en-us Not just another tech site. Great consumer product reviews and tech articles. http://www.bonafidereviews.com sss http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=251 Here at BFR we receive numerous review requests for USB gadgets and usually dont bite simply because they dont offer anything unique. Today we are reviewing not just a USB drive but rather a company, Promolocker, and it's product offerings. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=250 One of the cool things about this job is that I get a lot of email on an almost daily basis with press releases and review requests for all sorts of interesting products. Back in Decemeber I received one from a company called Brando, which we have covered products from before, and I instantly thought "I have to review that!" http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=249 With the holidays right around the corner many enthusiasts are in the market for a brand new video card. Given the current economic climate, shoppers more then ever are trying to get the biggest bang for their buck. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=248 The iM600 is Altec Lansing’s latest offering in a long line of iPod speakers systems beginning with the very successful iM3 back in 2004. Since then, the popularity of iPod speaker systems has grown and competition among speaker manufacturers has increased. Released mid-year 2007, the iM600 is a powerful, portable sound system that contains many features that aren’t available from other companies in its price-range. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=247 Today in the BFR labs we have a brand new display from Samsung's latest 81 series of LCD HDTV's. The specific model we have is the LN-T4081F, a 40" 1080p LCD display. The 81 series displays are unique because they feature Samsung's LED SmartLighting technology. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=246 War. Huh. Yeah. What is it good for? Well apparently its good for selling tons and tons of videogames to obsessed FPS fans. Say it again now. Unless you’ve been living in a foxhole for the past few years you have probably heard of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty series. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=245 Eternal Sonata is the latest RPG from Tri-Crescendo, starring – of all potential heroes – Frederic Chopin. Yes, that Chopin – the Poet of the Piano, the famous composer who tragically died of tuberculosis aged only 39. The game takes place inside his last dream, as he slips into a coma on his deathbed. Here, he meets a young girl called Polka, who is also affected by a terminal illness. In this imaginary world, people suffering in such a way are able to use magic, and Polka has the power to heal others. However, most people are afraid of catching her illness and avoid her, so she has no real friends. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=244 Luckily there’s a game coming to the US in October that will do just that: Bleach: Shattered Blade. Unfortunately, for fan and skeptic alike, this game is also an anime based fighting game. Can Bleach: Shattered Blade live up to or outdo its pseudo predecessor Budokai Tenkaiichi 2? http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=243 Zune 80 is one of Microsoft’s second generation portable video and audio players; also referred to as “Zune 2.” I have been really excited about Zune 2 because of the numerous articles online that praised it, pointing out the new and improved features, and saying that it was a big improvement over the first generation Zune. So, when Microsoft finally announced that they were going to release Zune 2 on November 13, I made up my mind to go and get one. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=242 In fact, just about the only clichéd thing about the game is the story – which is almost exactly the same as every other Mario title in existence: Mario’s love interest, Princess Peach, has been kidnapped by the evil Bowser, meaning that the plump plumber must embark upon an epic journey across many different locations filled with devious platforming challenges to save her. No surprises there. The twist is that this time, Bowser’s taken Peach into outer space, so Mario’s quest will require him to visit extraterrestrial venues. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=241 Alright folks, it's crunch time. The year is coming to a close and if you didn't pick up your new HDTV during the "Black Friday" sales in November your last chance is quickly approaching because once it's January you will no longer have a legitimate excuse to splurge on that big screen (men I'm talking to you, I doubt any woman that want's a HDTV will get any resistance from her significant other). http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=240 The best summary of Gears of War that I've heard was quipped by one of my friends as we played it on my then brand-new Xbox 360: "Gears of War is the Hummer of videogames.” And that's true - everything about Gears of War is big, brash and 100% American. http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=239 Tis' the season for new electronics and while a laser printer might not exactly be as exciting as a new 50" HDTV, it can still make for an excellent gift... even if that gift is to yourself. Today we are taking a look at Samsung's CLX-2160N, the self-proclaimed world's smallest color laser MFP (multi-function printer). http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=238 *Beep Beep Beep* Startup code initiated.
