In fact Microsoft is <u>encouraging</u> people to try and experiment with their software.Microsoft will be releasing a software development kit very soon, this at the time will be for personal only, but i'm sure we will soon have the secrets to the Kinect technology, and if some how they aren't leaked then Microsoft says that they will most likely release a commercial version in due course.<br />Microsoft are doing this because they want people to take the Kinect to new levels, with currently the Kinect being hacked for PC and the <a href="http://eziosgameplaysolutions.blogspot.com/2011/01/xbox360-kinect-helps-with-robotic.html">Kinect being used for surgery</a>.

This is basically saying that they will not be bringing out a new guitar hero, but this is not forever, yes that right guitar hero might come back in the future, but only if Activision sees a gap in the market for it or if their consumers demand it. But I don't think we will be seeing a new guitar hero games for at least 4 years.<br />
It just seems that Guitar Hero is to expensive to make and that is isn't selling well enough for them to make enough profit to go to all the effort of making any new games. Also there have been lots of complaints about the games being unreliable as the guitars, and other equipment, often break and have to be sent off to be fixed.<br />
So looks like it's goodbye Guitar Hero... For now.Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-71396846496401656362011-02-10T21:59:00.000+00:002011-02-10T21:59:24.240+00:00How To Get A Perfect Start To FIFA11 Ultimate Team.This is a short guide on how to get a good start to Fifa11 Ultimate team.<br />
Fifa11 Ultimate team is played by over a million people all over the world. And its popularity isn't declining as new people are starting everyday. This is a short post on how to get the best start you possible can to Ultimate Team. You don't need to be brilliant at Fifa11 to do this technique but you need to be above average if you want to carry on further with ultimate team.<br />
First of all you will be given 23 bronze players. Now you can change your team to the best starting line up but I tend to just leave it as its given to me. Now find the trophy that is semi-pro difficulty, this is the hardest trophy you can play at the time.<br />
Play this trophy. When you complete it (there are only 4 games) you should have 2500 coins, to make sure you get maximum points in a game try and win every game 5-0 as this will give you maximum coins for the game, as you can't get extra points for any goal after your fifth goal. Also keeping a clean sheet means you wont lose 50 coins that game.<br />
Once you have done this trophy you might want to put a couple of gold strikers (try not to spend more than 500 on each, but if you see any good deals take them whilst you can) You don't need to buy and gold player for this guide to work, but I get very frustrated with the poor quality of the bronze starting strikers so i tend to.<br />
BUT DON'T BUY ANY OTHER GOLD PLAYERS YET.<br />
The reason for this is that the more gold players you have the better your rating will be, isn't that a good thing? No because this means your team difference will be highly in there favor and you will get less money for games in the amateur trophy.<br />
Now play the trophy again but after the second game of this trophy (the sixth game in total) change your whole starting team to the other bronze players that have not played a game yet, those on your bench and those in the reserve pile, now everybody on your starting team should have 7 contracts each, your bench will have 1 contract each (you don't lose contracts if your on the bench as long as they don't play at all) This means you can play another 6 games, so finish this trophy then do the same trophy again.<br />
Now this can be a bit boring and repetitive but as long as you haven't spent anything you will now have 75000 coins, which can buy you a full gold teams with ratings of around 80 then your free to carry on at will and do as you want. I would recommend not buying a pack with coins but instead trading them with other players, i would recommend discarding your bronze players as they are very hard to sell for good money. And if you are very enthusiastic i would say spend some Microsoft points on buying the pack of the week, the most expensive one, but obviously the best one!<br />
So that is my quick guide to a good start on Fifa11 Ultimae team.

