A must for Gamers!

Advantages: Downloadable Content
Disadvantages: Hard to work out how much your paying for stuff in real £

Right, simply put, if you want to buy Arcade Games, Game Add-ons, Themes, Gamer Pictures, Community Games or rent Films on XBL you need to get yourself some MS Points! MS Points is the curency that's used to purchase all items on the XBL Marketplace. The RRP of 2100 MSP is £17.99 2000 MSP on Xbox Live Marketplace is £17.00 But you can pick up 2100 MSP on eBay for nearer £15 So an arcade game or a game add-on that costs 800 MSP converts to around ...

Sixaxis controller

Advantages: Motion control, blutooth
Disadvantages: Feels light

I have owned a playstation 3 for a number of years now with a sixaxis controller. The controller is extreamly suffisticated as well as all of the normal buttons which are used for conventional gameplay it also contains a gyroscope which monitors its position and movements in six axis, clever hey. The sxiaxis motion control offers a new way to play games and makes things more interesting and more challenging. For example when playing a racing game ...
...may play a game where we just use the motion control which makes it alot more challenging and adds alot of amusement. Some of the best games I have found to use with the sixaxis include Super Rub a Dub very entertaining no matter who you are. As time goes on the use of the motion control wil get better and better and will include better refinement and more intuative ways of use. Overall the Sixaxis controller has a very sturdy build quility a ...

Mattygroves and Her Unexpectedly Good Earphones

Advantages: Superb sound, comfortable fit, volume control on the cord
Disadvantages: Some earbuds were missing, slighly pricy for in-ear earphones

...months ago, a pair of Sennheiser CX500 high quality noise isolating ear-canal headphones with volume control - black (to give it its full name). And so far, I am very, very happy. The Sennheiser CX500 are 'noise isolating' not by using white noise (like the Bose), but rather by fitting snugly in the ear. To this end, a number of ear buds are provided - three sizes of 'normal' round(ish) buds, and supposedly three sizes of 'enhanced' (with an extra ...
...Unlike my previous earphones, the Sennheiser 'phones have a volume control on the cord. This is VERY convenient. I use it most frequently when I need to dim the sound when someone is talking to me (i.e. in a shop or on a train). It also allows you to control the volume without taking the iPod out of the pocket or pouch. The range of volume control isn't huge, but it is sufficient (assuming you keep the main volume fairly high, you can't mute the ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 500 Headphones

Don't chuk it out the window or through the TV!

Advantages: Cheap price if you need to buy one, one comes free with the console.
Disadvantages: None

The Wii Nunchuk controller is used with the Wii console, both produced by Nintendo. The Nunchuk is used by plugging it in to the bottom of the Wii Remote (see my reviews for a review on this too!), it's very simply to use and very simple in design. It is designed to be held in one hand and is suitable for use in many different games (you will be prompted by the Wii when you need to plug it in or when it's no longer required. There are three buttons ...
...these are used for playing in a variety of games from being a shooter to being a boxer. If you use this for boxing it will help you to weave and block yourself as well as help you throw punches. In a first person shooter style game you may well use the joystick for moving your character and the C & Z button to shoot your gun & aim. The design of this is fantastic, it is white to match the rest of the Wii equipment and the console itself, it's very ...
