Xbox360 Fighting Stick EX 2 - Soul Calibur 4 Limited Edition Review

Xbox360 Fighting Stick EX 2 - Soul Calibur 4 Limited Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this joystick so I could really enjoy the arcade feel of playing fighting games as well as the Xbox Live Arcade games I own. The description for the product isn't that great so I thought I would provide some more information on this product.The stick itself feels pretty responsive although it does make a clicking noise when it is pressed against the edges. I'm assuming that was done to let the player know they are successfully pulling off motions. I personally don't mind it, especially with the game volume on.

The joystick is indeed wired but it is very long so I don't see it being an issue for most people. Wireless would of been nice but I guess at least this way you have zero chance of losing a signal in a heated match (although I've never lost a signal with my normal 360 controller).The cord does have a release in case you tug too hard on it just like the older Xbox controllers. You connect the joystick via USB (flap by power button on console).

The joystick itself feels pretty sturdy and is responsive. It does not include any special features such as slow motion or turbo in case that's your thing(like the old school NES Advantage). The only reason that I have not given this joystick a full 5 rating is because the joystick is not compatible with a lot of non-fighting games. The stick is mapped to the directional pad anddoes not support Analog control. What this means is you can't use it for most other non-fighting games like Lost Odyssey that support movement with the analog stick. Not a big deal since I got this stick for fighting games only but I thought everyone should know.

I can't speak to it's long term durability at this time but will probably update this review in a month's time to indicate whether the stick becomes too loose or buttons become non responsive.

*Update: Well, I've been using this joystick for about a month now and it's still good as new.The stick is not loose and the buttons are still very responsive. Overall, a very nicely made joystick.

PS2 Guitar Hero World Tour - Stand Alone Drums Review

PS2 Guitar Hero World Tour - Stand Alone Drums
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the GHWT full band set and those first generation drums were not of the best quality. Although they worked okay at first, they eventually stopped working properly. The bass pedal was plastic, felt flimsy and I damaged the sensor pad inside of it within 2 days.I recently bought the stand alone drums and they seem to be a little bit better. The cymbals seem to be much sturdier. All drum pads and cymbal pads are covered with a nice smooth skin that feels good and sounds a little bit quieter than the original rubber drum pad material. This drum kit is really accurate so far. Its sensitive enough and I haven't had any crosstalk issues yet (crosstalk = when you only hit the orange cymbal, the red pad also registers a hit).

My only complaint is that the same plastic crappy pedal is used in this kit. It doesn't feel too sturdy, but it has withstood a pounding by my fat and heavy size 11's.Red Octane did improve the bass pedal sensor a bit by adding the same skin material as the pads and cymbals. It looks like it is some kind of protective layer for the sensor pad underneath it. I think I am going to buy an upgraded electronic bass pedal so I can feel more comfortable bangin that thing with my fat feet. That will also give me the option to have some double bass action.

The kit comes with some cheap balsa wood drumsticks. I suggest sticking with these sticks, because heavier sticks will probably destroy this set with moderate pounding. I can bang on the set as hard as want with these sticks and because they are so light, I don't feel like I am going to break the set.

Overall, I am satisfied with this new drumset. I have had it for about a week now and it's still working well. I just hope it holds up for a while this time around.

Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander Review

Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I learned of this device from a friend, I had two questions: "Does it work with NovaLogic's "Black Hawk Down" game and "How much does it cost?" TO answer the first question, I contacted NovaLogic and asked them if this device would work with BHD - however, they informed me that BHD was not designed for 'game controllers'. Since this device is NOT a 'game controller (joystick, gamepad, etc) I concluded it would work fine (additionally, my friend also uses his for BHD as well). So I purchased it. As to the cost? Well, that is variable depending on where you get it.
It took me a couple of minutes to install the Commander on my XP system (USB), and I was programming the buttons shortly thereafter. Note: This does *not* replace your mouse or keyboard. It is a great addition to allow you to move your character around, perform things like crouch, jump, reload, lean, roll, hop, go prone, select weapon, emote, etc all from just 6 keys. It comes pre-programmed to allow you to move it forward and sideways to replace the keyboard directional keys (it does not "roll" on the desktop, rather, the top unit 'slides' (Forward, Backwards, Left, Right) on top of the stationary base. It also has a 'twist' function, if you desire that can be programmed as well.
Since it's designed for LEFT hand use, I found it took a short time to get used to it while mousing with my right hand (I keep the mouse for the LOOK functions and scope functions). It feels solid on my desktop and is easy to use. It does not slide around due to the rubber feet.
You can 'record' and program keyboard shortcuts on the fly (with the RECORD button), oryou can use the interface program to program your buttons. Each button has a function along with three "shift" functions (the shift button is beneath your thumb). All told, it will handle up to 72 keyboard (macro) commands (arrows, scroll lock, etc) so you do not have to take your hand off the controller to do in-game functions. NOTE: This is not a "CHEAT" - it just allows you to move your hand faster and not lose your concentration. (You can also program multiple keyboard combinations as well as a one-button 'macro')
All in all, it's worth the money. You can switch from 3 profiles on the fly - and you can save and load mappings as well. For instance, you can have one profile as a gunner, one for a medic, one for a sniper, etc.
As it works well with BHD, I'd expect the same to be true for "Battlefield: 1942" and other 3D combat games. It comes with profiles for about 30 other games (2D strategy games like Ages of Empires, etc).
Retail price for this is about $60 (and I could never find one locally) but you can find it online for much less (probably less than half of the MSR price - I got mine for about $21 + shipping).I've been using mine for several days and I'm very happy with it. It definitely enhances the game.

Sony DVD - Remote control - infrared Review

Sony DVD - Remote control - infrared
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This remote control converts a Play Station 2 console into a full-featured DVD player.It does this in two ways.First, it improves upon the existing PS2 DVD Player software.For my unit, the version of DVD player jumped from 1.30U to 2.10U.Second, it provides a wireless remote control with every function you could want plus a few.
The package ships with an instruction manual, the DVD Player 2.1 disk, two AAA batteries, a small stub IR receiver.The first disappointment is that the receiver is NOT a passthrough.Fortunately, it is designed to fit the second controller slot.Swapping the stub for a controller is only an issue then for two player games.
The remote control has some other disappointments.The DVD Player 2.1 software, essentially a firmware update, installs on a memory card and consumes a lot of real estate in the process.It only works with memory slot 1 and the entire copy takes 2.2MB, a quarter of the card's capacity.In an era where the most basic computer devices are all 'flashable,' it's a mystery why Sony didn't keep a more careful eye on future revisions.After all, I have flashed my computer motherboard, DVD player, and home network equipment with firmware updates.All of these devices carried some fashion EPROM (electronically programmable memory).And they all sold for less than a Sony Playstation, so it's hard to blame this short sitedness on cost.It's a mystery why Sony didn't forsee a similar eprom need in their console (read poor planning).Instead of flashing an internal chip then, Sony forces us to copy a new copy to a memory card, making the existing ROM so much silicon gathering dust.The DVD Player 2.1 software can be manipulated just like any other saved game.You can delete and copy it back at will.The remote will work without it too, although without the software to support it most buttons won't work as advertised.
Luckily, the improvements are significant and probably offset the disappointments enough to make this a good purchase.The new remote control and player software are feature rich adding many needed improvements to the DVD playback on the PS2.The most anticipated difference for me was the multi-speed scan.With the new player, it is now possible to scan through a DVD at 2x 4x and 8x speeds.The next best feature is an actual time clock, showing chapter progress time, remaining time, feature progress time and remaining time.The original player only showed chapter stops.Sonylayed out the DVD remote buttons in a logical and clear fashion.It includes every button you could want in a decent arrangement.Even chapter selection is there.The remote is a hybrid, including all of the shock controller buttons with the exception of only the analog sticks.It's nice - it rivals any other DVD remote.I read one review that said you could control power with this remote.This is not true.There is no labeled on/off button nor does the manual mention it. Other esoteric features are repeat (is this for a video store?) and shuffle (?), which are questionable even for concert DVDs.Maybe someone out there can find purpose to them.
I've never had any trouble with DVD playback having successfully watched dozens of titles on the PS2 now.Other people have complained about incompatible DVDs in the past.The new player software may address these issues.Sony claims this unit is compatible with any disk stamped with the DVD logo.I'm guessing it's a region 1 player and not region free, although I can't verify this for sure.I'm sure a hack is on its way if not already available.
Overall, it's a good purchase.The $20 ranks it among the cheapest accessories.It does it's job very well and transforms the console into a decent DVD player.But the real complaint, the one that ranks it at four stars, is that Sony didn't get it right the first time.Perhaps they underestimated the demand for DVD playback.I'm convinced it won't be long before some electronics genius burns the player to a ROM and sells it as a 'mod chip.'Until then, Sony is the only act in town that can provide these improvements.Actually, there's probably a way to distribute the new player via a Game Shark.Legality is at stake of course.
Bottom line: if a remote is a must have, this is the only one to consider.

