General Accessories

One thing I will always appreciate the Nintendo Wii for is that it brought 'light gun games' back. While they never disappeared, having appeared on every major platform since the original NES, the Wii, I feel, is a big reason that such 'point and click' shooter games have made a nice comeback this generation. That trend then is surely to continue with Sony's motion controller, the Move. Interworks Unlimited has just released their Precision Shot 3, an accessory that allows you to attach a Move Remote and Navigation Controller for some serious gunning action.

If you have a PlayStation Move, there is a pretty reasonable chance that you also have Sports Champions, Sony's popular pack-in title not unlike Wii Sports that originally shipped with the Wii. This Move-only game features gladiator dueling, table tennis, archery, and a couple of other sports. Looking to capitalize on the launch of the Move, as did many accessory makers with the Wii (to this day), is Interworks Unlimited with their Champions Pack. This pack of accessories includes a shield, sword, bow, and table tennis paddle to, ideally, enhance the Sports Champions experience.

If you are a PC gamer who would like to use a keyboard and mouse on your PS3 but haven't found a good method to do that, you should consider the Eagle Eye from Penguin United. This $60 device acts as a gateway between your USB keyboard and mouse and the PS3, and offers a few other compelling functions as well. Let's take a closer look.

When the Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 came in for review I thought to myself, "I've seen this type of thing before and it usually doesn't work out." The day of the padded headset was nearly up with the emergence of earbuds and what not. Not to mention a slew of bluetooth headphones out there that had just gotten better each year. Why in the world would someone need a USB/RF based headset?

Computer hardware is always evolving, and the keyboard and mouse are no exceptions. Today Logitech is announcing a brand new gaming grade keyboard (the G510) and mouse (G700). We were pleased to receive the G700 Gaming Mouse in for review and have spent several days with it putting it through its paces. Primarily aimed at MMO gamers, thanks to thirteen configurable buttons, multiple profiles, and a comfort level that welcomes long gaming sessions, the G700 stands to compete against the likes of the Razer Naga and SteelSeries WoW mice.

For many years it was difficult playing games in my office. My place is filled to the brim with old systems and technology and the only saving grace was my new iMac. As you may know, and most of you joke about, Macs aren't exactly the game friendly type of computer. For example, one year I told a close colleague of mine that Halo 2 had just been released for mac. His response was, "Ha! I guess they filled their one game quota for the year." He's a bastard.

Hyperkin is back with an update to their previous retro gaming system that put two the power of two old school systems into a single console. This time, as the name suggests, the RetroN3 packs three systems -- an NES, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo -- into a single, convenient console. Cartridges take up enough room, so being able to have all three systems combined into one is a pretty enticing idea. But, the system isn't without some faults -- let's take a closer look at the RetroN3.

A couple of weeks ago we received a very mysteries box from a company that we didn't recognize (Performance Designed Products).  Being the overworked idiots that we were, mainly because we couldn't put PDP together from that name, we opened the large, heavy box to pull out a gigantic metal case. Inside that metal case was a glowing heaven of 'Christmas-light' wonder. It contained an assortment of gaming controllers that were wonderfully glowing in our faces. Were we wowed? Hell yes we were. Is this the best presentation we've ever gotten via FedEx? Yes, it was. More importantly, was this just a cheap stunt to make us love the product instantly? You could argue that question, but regardless it was one of the coolest boxes we've opened this year.
