| Easily Turn Your Android Device Into A Retro Gaming Hub Posted: 15 Feb 2014 01:00 PM PST  One of the best advantages of having an Android device is being able to emulate old consoles. From the Sega Genesis to the Nintendo 64 (or even the Nintendo DS if your device is fast enough), there exists a wide range of emulators for Android devices, all available without any rooting or modding.

This doesn’t mean you’ll listen to one and not the other, it only means you might listen to them at different times. Social networks are just the same. You...

| Is Loadout The Free-To-Play PC Shooter You’ve Been Searching For? Posted: 15 Feb 2014 04:00 AM PST  Lately, when the terms free-to-play is mentioned along with a video game, we automatically think the worst. We’ve all been there and seen the miserable experience that can come from games of the sort. All too often they are riddled with pay walls that prevent you from enjoying the game, and they generally just suck. Loadout, a F2P third-person shooter available on PC, features none of these issues. Instead, it follows a more Dota-like model that lets you enjoy the game as much as you like for free, and it only puts cosmetic items and XP boosts behind the paywall. But...