This could easily be proof that there is going to be Halo on the Kinect, I think it would be most likely to be a Halo Wars sequel because I'm unsure how they would do anything else, but nothing has been officially announced just yet.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUIAB6ozxRkm3G8BbMddK9F5nbggjJaxm-x8o8tEwAzlfWiEol6JfN8bcsXhu945GWmLl8y-ynL4DwQDgEX4GTIc31odTg3nU-SQbBKDXeGXlMj4W2X2R4gtDTDuEcnVisMuubPn_lbs6/s1600/AC+fun+pic.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUIAB6ozxRkm3G8BbMddK9F5nbggjJaxm-x8o8tEwAzlfWiEol6JfN8bcsXhu945GWmLl8y-ynL4DwQDgEX4GTIc31odTg3nU-SQbBKDXeGXlMj4W2X2R4gtDTDuEcnVisMuubPn_lbs6/s200/AC+fun+pic.png" width="200" /></a>Next is Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell, and the other games on my list, all of these are made by Ubisoft. And just last month the company were "considering Kinect adaptations for all there major platforms." It was also quoted that "we can propose Kinect versions of all the brands that we have got, but at the end of the day it's down to the production team. We can't promise anything yet. But we will have something for everything, we can assure that!" So to me it seems quite likely that the Kinect could be getting a number of these games and possibly many more, news will be released by Microsoft in the upcoming months. I sure hope that Kinect doesn't kill these games off thought for that would be terrible.Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-60418140929131447002011-02-07T21:32:00.001+00:002011-02-07T21:33:50.033+00:00Call Of Duty: Black Ops Downloadable Content "First Strike" Review.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rdSFKnpj8AUYvrlmGqqivlqrmGoyis70j_98P5YBdiR_v3hjvJgkOozFqENarv3uAuCeOWiciorEyqaVenW4FbfTdrMXQ1vEeEM0zymjEMCbnHYqC_sb2KT7TXuvYt1Ugr_-tf584F9e/s1600/black+ops+first+strike.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 106px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rdSFKnpj8AUYvrlmGqqivlqrmGoyis70j_98P5YBdiR_v3hjvJgkOozFqENarv3uAuCeOWiciorEyqaVenW4FbfTdrMXQ1vEeEM0zymjEMCbnHYqC_sb2KT7TXuvYt1Ugr_-tf584F9e/s320/black+ops+first+strike.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571063958896853154" /></a><br /><br />It’s been a week since the release of Call of Duty Black Ops' first DLC content, which was made available to xbox360 gamers only, and what an exciting week it’s been! Of course, we all knew that there’d be five new maps, meaning choosing the best one will be down to personal opinion.<br /><b>Berlin wall.</b> This is the first of the five maps. This map’s colours offer very little in the way of variety, with Treyarch’s usual brown, greys, and greyee-browns being made visible. Despite this, the map plays well, especially for Domination game type, with the B flag being situated in the middle of ‘no man’s land’ famously guarded by the Automatic Sentry guns, which feature in the game; making it very hard to capture. Furthermore, the map provides excellent vantage points, buildings surround the snowy ground making difficult paths, especially in high traffic areas. On the whole, this map is better suited to the Ground War playlist.<br /><b>Discovery</b> is our second multiplayer map, a snowy military base beneath the green shimmer of the northern lights. Discovery has some partly destructible bridges, making for some entertaining capture the flag. It is, however, a very slow map – especially whilst playing Team Deathmatch, and that combined with half the enemy team using Ghost, can lead to a very long and boring game.<br />Next is <b>Kowloon</b>. This map is set in Hong Kong and is great for all combat due to its high buildings and long paths. Two zip lines in the map allow the player the ability to travel from one side to the other, however travelling on these lines can expose you to to the enemy for an easy kill. Due to its small size, it is perfect for short range combat; however note that there are multiple long lines of sight. The player should be wary that there are numerous entrances to many of the buildings, including climbing over obstacles and through windows. The map also features several high rooftops and posts to snipe from. However Kowloon includes some very silly design, as the Domination points such as B, are positioned so that it is very easy to capture, defeating the point of having a B flag.