The Pop Hours is inspired by classic LEGOs, with each of…

Aside from a seeming love for the letter ‘k’, Karas Kustoms also makes sweet-looking cases for the iPhone 4. Thsi metal case gives the phone an even more industrial look than it has when it ships from Apple.…

I’m sure this fact is painfully obvious for a lot of gamers, but in case you’re one of the people who look down on DLC and digital downloads, here’s a very convincing, albeit long-winded argument from former Rock Band 3… lead designer Dan Teasdale. To sum it up, Teasdale says
