While we have reviewed products and other releases in a variety of ways over the years (specifically by way of our "Feature" section and our weekly podcast), with the introduction of our "Donate" page we decided that we wanted a new section to formally review these new items. While we will continue to review items on our podcast (especially things like CDs, where the audio format makes more sense), we will have complementary written reviews to flesh things out.
