While I don’t personally know YouTube user 16bitghost – who also happens to go by the name of Pete, I am going to go out on a limb and say that he is a man who loves his games. He has amassed just about every console known to man, each in its own little shelf beneath a modestly-sized flat screen. On top of the console collection, there is a game library that some people would [...]
If your Xbox controller lacks a certain something-something, you could try doing what this guy did: replacing the buttons with spent 9mm bullets. Or you could just buy one off Etsy user DieselLaceDesign: This is a new name brand factory Microsoft Xbox controller modified the ABXY with real fired 9mm bullet buttons. Everything functions properly and each controller is tested fully. Please specify when purchasing black, white or whatever other color Microsoft manufactures and is [...]
In the land of Copenhagen, lives a man-child named Bobby Agren, better known as Retro Bobby. Bobby loves toys, video games, creepy facial hair, ironic thrift store sweaters, and making your hair look fabulous. I know, none of this makes much sense, but doesn’t that make this video seem all the more interesting? Bobby and his friend Ruben own and operate a salon/trading post of sorts, where you can trade Gameboys for pompadours, and Atari [...]
![Max Payne 3 Bullet Time Preview Looks Bloody and Awesome [Video]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/mp3bullettime-580x319.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
If this trailer is anything to go by then the third installment in Rockstar’s Max Payne franchise should be a treat. The video shows off the game’s Bullet Time feature and it looks like Rockstar has managed to kick the effect up a notch or two this time around and they made things bloodier to boot. There is always something satisfying about watching the opposition’s bullets whiz harmlessly past while you snuff out each of [...]
Trying to break the record for most consecutive hours spent online? Well you may as well do it in style. And it’s a good thing your trust fund isn’t running out anytime soon because this one’s going to cost you. The Emperor 200 Luxury Computer Workstation is like the G450 Business Jet equivalent of where ever you normally sit to surf the interwebs, but is oddly more expensive than actually chartering a private flight. The [...]
Note: This is a review of the Eyefinity function on the AMD (formerly ATI) 6950, the card has been reviewed ad-nauseam and is still (when properly flashed to a 6970 BIOS) in the top 5 of the performance cards list so I will not go into the details or benchmark the card. All of us who are computer enthousiasts probably have at least one or two spare LCD panel monitors lying around, and because it [...]
I’ve had my sweaty palms on a Logitech G27 Racing Wheel for the last week or so, replacing a still functioning but ancestral Logitech Momo Force wheel, here’s what I found out about it. The G27 kit, wheel, pedals and shifter weigh in at almost 20lbs. This makes the wheel itself very sturdy, an H pattern shift knob is included and the pedals are absolutely marvelous and include a clutch. All three parts even come [...]
Rumor has it that we are going to get our first glimpse of the Xbox 720 at E3 this summer (according to Boy Genius Report anyway). But what are we going to see? The word is that that the 720 GPU is going to be based on ATI’s Radeon HD 6670 GPU – which is a solid, affordable, DirectX 11-capable, mid-range card – that will give the new Box roughly six times the power of [...]
Alienware has done something very, very interesting with the X51: they have made a scaled-down gaming PC, with a tiny footprint, next to no customization options and a reasonable price-tag. On the surface it seems to be the exact opposite of everything Alienware has done in the past – but a Nettop on steroids could be crazy enough to work. Here’s the thing: PC gaming is in serious, serious trouble. While consoles are not in [...]
The Level 10 M mouse is the latest piece of hardware born of the unlikely Thermaltake – BMW Designworks USA collaboration. The gaming mouse has been met with mixed reviews but I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I think that it works. I like the skeletal frame, I like the holes in the bit that you hold onto that keep your hand from getting sweaty – and I [...]
Retrode 2 is a clever little USB accessory that lets you play your old SNES and Sega Genesis cartridges on your PC, the way they were meant to be played… with a controller – it has ports for both types. At $85, it is a little bit pricey, but if you have a large game collection that you don’t want to let go then it is one sweet piece of equipment. Working retro consoles are [...]
Okay, so the element of surprise is out the window on this one – unless you were to surprise the recipient with a box full of nothing, which would make this the most hilarious prank gift ever.
