First lets get the bad out of the way. This game is in Japanese with no English, so some level of understating of the Japanese language is necessary to enjoy this game fully. Being nearly deaf, I have to depend on the Japanese subtitles which is quite riddled with Kanji, so it's not exactly beginner reading. However for those with normal hearing, I think there is an option to turn on voices, so that should help considerable for those who are more familiar with the spoken language. If this doesn't scare you away from this game, then read on. If you want a small taste of a similar type of game in English, I recommend checking out 'Attack of The Friday Monsters, A Tokyo Tale,' for the N3DS. Though not identical, the game-play and art style is very similar.

Boku No Natsuyasumi 3 is a wonderful game that would be worthwhile to check out by fans of games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon. In it, you play a young boy who is going to spend his summer vacation with his Uncle's family on his father side while his parents are getting ready for the arrival of a new baby. Each day of the game passes much like the days pass in Harvest Moon. At it's heart, this is really a game about reliving childhood, goofing off and doing all the carefree things a child of this age would do, such as fishing, catching bugs, exploring, playing with friends and helping out on his Uncle's farm. In fact there are so many things to find and do in this game that I feel it would risk spoiling the fun to mention any more than the basics.

Graphically this game is a delight to the eyes. It remind me very much of Studio Gibli's movies, so if you're a fan of those, then this game will make you feel like you're the protagonist in a Gibli film. I can't really be an authority on the sounds of the game because as I mentioned before, I am hearing impaired, but what I can hear has been very charming.

One thing I should mention is that I bought my game new for $40. With a bit of searching, it's not particularly hard to find this game around that price, maybe even cheaper if you are lucky. Unless you like throwing money away, beware of import scammers.

If the Japanese doesn't scare you and you enjoy life simulation style games, then I highly recommend this one. At worse, if you're a student of Japanese, but find this game to be above your level, you'll have a cool game to put on your game shelf that you'll eventually be able to pull out and enjoy someday.

Like most I was very excited to read the reviews and watch the demos. I ordered and installed the product, and set everything up properly. The customer support is great, and the new firmware fixed any small issues the product had with jaggedness. There is no lag, and aiming is, technically, more accurate than is possible with a controller.

HOWEVER, I ultimately returned the product. The problem that I haven't seen mentioned is that the main thing that makes using a mouse so much better than a controller simply doesn't translate onto PS3:

On a PC, a mouse is LINEAR. If you move the mouse 2 inches to the right your character turns a certain amount. If you move the mouse 2 inches to the right quickly, the character turns the EXACT SAME AMOUNT, he just does it MORE QUICKLY. This is not the case when using a mouse on Black Ops, Medal of Honor, etc. The Eagle Eye basically translates the "mouse is moving to the right" action into "right analog stick is being pushed to the right." This, in theory, works well. However, on the PS3, the speed of your character's turn depends not on the speed that the mouse moves, nor the distance, but on a fixed in game sensitivity. For example, if you set your sensitivity to 2 in Black Ops, your character can only turn at a certain max speed. If you try to swipe your mouse to the right quickly, the PS3 only understands that the right analog stick is being pushed breifly, and your character will barely move. If you move the mouse relatively slowly, the character will turn farther, because the PS3 thinks the right analog stick has been pushed right for a longer period of time. This is the opposite of how it works on PC, and is very disconcerting. This is no fault of Penguin United, it is simply the way the game undertands inputs, and it cannot be changed unless the game has an option to undestand inputs in a linear way, such as the native mous/kb option in UT3. Ultimately, This was very frustrating/confusing, and I wound up losing more firefights trying to fight this effect and my own inutition than I would have if I had simply used the controller.

C/N You get to use a mouse and keyboard, but the REASON a mouse and keyboard is better in the first place doesn't really translate.

Take your time and do the advanced Calibration several times to tweak it perfect. It takes several games to get the feel just right.. but after you get it calibrated it is pretty close to a PC experience. The major difference is the linear action of a PC mouse and the analog action of the Eagle Eye mouse, you just can not trun around as fast as you can with a PC mouse. It is impossible to replicate it exactly but you can get close. When you set up your keys dont forget the long blank space below the controller that sets your scope mode button for calibration. And after you do advanced calibration for non scope mode, do it again with your player in scope mode. This really allows you to fine tune the players actions while scoped and can make it like shooting fish in a barrel. I played MW3 campaign first and got the feel down then you can go online and it is amazing how most of the controller players look like they are in slow motion. Well worth the 50 bucks if, like me all your friends are scared of PC games and you still want to own them..

I'm a skeptic when it comes to console gaming but after weighing the pros and cons of each console, I went with a PS3. This is my first console since Super Nintendo and I've been really happy with it except for one thing...First Person Shooters. FPSes feel like you are drunk on PS3.

