Logitech-G700s

When I reviewed the G500s Gaming Mouse, I may have overstretched the idea that it would be the last gaming mouse you'd ever need. It's a fantastic little guy with tons of bell and whistles to meet almost any of you gaming needs; however, it does have one slight downside -- it's still wired. However, Logitech has your back with the G700s Rechargeable Wireless Gaming Mouse!

Over the last several months I've gotten back into PC gaming, and as such, I've been on the market for some peripherals to replace my aging gear.

I'm at a crossroads here. On the one hand, these custom Mega Man themed controllers are pretty awesome and I feel I should share them with you. On the other hand, I want them for myself and for every new person that sees this post, is another potential threat against me owning these. At any rate, you and me and every other mega-fan have 5 days left to bid.

Pro gaming peripheral maker, Razer, occasionally dabbles in branded merch. More often, these new peripherals are a recolored version of an existing product. If showing off your love for a particular game or franchise is your thing, then this League of Legends Naga Hex should fit the bill quite nicely.

Not too much has changed from Charles' original review but if you're still looking for a way to prove your video game mastery via video, the HD PVR 2 1512 is a solid choice for cost-conscience customers. With minimal installation time, you'll soon have dozens of neat video packages to show off on YouTube or even burned to disc.

The whole package comes with everything you need- the PVR box, HDMI and component cables, and editing software. Set up isn't too tricky with clear visual guides for even the thickest of heads, as most of the work comes from figuring out which cord goes where and then installing the latest capturing software patches to your PC. The one downside is that there isn't first party software for you Mac users out there. However, if you go to Hauppauge's site there's a list of 3rd party solutions at a reasonable cost. Fortunately, I have a PC so I can't vouch for the effectiveness of these apps but I hear they work well enough.

Razer seems to always have a newer, better, more responsive controller just behind a curtain and the latest product from their testing lab proves to be a great addition to anyone seeking a competitive edge- for a price. Titled "Sabertooth," it iterates on the "Onza" in a few useful ways while also providing several mappable buttons for a customized playing interface for many of your gaming needs. It's a neat controller but is it worth a buy? Find out after the jump.

My very first lunchtime video has me trying Nvidia's new GeForce 3D Vision glasses which are used to bring your favorite games into three dimensions. See how it looks on me (and please excuse the "ums").

Searching through a stock photo database for pictures from the Consumer Electronics Show this past week in Las Vegas, we found that 3D glasses were all the rage, especially when playing "Guitar Hero." Take a look. Read More...

When I received my full band game copy of "Guitar Hero: World Tour" earlier this month, my drum controller had sensitivity issues.

I had to hit the red pad on my kit really hard for it to register, but in doing that, I would fire off the yellow pad (the cymbal) at the same time. As you can imagine, this didn't make for a good score or streak.

I wasn't the only one who had this problem. Other players, on multiple platforms, had complaints that their drum controllers were either too sensitive or not sensitive enough -- or both. Activision promptly released a drum tuning kit, a 10MB PC application that lets players assign a sensitivity level to each pad on the drum controller. While the tuning kit is easy to install and has a simple interface, you need a midi-to-USB cable to hook up your controller to a PC.

Consumers can submit their information to Red Octane and receive the midi-to-USB cable. About a week after I requested one, I got it in the mail and was able to try the drum tuning kit.

Here's how it went: Read More...