<br /><b>Stadium</b> is the final map in the multiplayer category Stadium will seem the most familiar to all. An ice hockey complex, the colours on this map are very vibrant and happy, and I believe will prove to be the favourite map of many players! It's a map filled with winding routes through the main concourse, but it's also punctured by narrow corridors that lead to open windows where camp-friendly players are a little too protected from the high intensity action downstairs. It's a fast-paced map for sure, with some awfully risky spawns, but in the whole very exciting to play and may replace nuke-town for the favorite map on black ops position.<br />Finally: <b>Ascension</b> this is last, but certainly not least, Treyarch’s third map of the Zombie onslaught. There’s not much to say about this map. It is certainly the best zombie map so far, with new features being introduced such as; the ‘Gersch Device’, this is a "Black Hole bomb," that can be deployed very easily, it sucks the Zombies into another dimension, destroying them all, which give you a change to regroup with your friends. Also without giving to much away there are a few edition such as the Russian dolls that fit inside each other called Matyroska dolls, these are essentially cluster frags and also some other new perks. They have also substituted the dogs and the scientist for perk stealing monkeys, these are very annoying as they will steal<br />your perks with no refunds and they will also move the perk spawners. Unfortunately there is a lack of good places to camp at, but overall this is a very good map with good potential to get to high rounds.<br />On the whole, First Strike offers a lot to both competitive gamers, with some exciting new maps including the slightly larger than normal maps which can allow some sniping for those wanting a challenge. And offers a lot to newer gamers who are just after a bit of fun with the new zombie map which is a lot better to play then the other two maps and just a lot more enjoyable. On the whole i would recommend getting this downloadable content as it is well worth it!<br />Sorry for the extra long post i just wanted to fit it all in.

(but then again he is bound to say that, trying to advertise the game more so he can get more money)<br />The game is due out in June 2011 and i think will be just another very similar Kinect game, but hopefully I will be proven wrong!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZOnOWTKIVIRo6hGHQ8hTpM1SMsGLdLhyphenhypheniTiooeer5CWtdgNN0vWE72YodI4kg64SQxutZpgUZhj4OvHTn7TNQMIqbTQ2FdhwOkdEN0-3SLP4GQ_CZRvHrqgEySajITPcO9hS5oXOl7U0C/s1600/Micheal+phelps+game.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZOnOWTKIVIRo6hGHQ8hTpM1SMsGLdLhyphenhypheniTiooeer5CWtdgNN0vWE72YodI4kg64SQxutZpgUZhj4OvHTn7TNQMIqbTQ2FdhwOkdEN0-3SLP4GQ_CZRvHrqgEySajITPcO9hS5oXOl7U0C/s320/Micheal+phelps+game.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-62778421430163568812011-02-05T16:24:00.000+00:002011-02-05T16:24:10.042+00:00Call Of Duty: Black Ops STILL Has Problems!It's been 3 months since the latest CoD game came out breaking all sorts of records, making over £400million pound in the first week. And after 3 months of many gamers loving the new, game there are still thousands of complaints a day because of the many problems that gamers are experiencing.<br />
There are complaints of people being thrown out of games, games freezing, connection issues, problems trying to join friends, and other various problems. Even i have experienced problems with the games online mode which can be very frustrating especially if your playing well, or have done something exciting and want to view it in theater mode but then you get kicked out the game for bad connection and the video isn't available.<br />
The Xbox360 PC and PS3 are all affected by these glitches but it's the PS3 that is worst affected.<br />
Activison have released several updates and patches to try and overcome this but not all the problems have been sorted and I now believe that its very likely these problems will never be solved or in fact maybe they can't be solved!<br />
Many CoD fans have been known to go back to the earlier games, statistics show that there are becoming less and less people playing Black Ops each day and more and more playing CoD 4,5 and 6.<br />
The future of black ops looks to be going exceptionally downhill, but maybe a big patch could rescue the game? Or the new map pack, first strike (review coming soon) which is now out for Xbox360? Well who knows? Only time can help, but I really hope Activison sort it out as it's great fun to play online but only with a good connection or when playing with friends.<br />

