Game Reviews

It's no secret that I have been into computer games since I set eyes on a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I computer way back in 1978. Having grown up playing pinball and early video games in the arcade, as well as enjoying the earliest console video game systems, the thought of being able to play games on my own home computer was geeky nirvana!

Thirty-four years later, I still enjoyed playing computer games. My home PC rocks and I look at life through a 30" monitor. I've slowly been working on a series called 25 Games That Rocked My World.

So would you be surprised to discover that my son, Zach, has also turned out to have a passion for gaming?

I didn't think so. As they say, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Zach is a much more avid gamer than I ever was. And he takes is far more seriously than I ever did. Not only that, but he has some very profound thoughts and deep insights into the video and computer gaming realm. He never ceases to amaze me as he shares his perspective on the industry.

That's why I am excited that Zach is sharing his unique perspective with the rest of the world on his website, GameCheetah.com.

Zach writes in a number of categories, including first looks at games, reviews, editorial and outright opinion. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks. And his passion for gaming is real. This is a young man who has something to say! I especially like a recent article where he discussed ways that game companies are rewarding gamers for playing.

If you are into gaming, why not hop over to Zach's site and see if his work resonates with you. It got the attention of Dave Taylor, who now features a weekly review from Zach on his popular tech blog, AskDaveTaylor.com

If Zach's work engages you, be sure to leave a comment and let him know please! Visit GameCheetah.com

Samsung Galaxy S III to be sold in Mobile Pin pop-up stores

At the very tail end of its Galaxy S III event, Samsung promised one more surprise -- and what it gave us was a special retail strategy. The company will be opening Mobile Pin locations, or glass-housed pop-up stores, to help showcase its new flagship phone. Those at the event got to look at examples of the stores first-hand. Everyone else will get a look in the near future, with Mobile Pins appearing at least within London. We've got a gallery below to explore the locations in more detail.

American Idol Top 5 Review: Back to the 1960s...

There were no bell bottoms om stage. And we didn't notice a single civil rights protest.

But the American Idol finalists still took us back to the 1960s last night for their first round of performances. Who stood out? Joshua Ledet. Who might be in trouble? We're afraid to say, but Skylar Laine. Decide for yourself now as you watch the opening quintet of covers and then vote on your favorite...

Sauntering to the stage with her backup singers, Hollie Cavanagh went up tempo with "River Deep Mountain High.

Phillip Phillips pulled out his guitar once again and wrote "The Letter" to fans.

How about a little CCR from Skylar Laine? Not our favorite performance of hers, but perhaps you were rocking along to "Fortunate Son."

Jessica Sanchez showed off her range once again with "Proud Mary." But the moving around the stage and fussing with her hair was a bit distracting.

Joshua Ledet "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" and we ain't too proud to say: incredible job here.

Adam Yauch Of Beastie Boys Dead At 47

Rapper has been battling cancer since 2009.

Adam Yauch, one of the founding members of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rap trio the Beastie Boys, died on Friday (May 4) at the age of 47 after a lengthy battle with cancer.

The news was announced on the GlobalGrind website, which is run by Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons, the man who signed the Beasties to their first label deal. "GlobalGrind is confirming this very sad news," read the post. "One of our heroes, Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys has passed this morning after a long bout with cancer. Our prayers go out to the family of Adam and the entire Beastie Boys crew."

Rumors about Yauch's ongoing battle with cancer were sparked anew last month when the rapper was not present alongside fellow band members Adam Horovitz and Michael Diamond at the group's induction into the Hall of Fame
 as just the third rap group to ever achieve that honor. Yauch had been off the public scene since 2009 when he was diagnosed with cancer after a tumor was discovered on his salivary gland
.

His treatment delayed the release of the group's 2011 album, Hot Sauce Committee, Part 2
 and it had kept the normally tour-happy trio off the road for the past three years.

With his gravelly voice and laconic rapping style, Yauch stood out in the trio, whose other members tended to have faster, more nasal flows. He formed the B-Boys in 1979 while still in high school as a hardcore punk band, but their sound progressed over the years until they emerged as one of the most successful rap groups in history. After getting signed to Def Jam in 1984 they released the smash Licensed to Ill, which included such hits as "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right To Party," "Brass Monkey," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and "She's Crafty."

Their next album, the psychedelic 1988 release Paul's Boutique set a new high-water mark for the art of sampling and stands today as one of the finest examples of the art.

Like their label mates and friends in Run-DMC, the B-Boys excelled at seamlessly interweaving their vocals, trading off lines and verses at lightning speed. Amid the barrage of verbal gymnastics, though, Yauch's voice stood out for its world-weariness and unhurried cadence on tracks like "High Plains Drifter" and his tongue-twisting, double-time disco breaking showcase midway through the 12-minute Boutique epic, "B-Boy Bouillabaisse."

Though all three Boys emerged on the national scene with snotty, party hardy attitudes, it was Yauch who grew into the most centered and serious member of the group. In addition to playing bass, he also directed many of the group's videos under the pseudonym Nathaniel Hornblower. Rarely seen in public, Hornblower made a legendary appearance at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, bum rushing R.E.M. as his alter ego after they took the Best Direction award over Beastie pal Spike Jonze for his landmark work in their cop-show spoofing clip "Sabotage."

He was also instrumental in organizing a series of all-star concerts between 1996 and 2001 to raise awareness of the repression of the Tibetan people. The shows, which combined activism and music, featured sets from traditional Buddhist acts and speakers as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, De La Soul, Beck, Foo Fighters, U2, Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, R.E.M. and Pearl Jam.

Yauch, a practicing Buddhist who revised some of his young and wild lyrics in concert later in life, went on to direct many more video for his band, as well as the kaleidoscopic 2006 Beasties live movie, "Awesome, I F---in' Shot That!" He also formed Oscilloscope Laboratories, a film company that distributed a number of documentaries and features, including "We Need To Talk About Kevin," "Dark Days," "Meek's Cutoff," "Beautiful Losers" and the Banksy doc "Exit Through the Gift Shop."