Functionality of these buttons remains unchanged.The new DVD remote will not be compatible with PlayStation 2 consoles having model numbers beginning with SCPH-30xxx, SCPH-35xxx, or SCPH-39xxx unless you already have an IR receiver (SCPH-10160). For PlayStation 2 console model numbers SCPH-30001 and SCPH-35001, you will need a copy of the DVD remote control software disc and a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2).

Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard Review

Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I owned the older version of this key board for a couple years (it still works by the way I just like new keyboards every couple years). The main difference between this one and the old one, is that this one has lighted keys. I gotta say, I am really glad I upgraded to the lighted model. I write at night, and sometimes I just hate turning on the room lights. The lighted keys are especially useful for web browsing or some other mouse-heavy activity that requires you to re-orient yourself to type... typically my eyes are adjusted to the bright screen and I can't really see the key board at night. The illuminated keys allow me to re-orient to the keyboard with a glance.
The keyboard is solid, tight, and nice to write on. It is evenly lit and has that nice new keyboard sound. :)

Also, the keyboard has two USB ports, as well as microphone /headphone jacks. These are conveniently located on the back of the unit so the cables are easy to reach, but won't interfere with the operation of the keyboard. The USB ports work great. My headset uses the USB ports so I cannot address the utility of the mic/headphone jacks, but it should keep many people from stringing headset wires all over--especially if you do not have easily accessible jacks on your computer.
It is easy to switch key-illumination colors/intensity with a small button near the F1-F2 keys.

One reviewer mentioned that this keyboard's keys must be closer together than others because he found it awkward to type. I found that the width of the keyboard is (backspace to ~) is the same width as the one that originally came with my PC from Dell. However, I also noticed a slight awkwardness when I first started using this type of keyboard several years ago... I suspect it comes from positioning myself in the middle of the keyboard--which is not the middle of the typing keys. The functional gaming keys on the left side cause you to be a little off center from your usual typing orientation if you center the whole system to your body. You will get used to this over time, or you can take care to orient yourself to the typing keys. If you write much, you will find you naturally adapt to this keyboard rapidly.

There is one more thing: the keyboard is wider than a standard keyboard. This was necessary to add the functional keys on the left side while keeping everything else standard-sized. This could affect how you store your keyboard if you have a slide-out keyboard drawer on your desk. I have a standard-sized keyboard drawer and it works great for typing--the size is fine for supporting the over-sized keyboard and typing. But the keyboard is too wide to just slide into the desk. You will need to rotate the keyboard about 45 degrees to stow it in the desk's keyboard drawer. For many of us this is no big deal, but some people may want to know this ahead of time.

I am very please with this keyboard.

