Logitech ChillStream Gamepad for PC (963435-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So this controller looked pretty sweet to me so I bought it over a rumble pad. I liked the idea of fans for wicking away sweat, as I tend to get pretty white knuckled on my controllers. I bought this controller specifically for Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PC, and it works like a dream. I also like the X-Box controller layout (offset anolog sticks and more ergonomic) than the PS2 style controller that is the Logitech Rumble pad. It also has better grips than a PS2 controller.

The only things I think are bad about it are the following:
1. It is not modeled on the large XBox controller, but rather the regular one, which is ok for most people, but I have big hands and I get a bit cramped up if I play for way too long.
2. I was slightly dissapointed with the lack of custimization software available with this pad. I have a Saitek Cyborg EVO joystick that you can create custom profiles for every game you want to use it with then set that profile before launching the game. This isn't an issue with Battlefront 2 since it has a very excellent in game control configurator, but I could see where if a game didn't have as good an interface (or maybe older games) this pad could suffer in this regard.
3. This isn't so much an issue for me, but I would assume that with a lot of game play and turning on and off of the fan, that the fan motor will likely die sooner than the pad will wear out. I don't care too much, because the fan is more a novelty to me than anything. I will still use it even if it does die.

Overall, a great controller, I actually would give it a 4.5 rating, but that isn't an option here.

NASCAR Kart Racing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In last few years, this is the only good kart game that is not developed by Nintendo. Perfect blend of Nascar and Kart racing. The game includes a wide set of teams and drivers. Developers have done justification for both Kart racing and Nascar. Just only one oval track, rest of them are kart styled ones. The game from out side may look like a poor mans Mario Kart, it is not. Similar to actual Nascar bump drafting, you can get a power boost by following another car closely.

You will get very good mileage too. There is 12 tracks, all bi-directional. All of them are well suited for multi-player modes. It includes a wide assortment of multi-player modes too. The controls are perfect, I am very amazed by the accuracy. You can use your wheel or just regular controller set to play the game. Graphics are in par with Mario Kart. This is better than all the other nascar games that EA has published, a welcome change.
