Kinect

  The Kinect is a revolutionary piece f gaming equipment thats been ut for a few months now so I decided to write a review on it.  It uses both body and voice recognition so you can interact with your xbox in ways you never could before. Your body and voice take place of your controller and give you a new way to play video games. All of this is great for kids or people that don't really play video games, but when it comes to the hardcore gamer this stuff is just a gimick that yu shouldn't buy into. Nothing about it is precise enough that it would be feesable for anything other than the family fun type games that they make for it. Plain and simple if you have a young family, you should buy this because you can have a lot of fun with it. But everyone else, save the money and buy some new games. This technology needs a good 10 yrs before its actually useful to us hardcore gamers.

FPS Freak by Kontolfreak

This is the FPS freak, and already I know that you think it's a pointless marketed to those with too much time on their hands and money to burn....  And I think that you are exactly right! What they are designed to do is grant FPS players a higher range of motion making it easier to play on higher sensitivity settings. What I think it does is make the controller bulky and uncomfortable to hold.

The system does accomplish its goal, but it seems to me that you have to "claw grip" the controller for them to be comfortable but I also find that to get in my way more than anything. But if you want think that running a higher sensitivity is what your game is missing then I suggest that you pick up a set. They are rather inexpensive msrp $20 but there is a special running on the website http://www.kontrolfreek.com and they are half price right now from there.
If any of you have tried them or have something to add I would love to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my page!

New Game Ideas!

Today I was reading http://leveling-up.blogspot.com and he described a very interesting take on Inception game idea, and it got me thinking about new game ideas and what the next level is going to be.  I've been playing a lot of Black Ops so my mind went right into that military style game. I starting think about a CoD style RPG that involves you planing some on the field type officer and you are granted choices about how to deal with certain situations. For instance, the Japanese have taken control of a nuclear sub that holds a fusion system that could solve the worlds energy crisis. You obvoiusly can't destroy the sub so how do you get this equipment back to US soil before the Japs seize world power? You would have to develop an infiltration plan gather your team and then take your team on to the battle field and get to the end of the mission. The goal of course being getting that or peace of valuable information back from the enemy safely. Now of course you would have to survive the mission, if you don't you then are transfered in your replacement have have to try to get it back another way or suffer with the consequences of mission failure whatever that might be. The difficulty would be insane and the production value would have to be astronomical to make something like this work, but in the end I can just see the hell I would go through in a game like this and would welcome such a challenge. Please share your ideas with me, I want to see what everyone else has in mind!

First Strike!

As I'm sure most of you know (because we've all been waiting) The First Strike map pack came out last night. Now I don't know baout you guys but I skipped class today and have been BUSY playing this game almost non stop. But I figured I owed a review of it just in case you haven't spent all of your hard-earned Microsoft points on it. It won't take me long to give you a ton of reasons why you should spend those points RIGHT NOW. These maps are even better then the ones in the game. They have created a map to help each gaming style and way to challenge the rushing breed to another level. In maps like discovery the snipers will thrive.Wide open spaces and a bridge that can take out of of the ways into your spawn make it easy to funnel enemies and pin them down. Stadium offers the shot gunners and SMG's a chance to be on top with a concentrated environment that grants those close quarters gunfights you crave. It really does offer new challenges and a different element to an already wonderfully done game, I can only hope that Treyarch and Activision keep up the amazing work.

Turtle Beach X-11 Gaming headset

I've had these for a while now and I really can't imagine playing with out them anymore. I use with all games now, but for FPS titles, you really wouldn't believe the differnce. 1st, you always know where the enemy is because you can hear without a doubt where all the action is taking place. That combined with the ability to communicate with your team, all in the same system makes these a great idea. I know a a lot of gamers that use them and they will tell you the same thing. They are worth the $60, so just go get a pair!
