Teaching Your Kids the Joys of Tech Hacking

Tech Hacking is a unique new way for families to bond. It can be the perfect project builder for people who have a little bit of computer or technological savvy.

Sentinels of the Multiverse Game Review

Sentinels of the Multiverse is a lot of fun to play and keeps me coming back for more. Admittedly, I am a comic book geek, but even a person who is not will enjoy the game. Comics and comic book heroes are nothing more than the theme and serve as the narrative for the game play. But it's not pasted on. Oh no, is certainly is not! The game is fresh every time I play it, challenging, social, and engaging. Simply awesome.
