We have glasses of every kind to protect our eyes, but do we have any protection while playing video games?

Comfy with quality sound, and useful in more devices than just your PC

A great solution for avid gamers who want to try things a little differently.

Teknocreations InCharge charge station for Wii

Dec. 2, 2008   Leave a Comment  

The InCharge is a great device. It still has the trouble that if you have three or four people in your family it requires two devices, since they only charge two Wiimotes each.

Can this small USB hub add much to your PS3? Yes it can.

Logitech G9 Laser Mouse

With Microsoft and Razer joining forces to produce their Habu mouse, that really leaves two major companies fighting it out in the world of computer mice, specifically hardcore gaming mouses. The Logitech G5 Laser is regarded by many as the best pure gaming mouse on the market, so we decided to take a look at [...]

Nyko Charge Base for 360 and PS3

Oct. 6, 2008   1 Comment  

83053-charge-base2-pak2

These two products are essentially the same, even though they don’t look it and the PlayStation 3 version uses the original internal battery, and 360 version uses a Nyko replacement battery. They’re both meant to give you an externalized recharge of your controllers. I currently have Nyko’s Wii Charge Station, and the PS3 and 360 [...]

E3 2008: We still love NYKO

July 18, 2008   1 Comment  

LOS ANGELES — NYKO was the best peripherals company at E3.

So what if they were the only one there? They rocked. And they had booth babes. In fact, photo credit for the pictures in this story goes directly to a red-wigged girl with piercing eyes.

But enough about my frustrations, back to games. [...]

Nyko Zero Wireless Controller for PS3

May 20, 2008   Leave a Comment  

Nyko beat Sony to the punch in the US with a Wireless Sixaxis controller that also supports rumble. The controller has metal on the top and plastic for the rest of the body. The Metal is touted as a way to keep your hands less sweaty, and cooler. The bad thing about the metal is [...]

SplitFish’s MotionFX

April 3, 2008   Leave a Comment  

While unknown to many gamers, the name SplitFish Gameware is an important piece of the gaming puzzle. Their line of products range from simple adapters, to 3D gaming glasses, to PlayStation 3 controller replacements. Many products out there claim to enhance gameplay, but most turn out to be frivolous gimmicks. More than once, SplitFish’s tech [...]

RetroPort for Wii

Dec. 4, 2007   Leave a Comment  

One of the greatest features on the Nintendo Wii is the Virtual Console, giving players a chance to relive some of the greatest games ever made, including the original Mario Brothers and Zelda games. But try as you might, many people just don’t feel the Wiimote — or even the Gamecube controller — feels right. [...]

Nyko Playstation 3 Dual Charger AC

Nov. 1, 2007   Leave a Comment  

When you turn a PS3 off, it also disconnects the power to the USB ports. This makes me wonder why Sony built the controllers to charge over USB if you can’t charge them with the PS3 off. Personally I always figured the point of having a wireless controller was so I wouldn’t have to plug [...]

Nyko Playstation 3 Blu-ray remote

Nov. 1, 2007   Leave a Comment  

Sony also didn’t put a Infrared Port on the PS3, so to watch BluRay movies it needs to either be controlled by the PS3 controllers, or by the official BlueTooth Controller. There are a few reasons someone might not want to buy the official one, and instead go with Nyko’s remote solution. The Nyko remote [...]

Nyko Charge Station for Wii

June 1, 2007   Leave a Comment  

Nyko released a charge station for the Wii that includes two batteries for the Wii motes, a new battery cover and a base station that can charge both remotes at the same time. Unfortunately the Wii did not come with a rechargeable battery for its remotes. This has, however, created an opportunity for 3rd parties [...]

Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar for Wii

June 1, 2007   Leave a Comment  

For people that may not sit their Wii close to their TV. Nyko’s Sensor bar saves them some trouble. Nyko’s solution is a bar that’s about 4 times the size of the original, and it takes four AA’s. The Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar has a timer on the back. It can be set to remind [...]
