Customer Reviews
Great Review Show
This is a good review show. It ranges in topics from hardware to software to entertainment. If you need a second opinion on something, check if they have a review for it. If they don't you can suggest that they review it. The host is always really well researched on the item for review and the guests they have on are super cool. ;)
