The House Sitter is a security device of sorts. You plug something into it, and it will turn on at a random time around dusk; giving the illusion that someone has turned it on. It is fairly inexpensive and works for anything, lights, TVs, etc. A good idea if you need to leave your house unattended while you take a vacation and cannot afford or find a real house sitter.

Video: Gears of War 2, Glossy and Oh So Very Gory

Gears of War 2 looks like a compelling enough reason to buy an X360. This is about the glossiest shoot ‘em up I have ever seen, the video gives you a good look at what looks to be a fairly easy level of the game. The video takes you on a gory roller-coaster ride through one of the games levels and is certainly worth checking out if you are in the console market. GeOW2 (not to be confused with God of War 2) will be dropping this November and will be exclusive to the X360. Video after the jump. (more…)

SWTFU on Last Gen Consoles

Star Wars The Force Unleashed is being primped and primed ready for its September and last gen consoles will not be left out. The PS2 version looks perfectly acceptable. The Wii version looks like a whole lot of fun as well, sure it might not stack up against the graphics might of either the X360 or PS3 but that Wii-mote light saber action looks like a whole lot of fun.

The Ultimate Drum Kit for Rock Band

I confess that I have never played Rock Band. It is not that I do not want to, it is that I have had no opportunities here in Japan. American games take a long time to come out over here. If you love your Rock Band drumming action, then the Ultimate Rock Band Drum Kit is most definitely for you.
This is a complete DIY drum kit for Rock Band. It was designed and built by Brett “Buzz” Dawson using a real drum kit and a whole lot of ingenuity. The kit was gutted and outfitted with the necessary sensors to create this one of a kind controller. I have to say, it looks great and it is certainly not beyond the capabilities of a moderately skilled techie to recreate.

The Force Is Strong With This Joystick

The Millennium Falcon makes the perfect vehicle for the Stars Wars Plug and Play video game. From the site:
The battles of the original Star Wars trilogy provide the backdrop for four fast-paced games in this all-in-one Plug & Play controller. The Lightsaber Duel game allows you to recreate some of the most memorable and intense fight scenes from the films. The Assault on Hoth game pits the Rebel Alliance against the unstoppable Imperial Army’s ground forces. Take control of an X-Wing fighter as the Imperial Fleet attacks in waves of laser-blasting action in the Red Leader game. And in Battle of Endor, help Chewbacca destroy the Death Star generator on Endor, then take control of the Millennium Falcon and blast the receptor core to blow up the Emperor’s ultimate weapon. All 4 games are stored on the controller’s internal hard drive. No game console is necessary. Simply plug the unit’s RCA cable into any compatible TV, DVD player or monitor and let the Force be with you! Imported. Wipe clean.
I want one.
Price: $60