Creative Labs EF0210 Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset with Sound Blaster X-Fi Technology (Black) Review

Creative Labs EF0210 Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset with Sound Blaster X-Fi Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me start by saying I am a hardcore mmo player. Anyone else who plays mmo's know that large guilds communicate through voice chat programs like Ventrillo (and similar). I myself use mostly ventrillo these days anymore. The testing that I did with this device was largely with guild mates of mine telling me how it sounds and how it performed from their end hearing me.

Right after I installed the software I tested these out on ventrillo. With literally zero tweaking time.. they sounded perfect. My voice was very loud and extremely clear. The music sounded great in the headphones. What more could I ask for.. they were trouble free! The best part was the microphone didn't need to be shoved against my lips for people to hear me speak. I have bought wired usb headsets in the past that required the mic to be so close it was annoying to use. This you can keep the mic 2-3 inches away from your mouth and it still sounds loud and clear (great little mic on this headset)

My only annoyance with these headphones is the tight headband. I have been told before I have a big head, but I thought they were being sarcastic! I am joking of course but they do fit snug and almost hurt a bit after a little while of use (*laughing* and I am pretty sure I have a normal size head!). Perhaps over time these headphones will loosen up and get more comfortable. I did of course try to outwardly flex the headband to loosen it but its all plastic so it didn't really work like it would have if it was metal. I still gave this product a 5 star rating, but I would knock off a 1/2 star for this tightness if I could.

The little microphone plugs in and out of the headphones in case you want to use these as pure headphones. I also assume if the mic boom ever fails over time you could more easily replace it being that its designed like this (I have had wires fail inside of headphone mic booms from years of over bending, so this is handy to be able to replace it so easily).

Lastly, these are "on ear" headphones .. not "around ear" headphones. So you will feel them sitting on top of your ear not go wide around the outside of your ears. The internet is hard to judge the sizes of products for things like this so I just wanted to let people know what to expect. The felt pad on headphones ear muffs are very soft and well cushioned so this shouldn't be a problem of comfort with most users.

Overall I am very pleased with this product. When I want to use a great working/great sounding plug and play headset I am now grabbing this for some long gaming sessions.

Xbox 360 64MB Memory Unit Review

Xbox 360 64MB Memory Unit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Core system and needed a memory unit to save my games as the Core system does not come with any memory saving hardware.I decided to purchase this memory unit because of the lower price compared to the hard drive.The unit is stated to hold 64MB worth of storage (in reality the card offers a bit less than the stated 64MB, but it is fine because this is normal).

The Xbox 360 64MB Memory Unit comes with a plastic keychain snap case, a folded instructions/warning sheet, and about a dozen glossy-white label stickers.The unit goes along well with any Xbox 360 system as the color and texture quality matches that of the Xbox 360 systems (particularly that of the original faceplates).

The unit is capable of saving a great deal of games.A massive game such as Oblivion may have a save file size of up to 1MB; using the 64MB memory unit, there will be a lot of remaining storage space for other games.

To connect to Xbox Live or Xbox Live Marketplace, any user with a 360 will need a memory unit or the detachable hard drive to setup a gamer profile.Once a gamer profile is setup, any user can connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace for downloadable content.When the Xbox 360 system is connected to Xbox Live, any updates available for the Xbox 360 system can be downloaded and applied immediately.As I recall, the system updates did not take up a lot of space (I believe they were less than 1MB).

Once connected to Xbox Live Marketplace, users can download a variety of content from movie trailers to game demos.Unfortunately due to the small amount of storage space available on the memory unit, users are limited to downloads based on file size.Xbox 360 game demos average around 700MB and HD content are often more than 100MB, making it impossible to download and view/run any type of demo or HD content with a 64MB memory unit.However, any of the non-HD, 480p content and short clips are downloadable as they require less storage space.

