Last week, Plants vs. Zombies for the iPhone and iPod Touch [iTunes Link] was released. It apparently sold like hotcakes. As of yesterday, it had sold 300,000 copies at $2.99 each.
But please, don't let it's sales and the current 4393 5-Star ratings on the App Store convince you that this is truly an excellent game, leave that to the following video.
Before you drop $2.99 for this game in the app store, decide for yourself that it is a must have for any iPhone gamer by playing it online here.
So I decided that I was going to review my video camera, because I think its really great, however when I sat down to do so, I realized that I had no way of filming it. So... yeah. Its a good camera. Stay tuned for more real reviews.
Well, we told you we were gonna review everything but the kitchen sink, so here we go: the Nerf N-Strike Firefly. You thought we were all about technology and stuff, well you were wrong! When we're not reviewing the latest and greatest in iPod apps and HP mini netbooks, we're reenacting WWII battles with our Nerf guns (and experience shows that I'm the better gunman. But dont tell Luke that). This one is a single shot, 8 bullet-holding pump action gun, and when compared to other N-Strike guns, it may not seem like much. But when you look closer, you'll see this gun has more to offer: glow in the dark darts!! Included with the gun are 8 glow in the dark darts and a special light thing that makes the darts glow even more (I'm still not completely sure how). So, if you're fighting in the dark, this gun has the advantage...except the light will give away your position. But it's ok, this gun is battle tested and battle approved by Minus the Sink. 4/5 stars.

I have only had it for a few days, so I can't really speak about its performance or anything. But today I went to the library at 3 pm and left at 8 pm and I still had 25-30 percent battery life left. And I was using it constantly for those 5 hours (at half brightness, updating stuff, messing around with different mail clients, reading some boring film papers). So, the battery life is pretty good. It doesn't have a lot of RAM, so I can't do a lot with it, but that's to be expected when buying a netbook. I'm not looking to use it as my primary computer, its just something that I can take around to class with me and take notes and not pay attention and go on facebook during lecture and stuff, so it does the job in that regard. If you're looking for a netbook, I would suggest the HP Mini 110-1030NR. Good computer, good value. 4.5 stars.
