It’s a feeling we have all had. The dread that follows the realization that you have just lost an important document is something most, if not all of us, are familiar with. Whether it be a folder of family photos, a critical work file or your entire hard drive, losing any important data is one of the worst feelings you can have as a PC user.

The Rival 710 gaming mouse from SteelSeries is a sleek, new mouse that boasts a variety of unique and high-end features such as Tactile Alerts for quick notifications, swappable parts for performance customization, split-trigger mechanical switches, TrueMove3 optical sensor for pinpoint tracking accuracy and an OLED screen for in-game stats. While this may seem a lot to pack into one mouse, at a price point of $129.99 CAD (~$100USD) one should expect to see quite a few bells and whistles attached.

Released late last month, The Colonists is a casual city builder from the one-man, UK-based indie developer Codebyfire.

Two-man indie developer out of Spain, Isolated Games, has begun an enormous undertaking. They are in the process of developing Between The Stars, an open-world space-themed action RPG with roguelike elements.

Released earlier this week, Megaquarium is the latest game to come from Twice Circled, the one-man developer responsible for the construction-puzzler indie hit Big Pharma. Those who have played Big Pharma will notice striking similarities within Megaquarium, particularly in the controls, graphics and UI. However, there are some major differences as well, and fans of a more traditional tycoon experience may be in for a few pleasant surprises. Now, on to the review!

I've been using the BlackBerry motion for a good 2-3 weeks now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the product in my hands. BlackBerry gets a lot of flack and hate, some deserved and some not, but with their latest two cell phones - the BlackBerry KEYone and the BlackBerry Motion - they are letting the cellphone marketplace know they are still alive and well, and ready for business. Whether a classy businessman, or someone who enjoys having phone and data security a key priority, you shouldn't look past the BlackBerry Motion for your next everyday smart phone.

For the majority of people, a television set is, well, a televisions set, and while you might notice the weight difference between an LCD and an LED, or perhaps the brightness differences between a plasma and a non-plasma TV, the reality is the majority of people will not know whether they are watching on a great TV versus a phenomenal TV.