It was by accident that I stumbled across a YouTube review of Eagle Eye but for the price it was worth a shot. I am so glad I made the decision to buy it. I've already been cursed at in-game for being such a good shot and went from that guy at the bottom of the scoreboard with 1 kill and 20 deaths to the top 5 every time. I've used it for BF3, Golden Eye, and CoD4. All of them work great with the Eagle Eye.

As for finding the correct mouse and keyboard, it worked with a cheap Logitech M310 wireless mouse and GE wireless keyboard I picked up from Target for $15 total.

As to the people giving this a negative review, it is either (1) they are too inept to read the instructions and calibrate it correctly, (2) not adjusting in-game sensitivity, or (3) not using a correct mouse or keyboard.

Pros: Quick install, faster aiming, compact, and great for PC gamers coming to console.

Cons: It has 95% of the feel of a PC game (it still feels a bit off), not compatible with all mice or keyboards, and it will make your wife angry that you spend more time gaming.

The bad reviews on this device may be prior to the 3.0 firmware update/application for the Eagle Eye and/or may be from people who just didn't take the time to calibrate it properly or tweak it.

That being said, just as background and setup, I'm a mid-30's gamer who grown up rocking the FPS online PC games all the way back to the original Quake1&2, Wolfenstein and the ever awesome Half Life on those fantastic dial ups. It's ingrained that a keyboard and mouse are the necessary tools for an FPS. I transitioned to the PS3 because of the expense of continually updating my gaming rig each year and in buying the PS3 I've gone though quite a few Keyboard/Mouse setups for it. Most noteable is the SplitFish series of PS3/xBox mouse setups.

The SplitFish has it's advantages with an easy plug'n play, but the calibration, adjustments and precision are far lacking in comparison to the Eagle Eye. Moving from one game to the next you find the SplitFish 'feeling' is way different on each game. Now this isn't a review on the SplitFish, but a review on the Eagle Eye. I have had more issues trying to dial in and change and setup the SplitFish to get the PC Game feel and in the end had no luck. The SplitFish will never feel like a PC game setup. Period. I eventually just "lived with it".... until I jumped the CoD line and moved to BF3 where the SplitFish is completely and utterly useless by the stair effect.

Being useless I moved onto another Mouse/Keyboard setup and bought the Eagle Eye. I was weary based on some of the review, but I'm happy I bought it. Here, let me say that again in big'ol letters I"M HAPPY I BOUGHT IT. It's far beyond the SplitFish setup.

I'm running an older 3500 dpi Razer Deathadder with the Razer Nostromo as my keyboard and, no joke, DonkeyTron! Let me translate DonkeyTron.... yeah, it friggin rocks. The Eagle Eye recognized both hardware and worked perfectly. It's not exactly like playing on a PC, but it is so so very close. You get precise aiming movements and the ability to have all your key command / usage buttons at your finger tips and it was fairly easy to setup and be up and running/playing in minutes with something that will 'work' and 'dominate'. I say that because, you are able to do a pretty quick setup and have the thing working much better than any other keyboard/mouse combos I've tried, but to really get it super dialed in to your preference it takes a couple more minutes to tweak things. (Caveat: I'm super picky about how my hardware performs, so this could just be me.)

SETUP: The instructions are a little lacking (box instructions), but the setup is fast and easy. If you're on Linux you're SOL and will have to find a Windows machine.

The one thing they leave out of the setup is that the keyboard and mouse that you're going to be using with the PS3 need to be plugged into the windows machine and the drivers HAVE to be installed. For some crazy reason (early morning) I totally missed this and took me 5 minutes to "think" about it.

The Eagle Eye comes with the 3.0 firmware and software and it's super easy to setup ad use. Once running, it's a matter of clicking on the PS3 button shown in the wonderful example PS3 controller image (in app) and then clicking the keyboard or mouse button that you want to assign it to. Once that's done, then it's a matter of taking all three devices and hooking them up to your PS3. TaDa!

USE: I've had some uber bad stair effect with many mouse/keybaord combos for the PS3, but it's nearly non-existent with the Eagle Eye. In BF3, the SplitFish is almost un-playable, but with the Eagle Eye there's no stair effect it's smooth, precise and fast.

I did run into the 'slow turning' that some people mentioned. If you have you're ingame settings too low then, when you try and 360 spin turn (like you can in PC FPS games) you'll have to pick your mouse up and slide it multiple times. This is just a matter of taking the time to dial in the settings. Once dialed in this is a great product.

CONS: Instructions are very short, but then when you run the app there's sidebar instruction that run you through things. Could they be a little more detailed? Yes. Do they give you enough information? Sure.

