The Video Game Cuff Links

, Nov 27th 2007 Discuss [0]

Sometimes even gamers need to look nice, you can't wear those quirky tees all the time. If you're stuck in an office all day, you need that one bit of rebellion to remind you of who you really are. These cuff links are a nice enough quality to blend into any environment. Read The Full Story

Official Activision Guitar Hero 3 wireless controllers not coming until 2008

, Nov 26th 2007 Discuss [2]

That’s pretty much it, those of you that have the PS3 or Wii versions of the game can go buy a whole other copy of the game to get a second controller. For now that’s it, and the Xbox 360 and PS2 owners are stuck without until next year. So, there are tons of knockoff guitar controllers, there is one guitar for Guitar Hero 1, 2, and 3, and another for Rock Band, and depending on what system you have, there were some random special edition official guitars along the way. That’s pretty much it though. Read The Full Story

SNES style Wii controller from Club Nintendo

, Nov 16th 2007 Discuss [1]

That’s right, Club Nintendo in Japan will be offering up a Super Nintendo controller for your Wii. So, if downloadable SNES games for the Wii just haven’t been the same for you, due to a lack of the proper controller, all that will be changing soon. The gist of the deal is, when you buy games in Japan, well, really just Nintendo games, you get points that you can redeem through Club Nintendo. This will be one of the things you can redeem your points for come April. Read The Full Story

More fret pounding fun with Guitar Hero III

, Nov 12th 2007 Discuss [1]

RedOctane was kind enough to send us the newest entry to their Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero III. After many hours of co-op, boss battles and blisters, I can say that Guitar Hero III fills my music infused video game fix more than Dance Dance Revolution ever could.

Gamerator

, Nov 4th 2007 Discuss [0]

Ahh, my two favorite things to do in my spare time have finally been combined. You see, I enjoy playing video games, I also enjoy drinking beer, I have found my holy grail. The Gamerator is your standard run of the mill MAME cabinet with a 24-inch flat screen monitor. But alas, there is a very important and worthy upgrade, it will chill and serve up the contents of a pony keg. Read The Full Story

Big Button Xbox 360 Controller

, Nov 4th 2007 Discuss [0]

So we all knew it was coming, but the “Big Button” controllers that come with the Scene-It video game have finally arrived. The big buttons are colored the same as the standard four buttons from the Xbox 360 controllers and then those same 4 buttons are vertically aligned below the big button. There is also the Xbox gem and a “Start” and “Back” button on each controller. The big button is obviously to claim you have the answer, kind of like a buzzer, and then the other four are for selecting your answer. Read The Full Story

Robo Hopper looks like ASIMO with helicopter attachment

, Oct 21st 2007 Discuss [0]

No really, it does. In fact, I like the idea, so get to work Honda. It comes pre-built and sits at 15.9cm tall. Its controlled by a 2.4GHz band controller that kind of resembles an Xbox (the original one) controller, but with just the two joysticks on it. Read The Full Story

Target gets a special Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock bundle

, Oct 19th 2007 Discuss [8]

It has the game, and two controllers. Not one, but two, that means if you keep bumming one off your friend because you are too cheap to buy the game and your own controller, you can get this bundle at a savings of about $20 and have two. That $20 savings isn’t off of the regular package price, as this package will cost you $109.99, but that’s about $20 less than the normal one guitar/game package and a second separate guitar. Me myself and I, I bought GH2 for my 360 before I went and bought a used PS2, so I think if I buy anything GH or RB related it will have to be for that system. Read The Full Story

Sony releases new PlayStation 3 stuff in Japan

, Oct 9th 2007 Discuss [0]

First off, and least important, they get the new 40GB PS3 model. Now for the good stuff, a ceramic white PS3 with matching controller and Dual Shock 3 controllers. I think the 40GB will be the one available in white and the matching controller will be a regular SIXAXIS but it will be the same white. However Sony is also looking to phase out the 60GB and 20GB models, so they are bundling them with Spiderman 3 for the holidays, the 40GB also gets this bundle. Read The Full Story

Cubicle Must Have: miniature Mario and Luigi Golf game

, Oct 5th 2007 Discuss [0]

It has two close-to-the-original Nintendo NES controllers that control the little putters. They are each 3” tall, and have clubs in their hands. It’s a wired game, but there is a little disk that represents the hole and there are some little golf balls so it’s a decent little desktop game. All you need is a couple AAA batteries to power them.

Manhunt 2 is cause for bloody Wii

, Oct 4th 2007 Discuss [1]

In today’s crazy world its getting harder and harder to find a gaming system for the serial killer inside you. Rockstar games on the other hand have a contest to promote a game that will bring that serial killer in you out. The best part, the prize is a blood-soaked Nintendo Wii with equally bloody controllers. They are motion sensitive too, so you can go ahead and start practicing your preferred stabbing motions now. The blood is actually just a really cool sticker kit, and I want one, both a Wii and the sticker kit, I’d take one of those sticker kits for my 360 for sure. Read The Full Story

Sony insist on keeping last-gen rumble tech in new Dual Shock 3 controller

, Oct 3rd 2007 Discuss [2]

A slew of PS3 gamers who rely on vibrating controllers to excite them in ways other human beings never could breathed a sigh of relief late last month, when Sony announced the Dual Shock 3 complete with Immersions' ubiquitous rumble technology.  Thing is, over at Immersion they're apparently feeling a bit confused; in an interview with GameDaily company CEO Vic Viegas describes the exciting new single-motor implementation they've developed... and the old-fashioned dual-motor setup Sony are persisting in using even in their next-gen controller.   Read The Full Story