So as you will most likely know Dead Space 2 was out last week, unfortunately I haven't played it yet but hopefully I will be doing very soon as the first one was great fun and terrifying to play. Anyway, back to my post. Today I heard there was going to be a film about it so I looked into it. And my God it looks like the worst film ever, so corny and cheesy. <br />
<div>Dead Space Aftermath is the sequel to Dead Space Downfall, both of them are animated films and both of them look truly boring. I mean why ruin a perfectly good game by making it into an awful film. The trailer is extremely unrealistic, with a girl walking straight in front of the zombie/monster and not noticing it until it rips her guts out, this is a great let down after all the time and effort that Visceral have put into there game play. This film could have had so much potential and have been an extremely scary film but sadly not, oh well back to playing Amnesia I guess.</div>Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-63583427880983498762011-02-01T14:34:00.000+00:002011-02-01T14:34:39.521+00:00Playstation3 Hack, Warning.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQn5KLLXwTOtiyunWFHlhQ5nnpPf7QHGF0gi1P3muPTEnYgqRWRqoOXBO4hOkwRBsVY-akQHuCXtjoa0Z3WgR13JJ9au6ZQVWEHMJDtIrxNxZG63iCPB203DAOOjld3xyXzDlbRcZsX8qE/s1600/Ps3+Hack.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 128px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567316255264112642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQn5KLLXwTOtiyunWFHlhQ5nnpPf7QHGF0gi1P3muPTEnYgqRWRqoOXBO4hOkwRBsVY-akQHuCXtjoa0Z3WgR13JJ9au6ZQVWEHMJDtIrxNxZG63iCPB203DAOOjld3xyXzDlbRcZsX8qE/s200/Ps3+Hack.jpg" /></a>A warning for all hackers of the PS3. <div>Sony has recently won a court case against George Hotz, who was a successful hacker of the PS3, he is not longer allowed to put any information on the web about the hack to the PS3, the hack allowed people to run any software on there console, including pirated games.

<div><ul><li>The AppleiPhone4. The iPhone is a great seller still for Apple, and it is used by a lot of people for the apps. The app "Angry Birds," has had over 4million buyers making its producers a<b> lot </b>of money.</li>
<li>The Sony PSPgo. This is basically just a new model for the PSP, not really worth buying if you already have a PSP but still a nicer design and slightly clearer game play and navigation.</li>
<li>The <u><a href="http://eziosgameplaysolutions.blogspot.com/2011/01/nintendo-3ds-will-revolutionise-hand.html">Nintendo 3DS</a></u>, this is the newest handheld console out by Nintendo, this is probably what I'm most excited about as it boast to be the first hand-held console to have 3D and even better you don't need to wear glasses!</li>
<li>The classic NintendoDSi. Which we have all seen before, this sold nearly twice as many sets as the PSP this year.</li>
<li>The SonyPSP3000, a slimmer upgrade for the PSP, supposed to have better graphics than the NintendoDS, and has included Skype software.</li>
<li>The <u><a href="http://eziosgameplaysolutions.blogspot.com/2011/01/sony-unveils-psp2.html">Sony NGP</a></u> (stands for Next Generation Portable) This is basically the PSP2 with a few added features.</li>
</ul><div>Looks like the marketplace for hand-held gaming could vastly change this year, I think the Nintendo 3DS will make the biggest difference.</div></div>Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-59898913262697825502011-01-29T19:44:00.000+00:002011-01-29T18:18:40.771+00:00Sony Unveils PSP2!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf_3FnO4KTU6j6ZJPhhFXQKu1FMT7fqXa1HAWcZ-H9pab4ZxwLkG6MePHMWlAjQzLoBUkxwQiiqouJ-kDP4ZoukZ5AmUyl_ueY7CAF5phNX9mcsgXkPf28iDMIiQBN0EUaABch0sXsmv-t/s1600/psp2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 126px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf_3FnO4KTU6j6ZJPhhFXQKu1FMT7fqXa1HAWcZ-H9pab4ZxwLkG6MePHMWlAjQzLoBUkxwQiiqouJ-kDP4ZoukZ5AmUyl_ueY7CAF5phNX9mcsgXkPf28iDMIiQBN0EUaABch0sXsmv-t/s200/psp2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567327013539217186" /></a><br />At a special conference in Tokyo, Sony company bosses revealed that they are in the making of the PSP2, it is to be called the NGP, which stand for Next Generation Portable.

