Gamers most likely know the name Harcos because of the companys various, gaming-related energy drinks. For example, there’s the Health Energy Potion, the Mana Energy Potion and, my personal favorite, Zombie Blood. The company is known for capitalizing on fads, so it’s not surprising that it’s latest product cashes in on the Charlie Sheen whirlwind tour. Time to bring out the Tiger Blood…

Harcos is an energy drink manufacturer that caters mainly to gamers, teenagers and pop-culture fans with a series of whimsical energy drinks (and powders!) that provide energy in an array of flavors and eye-catching containers. Their latest product is Zombie Blood, a neon-green, lime-flavored, energy potion packaged in a blood bag that’s designed to give drinkers a four hour energy boost.

After getting a chance to test it out, I can easily say Zombie Blood is the tastiest, most refreshing and most novel energy drink available. I can’t believe Harcos didn’t tap zombies for their sweet nectar sooner…

Back in February, 2009, Gamertell had the opportunity to sample and test Harcos’ Health Energy Potion, an energy shot drink designed to appeal to gamers.

Today, Gamertell once again samples a Harcos product. This time I’m going to be taste testing and trying out the Mana Energy Potion, Harcos’ original energy shot. Like the Health Energy Potion, it’s a 50mL drink. You can find it alone in stores like Hot Topic, or online at the Harcos site or ThinkGeek.

The Mana Energy Potion looks a bit different in person than it does in that pretty promotional shot you see above. It seems to be an azure shade of blue. I’m thinking it’s because Harcos used some sort of backlighting, because I couldn’t recreate that shade when I was looking at it. In person, it has more of a cerulean or teal color to it. I think it would look more appetizing if it was the azure color.

Again, like the Health Energy Potion, the Mana Energy Potion bubbles when shaken…

Energy drinks and energy shots are pretty much everywhere, since people love the idea of being able to cut back on sleep without feeling exhausted. In order to help capitalize on their popularity, and also reach a very influential buying group, Harcos has created a line of energy drinks geared towards gamers.

The first was the Mana Energy Potion, a blue energy drink with a citrus flavor designed to give an energy boost. Since it was well received by the masses, a new variety, the Health Energy Potion, has just been released. Like the original, it promises between five and eight hours of energy after drinking a 50mL shot…

Okay, we already know there’s a potion drink created for gamers to restore their mana points (Mana Energy Potion), but what about their hit points? People could be in serious trouble out there! Harcos, the company that created the Mana Energy Potion, decided to step in and fill this serious gap in the gaming energy drink market with Health Energy Potion.

The Health Energy Potion is basically another one of those energy shot drinks. It’s a 1.69 oz, potion shaped bottle that costs $3.45 and is supposed to give you an energy boost that lasts 5-8 hours. It currently is available at the Mana Energy Potion website, but will also be at Fry’s, Hot Topic, ThinkGeek and Micro Center if you want to wait and just buy one bottle.

You may want to make sure you’re really tired and need the boost before drinking though. I’m looking at the specifics and the drink has as much caffeine as two cans of Red Bull. Once your hands stop shaking, it probably would help you stay up and game. It doesn’t have any sugar in it, but it does have elderberry, ginseng, biotin and folic acid in it. Yum…
