Review: Tritton AX 180 Gaming Headset

19 Nov 2009 14:28:54 PST

Written by samversionone
If you are on a budget and need a good gaming headset, I highly recommend the Tritton AX 180. Even if you aren’t on a budget, this headset is top quality. Very rugged and the build quality is top notch. And unlike similar headsets that they make for specific consoles, you can use these on almost an...

Ear Force X41 Review [Review]

19 Nov 2009 08:00:00 PST

Written by Mark Wilson
As a wireless, surround sound headset for the Xbox 360, the X41 is at the top of its class (at least partially because it's still the only product in its class). If you're willing to go wired, you can save about $100+ on a cheaper version of the Ear Force, or you can take a look at the even more expe...

Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel for Xbox 360 review

18 Nov 2009 21:02:00 PST

Written by Tim Stevens
To celebrate the release of Forza Motorsport 2, Microsoft made a big deal about its Wireless Racing Wheel, a cable-free force-feedback controller for racers that was only really wireless if you didn't want force-feedback. It was a reasonable compromise and a reasonably good wheel, but...

Opinion: Modern Warfare 2: PC Versus 360

18 Nov 2009 14:30:00 PST

Written by Mike Fahey
This having been said, the PC version loses a point to the Xbox 360 as far as local multiplayer options go, with the ability to network multiple 360 consoles together via System Link. There are no LAN options for Modern Warfare 2, and of course no split-screen multiplayer either, so the cons...

Written by 2dreviews
Fight Night Round 4 is the follow-up to one of the defining titles for the Xbox 360. Round 3 showcased HD gaming unlike any other game at the time. If there was an Xbox 360 demo in a store, Fight Night 3 was in the system. The game was crisp, innovative, had an engaging soundtrack, and was damn fun. La...

Opinion: Bayonetta is first Xbox 360 game awarded perfect score by Famitsu

20 Oct 2009 16:00:00 PDT

Written by Richard Mitchell
First, it could be that Bayonetta is just a really good game. Second, it's possible the editors of Famitsu really have a thing for hair witches. Given the involvement of Hideki Kamiya -- one of the principal minds behind Devil May Cry -- it's probably the former. At least, we certainly hope it'...
