Recently Microsoft has come under fire from the gaming community on its policies and restrictions that are implemented into the Xbox One. Gamers are not happy with the outcome of what the Software giant is doing and how they are forcing us to do things we just don’t want to do. Microsoft seems to be turning into a bad parent that wants to control its ‘kids’ and monitor what we can and cannot do with something we have purchased. Now don’t get me wrong the specs for the Xbox One are just simply beast and will truly be a great addition to your entertainment needs. Though from a gamer’s point of view Microsoft needs to think about the impact this could make on the expected sales. The Xbox One is going to have a lot of restrictions in which gamers who purchase the console will have to abide by if they wish to use it after purchase. (more…)

Can you say ‘BeastMode?’ because that is what this review for the IntensaFire modded controller is all about, turning you into a beast in Black OPS 2? I have asked myself in the past of how does he run towards me and pull his weapon up so fast? Or how did that Sniper hit his target with three bullets all at the same time? When I received the IntensaFire modded controller in the mail for review all those questions were answered and I finally knew what the deal was. With all the modded controllers on the market the choice can sometimes be over-whelming on which one to get and where to buy it from. This modded controller comes fully packed with 12 modes and one of those being the customization mode where you can adjust the settings for the other modes. The best thing is customizing the controller was easy and took little time. I like the look of the ‘Bullet D-Pad’ and it is smooth looking and moves nice and smooth. (more…)
The Verdict
9.2Amazing
The Good: Amazing Glossy Shell| Easy to Control| On the Fly Mode Switching| Great Selection of Controllers| 100% Undetectable online| Pre-Set Rapid Fire Works with All Weapons| Compatible with Rechargeable Xbox 360 Battery Pack
The Bad: Could Use Some Additional Add-ons (IE: Jump Shot/Zombie Auto-Aim)| Doesn’t Work with Gears of War: Judgment| Start Button is a little deeper
Over the years we have seen games that attempt to give a decent take on ‘Naval Combat’ and have never done a solid job. When it comes to such games you never want to go into them expecting a lot and usually they are disappointing. Leviathan: Warships attempts to change the idea behind what a solid ‘Maritime Combat’ title should look like and feel like. I will say that this is a great title for those who enjoy a good naval game. I will say that Paradox Interactive has given us such a title that it is hard to put down. I haven’t enjoyed such a title in this type of genre in a long time and the fact that it is ‘Strategy and Turn Based’ offers much more than just floating on water. (more…)
The Verdict
8.4Great
The Good: Great Take on Naval Combat| Good Strategy Planning| Nice Graphics| Multiplayer Enabled| Customize Your Own Fleet| Suspend Planning Phase Timer to Increase the Planning Phase for A Day Or More| Good Selection of Ships and Weapons
The Bad: Needs a Little More Polishing| Could Use Some More (Specialty Ships)
Most third party controllers are lacking in some area or don’t seem to adhere to what you are looking for. This is not the case with the SC-1 PS3 sports controller by Gioteck as it is all about sports and giving the player a advantage over the competition. With many controllers from a third party you might find that they are bulky, lacking customization or worse they just don’t work well with the console. The case is not true with this nice little accessory, as the design makes it comfortable and puts you hands in the close range of the button layout. Most games that require quick thinking and fast finger or thumb movements are nothing when it comes to using the SC-1 by Gioteck. Right in the box everything is squeezed together and well protected and this is great because you don’t have to worry about it being dropped in the box and breaking. With the controller is a 2.4 GHZ adapter that you need to plug into your Playstation 3 in order to use the controller. Not only is the controller well defined in design but it is also a truly ‘Gangsta Sexy’ and will make your friends go ‘Ooo’.

The Verdict
9Amazing
The Good: Customization| Tons of Features| Awesome Value and Priced lower than Expected| Responsive Stick Controls| Adjustable Analog Sensitivity| Great Value for the Price
The Bad: Smaller than normal Start and Select Buttons| Doesn’t turn on the console| Requires an Adaptor to Function with the PS3| Designed for the Sports games and not Good for FPS, if not playing a Sports Game, Customization is out the door