The bundle will be out on the 25th of February in Europe and 3 days before in the USA.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6N_1rFjGskZO9ojc7dUaAnrUpUIYpGTqjv2RYldBwR5tOn_gCG3YQNpamJI1Xwoqc7eMJhhGaTP9JMPDh59V3U4fI1PNDCOEbFO9tm8OHu3Mg6TOzQpjlDojJkgqEy03D5Cykl2UlHauX/s320/Gears+of+war+3+Beast+mode.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 173px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566918314907238322" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gears of War 3 Beast Mode.</td></tr></tbody></table>Without playing the beta version there is little that can be said about Gears of War 3, but there is a small amount of game footage and a few trailers that we can watch to get a bit of information about the game. It looks to me like there could be some elements of Halo in there from the Dust to Dust trailer (which is a classic Gears of War trailer that you should check out) The trailer shows a big monster pop out of the ground and kill some lambent (the aliens your fighting) this reminds me of the flood in Halo which just seemed to ruin the game and annoy the gamer. But hopefully that won't happen to Gears. Also following the sequel's online gaming there has been a new addition of a game mode called "beast mode." This is where you seem to be in control of the monsters from the campaign. But still this is shrouded in mystery, I guess we will find out more when the beta edition is out in February, be sure to stay tuned to find out the latest information about GoW3.Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-51489175740895536612011-01-26T16:49:00.000+00:002011-01-26T16:49:44.901+00:00Black Ops Patch 1.06 Outrage!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd4lygyDBMqrMeTJbY2IJWhzWA5SlriSOkc-VyPv0cPI8fFq92O_x5OvnKKrGcNYHoH98BlUaMtGqmbPCoFL_Ahv73ZU71j-oIXg5JAFKW57cBNr88U806NFbTeWsYqAPMA4L0e_r6f_F4/s1600/Ps3+black+ops+patch+error.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd4lygyDBMqrMeTJbY2IJWhzWA5SlriSOkc-VyPv0cPI8fFq92O_x5OvnKKrGcNYHoH98BlUaMtGqmbPCoFL_Ahv73ZU71j-oIXg5JAFKW57cBNr88U806NFbTeWsYqAPMA4L0e_r6f_F4/s320/Ps3+black+ops+patch+error.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>So you may well know that the Black Ops patch, version 1.06, was released for PS3 today. And there was an outrage when this image was found on the PS3 console for search and destroy. The image was brought up on a forum not too long ago, it shows that when you go to play search and destroy it says "No Xbox LIVE party chat."<br />
Well I don't think the Play station community wanted Xbox LIVE party chat on Search and Destroy anyway.<br />
But none the less this aggravated a lot of PS3 console owners and even some PC gamers. They said that there systems were used "to test the patch and then they focused on the Xbox360." People were outraged that Activision would take up such biased ways.<br />
I for one think this is a simple mistake and just needs correcting no need to complain really, but some people take things a lot more seriously. To be honest when I first saw this I laughed, it is very unlikely that Activision would favour one console.<br />
If your an Xbox360 Console owner then don't worry, earlier today Phil Amaro (who worked closely on the update) tweeted that the new update will be out "shortly" for Xbox360 owners. Now shortly is a very vague term but I think we can assume that it will be available in the next 24 hours. I sure hope so, I for one am very fed up of having my kills stolen when I put somebody on last stance!Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-90562447046097757312011-01-25T17:51:00.000+00:002011-01-25T20:07:40.515+00:00Assassins Creed Brotherhood Achievements; Dust to Dust and Mailer Deamon<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; ">This is a quick tutorial video on getting the only two missable achievments on Assassins Creed Brotherhood, this guide shows you both the achievments very simply.Hope this helps.