This memory unit is great for those who need a quick fix or require no more than bare minimal support for playing their Xbox 360 games.In the long-run I highly recommend users to skip this product and suggest the purchase of the detachable hard drive instead.The hard drive, as often cheered in the reviews, will offer a lot more function and flexibility for any Xbox 360 Core owner.For example, with a hard drive, users have the ability to play original Xbox titles, the capability of downloading larger file content such as game demos, HD movies and trailers, customizable content, and much more.So depending on which product will serve you best, you decide.

Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera Review

Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This camera is available in two packages - this is the basic package and comes with the Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera, a headset that you probably already have, and a code redeemable on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the game UNO (which supports the camera in online play) and also 1 month of Xbox Live Gold service.

Note that the official press releases mentioned the game Totemball being included. It is NOT included, but you can now download it for free from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The camera itself is very nice. It's very small and has a focus ring on the front. The quality of video and still pictures is great. It's easy to install, you just plug it into your Xbox in the front or back USB port and you're good to go. You can also use it as a regular webcam with your PC. It currently does not work with Macs but Mac support is promised soon from Microsoft as their press release claims Mac support.

Overall it's a nice little piece of equipment. It just depends on whether you want a webcam or not! Video chat is a nice feature if you have friends or family with an Xbox 360. Also, future games will support mapping your face onto your on-screen character which will be fun. Games like Totemball will be played by actually moving your arms and body around in front of the camera. So it does open up a lot of opportunities for new experiences with your Xbox.

Parents worried about kids: when playing camera-enabled games you will see other people's video whether you have the camera or not, so buying this camera doesn't make any difference to what they will see. You can disable looking at other people's video for all the games.

XCM Cross Battle adapter plus RUMBLE Review

XCM Cross Battle adapter plus RUMBLE
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, I loathe the dualshock design and have ever since it was tacked on to the original playstation controllers.I also have hand/arm "issues" (medical in nature) that make gaming on the PS3 uncomfortable to be polite.

This product is easy to use.Turn on your PS3, plug this device into the PS3, plug a wired 360 controller into the device and you're ready to go.It's that simple.If you love the 360 design, this is a wonderful thing.

There are a few drawbacks, however.

One is that you actually need the wired 360 controller.

Another is that while in use the green LEDs (that signal what player you are) all flash while in use.

Also, there is no motion sensing for any game that may require it (I recommend the Nyko Zero to solve this).

Next, this adapter will not work with PS2 games played on the PS3 (if you have a BC model of PS3).

Finally, this item would have really benefited from a way to assign controller functions.As is, you are still forced to use the bumpers for firing in some games such as first person shooters.I see this as a design flaw in the dualshock 3 design where even devlopers have tried to accomodate for the less-than-adequate, and slippage-prone L2/R2 "trigger."Unfortunately, the Cross Battle adapter cannot compensate for this unless the options are available in-game.

Playstation 3 HORI PAD 3 Turbo Wireless - Silver Review

Playstation 3 HORI PAD 3 Turbo Wireless - Silver
Average Reviews:

So my first impression of this controller was that it feels cheap.The plastic housing just feels light and cheap, not at all like the Sony controller.

This unit also doesn't include bluetooth, so you loose the ability to power on your PS3 like you have on the normal controller.

It works a lot like the PS2 wireless controllers in that you plug in a USB wireless transmitter into the PS3 and play through that.

It does have several nice options.The turbo selector allows 3 different rates of fire, along with the option to have auto fire where you don't even have to press the button.That is a great option for any shooter.There is also a sensitivity adjustment for the analog control sticks.I also really like that it uses AA batteries since I have a good supply of rechargeable batteries.

But my first big issue is that it doesn't appear to work on PS2 or PS1 games.Pretty much any time the PS3 does the soft reset to start those games the controller looses sync.It works just fine with any game that doesn't involve that reset (PS3 games, or anything downloaded from PSN).

So if you just need a turbo controller for PS3 or PSN games, this is about your only choice.But don't expect to use it on any of your older games.Since this does everything but older games and feels cheap, I had to give it 4 stars.It's good, but not perfect.
