It's time for another ears on look at a pair of headsets. This time we're looking at the Razer Chimaera 5.1 headsets, Mass Effect 3 edition. Do these full wireless headsets live up to our co-op standards? Does Commander Shepard approve of the chat quality for squad commands? Find out in our latest review.

3D gaming and movies seem to be all the rage these days.  Every big theatrical release touts it's 3D viewing and several big games tout their compatibility with 3D on the PlayStation 3 and PC.  Most home 3D viewing is done using a system that requires a set of big glasses that use alternating eyes to give the impression of 3D.  But there's another method that's a lot less expensive and a lot closer to the experience you'd find in a movie theater - and that's polarized.  Over the past few weeks I've been using a new monitor from AOC that uses this method to display 3D images.  

The next great console is here and believe it or not, it's a portable. What's that you say? Yes, I truly believe what we have here is one of the first portable consoles to date in the PlayStation Vita. Here's why.

Playing Mario Kart Wii with my nephews is always fun as I bring out the mini wheels that came with the game, but what happens when they leave and I want to use a wheel with my 360 games?  The new 360 Wireless Speed Wheel, is what happens.

The first Sony TV with the much lauded SimulView technology will be available for purchase on November 13th worldwide.  The 24 inch 3D TV utilizes a set of 3D glasses for each player to create two distinct 2D images - thereby eliminating an actual split-screen setup and allowing both players to look at the full screen.  We had some eyes on time with the TV back at E3 and came away pretty impressed - but one thing has changed since then - the bundled game.

While we already knew that Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360 would require two discs, one for Single Player and one for Co-Op and Multiplayer, we didn't know that the second disc would also contain a small bonus for Xbox 360 owners.  

We've all been there.  It's a nice day outside, you want to do nothing more than enjoy the sun.  But there's a problem.  You just uploaded a picture of your dog Fluffy to Facebook and you need to know the second someone presses the like button.  Or perhaps you felt like playing some co-op Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker on your PSP while laying in your hammock in the back yard.  You get to your relaxation spot only to find out your wi-fi signal is too flaky to work.  That's where the Diamond WRN300N comes in.

A surprise interview for me at E3 was with Razer founder Robert Krakoff at the company's booth.  After touring some new products on display we sat down for a relaxing chat about the company, PC gaming, and our gaming habits.  

One of the surprise announcements of Sony's E3 2011 Press Conference was a brand new TV they created aimed at a budget friendly consumer market.  The 24" 3D TV features 1080p support, 3D capabiltity, simulated surround sound capability, and of the most interesting feature - a 2 player mode that allows multiple players to see the full screen each with their own unique view.

Aren't picture-posts a lot of fun? This months blog topic calls for just that - photos, mostly. We want you to take pictures of your gaming rig, whether it's a slick PC setup, or an awesome television/console setup you've got going. Minimalists are invited to join in as well, but the CCV blogger of the week is far from it.

This month we want to see what you've got under the hood so to speak. Our blogging topic for May requests images worth a thousand words on where you game. Pictures of your gaming setup, your sweet T.V., your pimped out PC, or whatever you deem most important to your gaming.

Singapore-based developer Rockmoon has built a tech demo using the Unity Engine that takes two people to play in true co-op fashion.  One player flies the ship using Kinect-based motion controls and the other controls the guns with an iPhone or iPod.  The game is merely a proof of concept, and the developers are unsure if anything more will come of it, but it's an interesting use of two completely different technologies working together.

When checking out Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D at PAX East, we did describe it as a beautiful game. It turns out there was no visual trick to that beauty, as Capcom has come forward to reveal they’ve reused some console assets when designing The Mercenaries 3D to really bring the game a console feel on a portable platform.

Something we missed in the whole PAX East shuffle is a PlayStation 3 update that included a brand new feature for PlayStation Plus subscribers.  The feature is cloud storage and what it does is adds the ability for members to store and backup saved games and data to Sony's servers much like PC users can do with Valve's free Steam Cloud service.  Why would you want to do this?  The answer is two fold really.

We covered Sony's patent for shared-screen stereoscopic 3D gaming last summer.  Sony execs put on a demonstration recently showing the Dual View 3D mode in Killzone 3.  In normal 3D viewing, two similar images are shown on screen, and 3D glasses produce the depth effect.  In Dual View 3D mode, two entirely different images are on screen.  What you see is dependent on your position to the television or monitor.  So player one will have one full screen display, and player two will have their own individual display as well.
