Setting up the Hauppauge HD PVR with Total Media Extreme 2
Hauppauge have been in the PC-based video capture business for years. With a wide variety of products, they have always provided a device to capture the latest video standards at a consumer-level price point. The software side has tended to be a bit of a mine-field though, and the HD PVR is no exception to this. Hopefully this guide will lessen the pain for anyone who just wants to record some beastly gameplay from their HD games console. Continue reading
Review: ORB Thumb Grips for Xbox 360
I recently picked up the Black Ops branded Madcatz PrecisionAim Xbox 360 Controller and found the thumbsticks to be very slippery. They don’t feature any rubberised grip at all.
A pack of these did just the trick. Continue reading
Turtle Beach PX5 – Review
The combination of videogame consoles and headsets has existed ever since the Sega Mega Drive landed in 1989. Bringing alongside its jaw droppingly beautiful 16-Bit graphics was full stereo sound, but only if you plugged in a set of £2.99 headphones from OurPrice. Times have changed, and the £2.99 headset now requires you to move the … Continue reading

Nyko Zoom Allows Kinect to Work in Smaller Spaces
Not fortunate enough to live in the 10ft x 10ft clear box that is required to play Kinect, neither are we, so Nyko have come up with a little lens adapter that should allow mere mortals to experience what Kinect has to offer without bringing in the furniture removers.
Nintendo Wii U can’t be serious
The much rumoured Wii 2/Project Cafe has finally been unveiled and whilst the console itself looks much like a white Xbox 360, the infamous screen controller has been revealed. That’s right, it’s a sodding £200 Etch A Sketch with dual analogue sticks and a couple of buttons. I mean really….. even the Photoshop monkeys would not have dreamt to … Continue reading
Konami X-Men Arcade and Bad Company 2 For iOS Devices
Crumbs! The App store launched these 2 little gems yesterday. Firstly a port of the 1992 side-scroller X-Men, the arcade and then, the slightly more contemporary addition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Now I haven’t tested either of these first hand but from the looks of it, they’ll both be great if you know what … Continue reading

More D in your 3DS?
It looks like those crazy cats at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, you may have heard of it…..) are working on a new method of creating that glasses-free 3D goodness we all know and love. The word on the internet street is that it’s called HR3d (High Rank 3D) and allows a clearer, brighter and … Continue reading
Wii2: Does it really look like this and have they REALLY called it Stream?
Right about the time I finally stopped laughing at the “revelation” that Nintendo’s next foray into the console world would be officially dubbed the Stream (like the truly puerile person that I am), Nintendo themselves finally confirmed what most of the developed world already knew: that they would be unveiling the Wii’s successor at E3. And … Continue reading
Project Cafe: Will Wii2 blow everyone’s minds?
I own a Wii. Problem is, I haven’t turned it on a while. It was fun for a while, and it does honestly have some great exclusive titles on it, especially for anyone who grew up with a SNES. But in a world where people are already starting to look beyond HD, and multi-platform titles … Continue reading

Motorola Xoom- First opinions
Just had a play with one of these. Overall, pretty damn good. Compared to the iPad 2? Faster, more responsive, sleeker, more grown up buttons, proper keyboard with a TAB key, MUCH greater browser functionality (including ‘incognito mode….) equal video and camera capabilities but with the added versatility of Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).
Nintendo 3DS: First Thoughts: Review
WOW!!!!! After waiting for what felt like an eternity, the 3DS finally has arrived. Having decided not to jump into the 3D space until this point, I have been somewhat sceptical of the potential that 3D could bring video games, and entertainment in general. Having sat through Avatar, UP and several other 3D films at … Continue reading
