Street Fighter IV Fightpad Review
I got my hands on one of the new Madcatz Street Fighter IV Fightpads. The version I tested was the PlayStation 3 version and I chose that version because its wireless. The Xbox 360 versions are all wired. I noticed no lag whatsoever. And the range was at least 25 feet. These Fightpads currently cannot be used on backwards compatible PS2 games on the Playstation 3 .I also compared the Fightpad to t...[Read More]
PS3 Chatpad Review
The Playstation 3 wireless chat pad attaches to any Sixaxis or Dualshock 3 controller and aims to provide a faster texting experience on the PS3. The chatpad currently retails between $41-$49. Verdict: The chatpad snaps on Sixaxis or Dualshock 3 controllers fairly easy. The attaching mechanism is executed well making it easy to remove from a controller and it is very secure when attached. The XMB ...[Read More]
Mirror’s Edge Review
Mirrors Edge is a game that I almost bought when it dropped a few weeks ago. I had it pre-ordered and everything but made a last minute decision to not buy it based on hearing from a few reviews that the game was too short. After finally beating the game a few days ago I realized that the game is not “short” and that had I bought it I would not have been upset with the purchase. I enjo...[Read More]
Resident Evil 5 Demo Impressions
The Resident Evil 5 demo was very recently released in Japan on the Xbox 360 and I was able to get my mits on it yesterday. I played it for about two hours going through singleplayer, split screen co-op, and online multiplayer modes. The fact that I spent that much time with a demo says a lot in of itself. I think Resident Evil fans will be very happy with what Capcom is developing. The game looks...[Read More]

Review: Sony MDR-RF6000 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones
The What Wireless surround headphones? The last few people that came over my place and saw them sitting on the dock each said exactly that. It doesn’t sound possible or that it would be a gimmick plastered all over the box just to get you to buy it. I saw some online one day and after some Google research I decided on these Sony MDR-RF6000 wireless surround Sound headphones. They cost anywhe...[Read More]
Impressions – Lost Planet: Colonies Edition
Lost Planet is a game that has taunted me every time I visited a Target, BestBuy, or Walmart type store that has a video game section. The Lost Planet is published and developed by Capcom (one of my favorite game companies) so my curiosity regarding whether it’s something I need to play has been there for months. Watching the review of Lost Planet on GameTrailers only confused me more. They ...[Read More]
