Review: Alice: Madness Returns
Despite being stuck at the bottom of a waterfall for a very long time, I loved the original PC game. I had high expectations of the new version, and American McGee did not disappoint.

The world has been up in arms over the SOPA/PIPA bills introduced into the House and Senate. I am against both, and was happy to see them pulled and the support people showed for those opposing it.

Review: Fry’s Price Match? Not Really.
Let me start off by saying, Fry’s is a great store if you need a computer part. Their staff is usually helpful and knowledgeable, and their prices are competitive.
