RoadMice Mercedes SL550 Review
Wow. When I first caught wind of this from CES I was totally skeptical of any sort of funcnality out of device meant to look like a car. I mean the simple notion that someone would use a car as their mouse every day seemed laughable. When my review unit arrived however I was instantly entraled with the detail of the box! This mouse looked nothing like a mouse. It looked like a 1/64th scale diecast car. I suddenly was feeling like a 12 year old boy ready to play with a new toy.

I have been testing the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon for a few weeks now and will provide a quick review of the device.

User Review - Limbo
If David Lynch ever made a video game, I feel like it would look just like this. Limbo is an independent game developed by Playdead. It was an Xbox Live Arcade exclusive for a year until it was just recently released on Steam and the Playstation Network. The game was a wholly original and fresh ride that I was sad to see end. The game is one of the most artistic and poetic games I have ever played but it was also really fun to play.
