means of getting work done have one less reason to.

Not only is this frustrating because you can’t listen to your own music; it’s a pain because you can’t see what’s going on but you can hear – denied! Well, Kidz Gear has come up with a solution for those of you who want to be able to create a more “compartmentalized” listening experience for everyone without destroying the ears of your children.