And, most importantly, it costs only £150 which is nothing to the medical world. Fredrik Ryden, (one of the students involved) said this project could have cost up to about £50000 without the Kinect. </span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">Sounds great but the Kinect isn't quite ready for surgery yet, it needs to be scaled down a lot as its meant to pick up the movement in a whole room so needs to be scaled down a lot which could take time, but this sounds like a great break through for surgery and shows how gaming is good for your health.</span>Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018350824005433974.post-9497223418000989832011-01-22T15:03:00.000+00:002011-01-24T18:15:44.373+00:00Unicorn Attack On Assassins Creed!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXM9UdO8u5Wv0TNLrFL93CEztvsPkIP9eBEMVK6DiW1G1EyHHrT_3T99kUFTLTUP5mEqi9OmoPccBc3eXcI94LnWKfiqySnA0bfT7z-vB1DRNMfnx_f2hve3clxg6qtAtN_AHcJ7AicGap/s1600/Unicorn+assassins+creed.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXM9UdO8u5Wv0TNLrFL93CEztvsPkIP9eBEMVK6DiW1G1EyHHrT_3T99kUFTLTUP5mEqi9OmoPccBc3eXcI94LnWKfiqySnA0bfT7z-vB1DRNMfnx_f2hve3clxg6qtAtN_AHcJ7AicGap/s400/Unicorn+assassins+creed.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565817678524853650" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So this is just a nice shot I took of me riding my unicorn with my shiny sword on assassins creed brotherhood.

Razer has come up through the ranks in the last couple of years to establish its position as a serious competitor in the gaming market, they have earned huge amounts of money with in the PC gaming community and now they have come to try and take over the console market, starting off with this new Xbox360 controller that is available for pre ordering nowx<br /></div><hr style=" clear: both; visibility: hidden; width: 100%; "><span class="imgPusher" style="float:right;height:0px"></span><span style=" float: right; z-index: 10; position: relative; ;clear:right;margin-top:0px;*margin-top:0px"><a title="Links active once published"><img src="http://www.weebly.com/uploads/6/1/3/5/6135929/658368.jpg?230" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; border-width:1px;padding:3px;" alt="Picture" class="galleryImageBorder" /></a><div style="display: block; font-size: 90%; margin-top: -10px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center;">Extra button on Razer Controller</div></span>So what's so good about this controller?<br />Well first of all as you can see it has an extra button on the back, so there are a total of four buttons and two triggers, these buttons can be assigned to represent any other button on the Xbox controller. This means you could be knifing with one of the buttons and going prone with the other, whilst the other two remain as normal, giving you an advantage over your enemy in first person shooters.<br /> I'm not sure you can see this from the picture but the sticks resistance can be individually customized. This means you can make it more sensitive or less sensitive, so this will be good for being able to keep control on those tricky corners during driving games. And also you may have noticed that the D-pad looks different, this is apparently superior to the previous controllers D-pad, but Razer are still working on perfecting their D-pad.<br /><br />Sounds brilliant, what's the catch?<br /> Well the problem is the <u>cost</u> the controller is going to be around £35-45. We still cant be sure on the price at the moment but this is a rough estimate, this isn't that much more expensive than a current standard Xbox360 controller.<br /> To conclude, this looks like a great edition to the gaming network and could revolutionise the controller market as it gives you a huge advantage over your foes. I think its well worth the extra money and cant wait to buy one myself. Hopefully it should be in my possession by February, but there is still no confirmed release date. We will just have to wait and see.<br />Thanks for reading, feel free to ask any questions, but at the moment there is a lot we don't know so don't expect a solid answer.Voncarstien161http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636766920595530459noreply@blogger.com0
