The following is a review of Kaiju Crush, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Rock, Paper, Scissors, Destroy While Kaiju Crush isn’t a very deep game, we’ve enjoyed every play of it. The idea is simple: each player selects a kaiju/monster and tries to destroy as many tiles in the city as they can, keeping in mind what types of tiles they are, and which objectives for bonus points is active.

Solid Mouse, But I Prefer My G502 Until a few years ago my last experience with a wireless mouse was with some model by HP.

I wasn’t expecting much from the new Ghost in the Shell movie, so I wasn’t surprised when it wasn’t that great.

The following is a review of xinkeji’s Fitbit Charge 2 Bands,Fitbit Bands Milanese Loop Stainless Steel Metal Replacement Bracelet Strap, Wristbands Accessories for Charge 2 with Stronger Magnetic Clasp, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Metal Bands are Better than Plastic Slightly off-topic, but I’ll first note that the name of this product is absolutely ridiculous. I’m not sure how they want people to actually refer to this, especially since a number of companies produce metal bands for Fitbits.
