, May 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

I have been a big fan of racing games for years on the PC and the PS3. It's so much more fun to play this sort of game with a racing wheel than a track pad. The problem for me is always trying to find a palace to mount my Logitech racing wheel. It isn’t comfortable use in my lap and the coffee table is just too short. Read The Full Story

Nintendo's Wiimote controller has been given no shortage of attachments and shells to turn it from a wand into a sword, gun or steering wheel, but if you take your first-person shooters seriously then Penguin United have an alternative.  Their CrossFire Pistol eschews janky shells and instead integrates the Wiimote into a new, gun-shaped form factor.

Thrustmaster unveils exclusive Ferrari gamepads

, Sep 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

I am a big fan of exotic cars and if I could pick any car to have, I would want a Ferrari. I love the sound and style of Ferrari automobiles, but considering that the exotic Italian autos cost more than my home I will never own one. Assuming I don't hit the lottery anyway.
