Steelseries is a big name in headsets, so when they told me they were launching a radically different line, I was intrigued. After using the Arctis 3 in my daily work and gaming routine for over three weeks, I’ve been impressed with the performance, though the experience comes with its own unique, and sometimes annoying, quirks.
HyperX launched two new peripherals in the past month: the Cloud Stinger headset and Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming keyboard. After using them for a couple of weeks now, I definitely find them worthy of consideration for a mid-budget gamer.
It's time to shed a few zombie-sized tears for a co-op game that will never be. Ubisoft's ZombiU 2 was alive for all of two months before the plug was pulled. New details have been sniffed out that show co-op was one of the big features planned for the canned follow-up.
Well, this just happened. While checking out the IndieCade showcase at E3, we got to have a little hands-on time with WiiU indie title Spin The Bottle. Unlike the game I remember from my childhood, this one barely involves being rejected by girls who really don't want to kiss you, although I nearly made out with the lovely gentleman pictured above. *sigh* Someday.
You want skins? Rayman's got skins. Three of 'em, to be exact. The much-anticipated but also sadly delayed Rayman Legends is now getting a pre-order bonus unique to each system it launches on. Grab the Wii U or PlayStation 3 versions and you'll get an Assassin's Creed skin for either Rayman or Barbara. Go the Xbox 360 route and you'll nab some night vision goggles straight out of Splinter Cell. Sort of unusual for a Rayman game, but a bonus is a bonus.
While the release date may have been pushed back to August, Disney Infinity is alive and well. As proof, there's a video! And it's got pirates! The new teaser shows off the Pirates of the Caribbean Play Set, complete with sword fighting, cannons firing, ships sailing, and Jack Sparrow being a general snark as he slides across ropes. And yes, a Kraken is summoned. Because you're kinda required to do that at this point.
Described as "Ratchet & Clank meets Zelda meets Uncharted", Oliver & Spike: Dimension Jumpers is an upcoming indie platform adventure game that has high aspirations. Some new details have recently been released about the game, emphasizing its unique story-driven content, dimension jumping abilities, and family-friendly gameplay.
As we look ahead to the co-op releases for the next few months, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate still firmly blips on our radar screens for the end of March. Previously, we've seen the some action straight from the game and even a little bit about connecting with other WiiU friends online or locally via the 3DS. Recently, Capcom's begun detailing some of the different weapons and weapon combos you'll have available through the Capcom-Unity blog. First up on the list is the basic weapon set with which all players will begin: the ever trusty Sword and Shield.
The long-running Ben 10 franchose is back with an all new series this fall. Cartoon Network's shape-shifting, super-cool teen is headed to your TV in Ben 10: Omniverse. It's pretty much a requirement for these shows to have a video game tie in these days, and Ben 10: Omniverse is no exception to this rule. Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, and the upcoming WiiU will all get versions of the new game.
Long lines and a distinct lack of appointments given to us from Nintendo largely kept our busy editors away from test-driving the WiiU at this year's E3, but as luck would have it, our Warner Bros. booth visit included a chance to check out Scribblenauts Unlimited, the first co-op entry in the popular
