If I had to choose between oxygen and never being able to play Aien: Isolation again… well, so long breathing. The Creative Assembly’s masterful horror house in space is arguably the greatest licensed video game of all time. Yet it also came out a decade ago, so why am I suddenly bringing it up out of the blue? Let me explain.
Enter the Lofree Block keyboard: an amazing computing peripheral my colleague Peter Wolinski just reviewed. In one of our resident ‘board guru’s humble opinion, the Block is “retro, beautiful and ever so slightly flawed”. Yet I can easily forgive its $169 price tag and subpar software just because of how damn cool it looks. It’s “straight outta Alien”, after all.
