Saitek Cyborg Evo Force Joystick @ ThinkComputers.org
Think Computers :: Monday, December 05, 2005
Quote: “Professional Joysticks have advanced pretty far since the days of the Atari joystick, some of you may be too young to remember them, but they had a square base, 1 button and a short stick coming out of the middle. None of the stuff you see on today’s joysticks, and game pads were non-existent, unless you count the pads that came with Intellivision, I guess that was sort of a game pad. Today’s joysticks are pretty complicated, especially the high-end ones, with many buttons and customizations available to the professional gamer. Saitek is one of the companies that specialize in professional joysticks and game pads. Today for review I have the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force joystick. It could be considered a professional joystick for the hardcore gamer or enthusiast. It features many buttons and customizations, and has the force feedback feature as well.”

DH Review: Serious Sam 2 (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Monday, December 05, 2005
Serious Sam: The First Encounter was a smash hit for the PC back in 2001 because it was a straightforward, intense, and downright enjoyable shooter. Instead of worrying about delivering a deep plot or trying to impress the audience with state-of-the-art visuals, First Encounter offered gamers a lot of killing without a hefty price tag. Four years later, the developers at Croteam have the next title in the Serious Sam universe ready to go, cleverly entitled Serious Sam II. Sam Stone is back in action with a whole bunch of new weapons to fire, environments to explore, and baddies to be destroyed.
Illinois Videogame Law Ruled Unconstitutional
Primo Tech :: Monday, December 05, 2005
District Court Judge Matthew Kennelly ruled late on Friday that Illinois’ recently enacted restrictions on the sale of videogames deemed harmful to minors are unconstitutional and that the state is barred from enforcing the law..As Judge Kennelly so concisely put it: “In this country, the state lacks the authority to ban protected speech on the ground that it affects the listener’s or observer’s thoughts and attitudes.” In doing so, the Judge confirmed yet again that videogames are protected under the First Amendment and deserve treatment no different than film and literature.
Microsoft Xbox 360 @ Viperlair
ViperLair :: Monday, December 05, 2005
“There are three IBM PowerPC-based processors, each clocked at 3.2GHz and capable of handling 2 hardware threads each. The processors are each armed with 1MB of L2 cache and within the Xbox, operate as symmetrical cores. What this means basically is that the Xbox 360 is capable of executing 6 hardware threads simultaneously. While the launch titles currently available will not require that much power, future titles certainly may.”
GUN (XBox 360 , PC) Review @ Gaming Illustrated
Gaming Illustrated :: Monday, December 05, 2005
Snippet : GUN is a showcase title for Xbox 360 and is highly recommended as the game of choice if you’re lucky enough to be picking up the 360 this holiday season, or you can just get the game on another platform and still be amazed. The graphics, sound, and gameplay all add up to an amazing gaming experience that is fueled by a well crafted story.
Call of Duty 2: The Big Red One
Gaming Illustrated :: Monday, December 05, 2005
Snippet : Call of Duty 2: The Big Red One is an immersive and cinematic game featuring a storyline plenty of action enough to spare. The Big Red One is a separate game that marks what will likely be a final (and worthy) appearance by the series on this generation of consoles.

Quake 4—Activision
Home Theater Magazine :: Sunday, December 04, 2005
Ah, the vaunted Quake series. In 1996 id Software brought forth a revolution in gaming with the original Quake . While all other first-person shooters were mucking around with 2-D sprites in a 3-D world, id launched us into the world of full 3-D. That wasn’t all. The game itself-and it’s frenzied multiplayer-were simply amazing. A year later, Quake II pushed what we expect of graphics in a game even further. Once again, id was the king of the world. Then, well…then there was Quake III: Arena . It was pretty looking but was only a multiplayer game. Kind of a let down. Then there was nothing. In 2004, id resurfaced with another attempt at revolutionizing the FPS with Doom 3. In addition to their now-normal fast action and beautiful graphics, they added fear. Like a bad horror movie, things would jump out at you in the dark. Cheap scares are just that. Hey, some people liked it. Using the Doom 3 engine, Raven Software has developed the next chapter in the Quake series: Quake 4. (I guess “IV” was too confusing.)
Half of Mario Kart DS Owners Try Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi Net News :: Sunday, December 04, 2005
The folks at Nintendo report 45 percent of owners of this Internet-enabled game have used it over Wi-Fi hotspots: The company struck international deals to allow free usage by Nintendo DS owners of networks like those at McDonald’s (U.S.) and run by The Cloud in the UK. They sold 112,000 copies of Mario Kart DS up until last Sunday; 52,000 unique users (who are identified by a code in the DS player) used one of these Wi-Fi Connection locations. Two more games are in the pipe for Dec. 5 and March 20 release.
