23 Jul 2011 - By Omar Mariño

It’s been a while since we did a roundup of good peripheral devices for your smartphone, game consoles, laptops, and other assorted tech gadgets, so let’s get right to it. This time around, we’ll be looking at a mouse that looks more like modern art, a gaming peripheral that’s absolutely ridiculous (and not aimed at the Wii), and some really cool speakers.

This time, we go a little deeper into the gaming world and get into some hardware that will really keep those hardcore gamers happy. First, let’s take a look at Digital Storm’s new monster for gaming PC category: The ODE. Read more >>

Gaming – Razer Chimaera Wireless Gamer Headset Expensive and Ungainly
3 Apr 2011 - By Omar Mariño

This wireless beast of a headset promises “True to Life Gaming”—whatever that is— and freedom from the tyranny of the cord. Unfortunately, the $129 price tag makes it a bit too costly to justify. True, that retail is in line with other headsets on the market but the Chimaera just doesn’t perform as well as it should. Read more >>

Xbox 360 Carrying Cases – GAEMS Gets a Reboot
20 Feb 2011 - By Omar Mariño

We brought you news of the original GAEMS Xbox case a while back because it was a cool idea with some flaws in the execution.  There wasn’t any room for any of the peripherals needed for gaming and the case was a bit bland from a stylistic point of view.  However, this new edition of the GAEMS case seems to have improved (if only marginally) on the original.

Marvel Versus Fighting Pad Just In Time For Marvel / Capcom 3
10 Feb 2011 - By Omar Mariño

This Marvel Versus Fighting Pad looks more like a Super Nintendo controller than it does a modern gaming peripheral but that’s sort of the point.  While the gaming controller has evolved to fit first person shooter style games over the years, folks who prefer fighting games have been left behind.  This gamepad brings it all back into perspective and features redesigned button placement, micro switches on the (single) thumbstick, and some radically over-the-top Marvel graphics.

The Xbox 360 Gets a New Tron Controller . . . Along with Everything Else
18 Dec 2010 - By Omar Mariño

It seems like Tron hysteria has overtaken the world.  Everywhere you look there’s a new Tron related peripheral coming out.  I’ve seen mice (the computer kind), keyboards, watches, and somewhere floating around the Intertnets there’s even a chair.  However, the Microsoft gaming console has seemingly slipped past all of this craziness without getting tainted . . . until now.

Thrustmaster T500RS: Playstation Steering Wheel Controller for Grand Turismo
6 Dec 2010 - By Omar Mariño

Gaming peripherals have been hit or miss for decades.  Some are fun; some are frustrating; and some should never have been made.  Unfortunately, driving wheels tend to fall exclusively into the last category with reviews ranging from awkward to downright dangerous.  Thrustmaster is looking to change all that with their new T500RS driving wheel.  It’s officially licensed for Grand Turismo and promises a few improvements over whatever gaming wheels you might have hiding in your closet.

Thrustmaster is promising unrivaled sensitivity and accuracy (which I’ll have to see to believe) with a system that relies on magnetic sensor technology called HEART technology (HallEffect AccuRate Technology).  There is no word yet or feedback about any special functions other than standard driving controls.

N-Control Avenger Revamps the Xbox 360 Controller
12 Nov 2010 - By Omar Mariño

The N-Avenger looks like some strange hybrid of machine and insect but it promises to revolutionize the way gamers interact with their Xbox 360s.  Well, by revolutionize I mean give them extremely sensitive triggers.  That’s no mean feat when you’re talking about shooter fanatics who need their triggers to be as tricky as those of a real firearm in order to make their gaming experience as realistic as possible.
