Rosewill Wii Sports Kit Review
Think Gaming :: Wednesday, November 21, 2007
“The Nintendo Wii has to be one of the most revolutionary console gaming systems of all time. It proved that graphics are not always as important and it lets anyone play games, not just gamers. The Wii comes with Wii Sports, which is tennis, baseball, golf, boxing, and bowling. All of these are fun to play with the Wii remote, but Rosewill has a kit that brings even more reality to the game. The Wii Sports Kit is a set of add-on parts that connect to the Wii remote.”
Gears Of War (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Wednesday, November 21, 2007
Does Emergence Day sound to you like a haughty euphemism for childbirth? Does the phrase “Can’t stop the Train, baby!” hold no irony for you? Even if you’re a stalwart PC-only gamer, it was hard to miss the hype surrounding the release of Epic’s Gears of War on the Xbox 360. If you did happen to be living in a cave – a cave without electricity, even – or were visiting the moon during November of last year, then you had no reason to feel slighted by Epic and Microsoft for not bringing Gears of War to the PC at the same time as the Xbox 360 release. PC gamers on planet Earth, however, likely felt a twinge of hostility toward Epic for withholding a PC release until the Xbox 360 version sold enough copies to buy designer Cliff Bleszinski 24-karat gold pants. When the subject of a Gears of War PC port was first broached with Epic vice president Mark Rein, he initially refused to acknowledge the existence of any such master plan. But as sales of the game quickly approached infinity plus one, Rein’s denial soon turned to cageyness and then to confirmation. Which leads us to today: PC gamers, Emergence Day is nigh. It’s time to tear through some Locust the way nature intended: in high-resolution goodness, with a mouse and a keyboard.
Jericho (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Wednesday, November 21, 2007
Horror author Clive Barker last lent his name and narrative talent to a video game six years ago. The PC-only release, Clive Barker’s Undying, was notably spooky in its delivery, if a bit derivative in gameplay. Recently, Barker took some time off from writing (and from an ongoing slap-fight with film critic Roger Ebert) to work on a new game. For his current spin on the video game merry-go-round, the author teams up with publisher Codemasters and developer Mercury Steam to deliver another horror-themed FPS. That game, Clive Barker’s Jericho, is getting AAA-style treatment, with ports to the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and an ad campaign both in print and on television. With some serious resources behind it, will Jericho match the critical success of Undying?

Assassin’s Creed (Xbox 360)
Primo Technology :: Tuesday, November 20, 2007
To its credit, Ubisoft Montreal has attempted to create a truly unique kind of gaming experience and should be applauded for doing so. But Assassin’s reach ultimately exceeds its grasp. It feels as if the team spent three and a half years constructing the most visually captivating game universe in the history of the industry and then spent the last six months on the actual ‘game’ portion of it. What could have been the year’s most provocative and unique title invariably trips over itself and collides headfirst into a wall.
Review: Saitek P3200 Force Rumble Gamepad
Dragonsteel Mods :: Sunday, November 18, 2007
Not long ago I took a look at the Saitek Cyborg P3600 Gamepad and I found it to be an excellent choice if you were in the market for a new pad, not only is it compatible with any game, but it featured the Cyborg Module that allowed the user to switch the positions of the d-pad and the left analog stick. Today for review I have another Saitek Rumble Gampad, the P3200. The P3200 is essentially a stripped down version of the P3600 Cyborg, but it still offers the same Saitek quality and can be used with pretty much any game out there. The P3200 is a very capable rumble enabled gamepad that most anyone would be happy with.

Crysis review
YouGamers :: Sunday, November 18, 2007
“Crysis is a visual tour-de-force (I’ve been waiting to use that cliché for years). In fact, on the right hardware, the game is nothing short of amazing. Lifelike, almost. PC gamers have reason to smile – we’re quickly approaching an era of real-time visuals which will cause us to guffaw at the quality of CGI which appeared in cinema less than a decade ago. That’s right: the in-game cutscenes in Crysis surpass the quality of computer-animated films from only a few years back (there’s a reason Toy Story was about toys, you know). Of course, the requisite hardware requirements are enough to give sane individuals pause. Then again, we’re not sane – we’re PC gamers.”