It is wired. The Eagle Eye device, that is. To me, this really isn't a huge con, but it does add some more cords to your gaming setup.

PROS: Price.

Easy setup.

Solid product doesn't seem like it's going to break.

Supported Hardware the list is very long and includes some great gaming keyboards/mice.

Online support there's a ton of documentation and information online.

Multiple Key Mappings this allows you to setup more than one mapping for the device. e.g. I have two on mine right now. One for BF3 and one for CoD since there's a slight variation in the buttons and I can adjust the aiming speeds for each.

PC FPS Feel well, almost PC feel. It's pretty damn close and I've used almost every keyboard/mouse setup for the PS3.

This item does work well but I did notice that if it isn't switched to "Setting 1" when the PS3 is turned on then it won't detect it. (Remember what keyboard button you set as the Playstation sync button! You have to sync it just like any other PS3 controller.) Sometimes it does simply mess up and disconnect, but maybe only once every 40 hours of game play. This is most likely a PS3/Game issue, not due to the Eagle Eye though.

I'm using it for COD (I have every version) with the Logitech G500 mouse (on the highest dpi setting all the biggest weights installed). You will have to adjust your customized settings in the game, the Eagle Eye, and mouse for days to get it where it fits you best. The uploaded settings on their website by other users are ridiculous, placing keyboard buttons way too far apart to play any game. I will be uploading my custom settings to their website soon once they are refined to perfection. The cable is a good length, I've got a 50 inch screen with the Tritton AX. These ($160) earphones have a shorter cable by a couple feet, but the Eagle eye is super long... I don't know what customers were complaining about... Add the keyboard and mouse cables and now it ends up being 9 feet long, at least 3 feet more than you should ever need?! 4 feet is enough.

With the DPI on 5700 for the mouse and the Max speed setting maxed out on the Eagle Eye settings the movements are exactly like those of a computer, but using a 300-600dpi wireless mouse ($5) and/or with the max speed restricted, the movements are jumpy, 'knocking' into positions about 6 times per second. YOU HAVE TO FIND A GOOD COMPATIBLE MOUSE AND SET THE EAGLE TO MAX SPEED! You can always where the sensitivity in the game down to a 3 to slow it down after that.

All 10 keyboards I have work but of the 5 mice I had only 1 worked, my cheapest wireless one imported from China... so I had to go out and buy the G500 to make the games playable.

Clearly the price makes this a steal, other similar products are over $100. Other integrated mouse-like PS3 controllers aren't adjustable enough to recreate PC like mouse movements. The only major flaw I saw is that after saving the sensitivity settings (in game using the F1 F2 F3 etc. keys), when connecting it to the PC I could not pull the settings off of the Eagle Eye back into Windows 7 64, it locked up my PC for all but 1 of the some odd 10 or more times I tried. (Had to CTRL-ALT_DEL to close the program.) Fortunately 1 pull was enough, and they matched the website sensibility settings uploaded for BLOPS exactly, so there is really no need to keep testing them again since if you don't change your mouse, these will stay the same.

I am using the same setup for both Uncharted (all versions) and Call of Duty (all versions). So far they work great, have completed from start to finish all versions (and prestige'd in all) fairly easy in just 1 month of gaming. If you are taking advantage of the cheap new/used/old games for the PS3 as an alternative to the long list of expensive/incompatible PC games out there (PC games that are also easily hacked) then THE EAGLE EYE IS NOT OPTIONAL! YOU MUST HAVE THIS IF YOU HATE GAME CONTROLLERS LACK OF SENSITIVITY SETTINGS AS MUCH AS I DO!!! Once you've learned to adjust the settings properly you'll same a ton of money by getting used/older games for the PS3 instead of going the pricey PC route, so the cost for this item, no matter how cheap/expensive really becomes irrelevant.

This is an excelling gaming investment for a PC-Mouse gamer going to the PS3!

(if you have enough PC knowledge to navigate the fairly simple software instructions properly)

This was a great deal when you consider the price for everything you get in the bundle. The game by itself is pretty cheap and I would consider it a solid buy for 20.00 or less if you don't need the Move Bundle. I have an 11 year old and a 16 year old and my wife and I had a blast playing this new years eve with them. My only wish would be for maybe 3 or 4 more mini games. The ones that it does have are very fun and you have the option to choose them individually to play or in a group of 5 or more where the game chooses which challenges you will face. There are separate difficulty settings for each player so it makes it very competitive regardless of skill. Also of note is hard as we tried the PS eye will not take a picture nearly as clear for your on screen avatar as you see on the box. Not a big deal though. Most the time we grabbed a stuffed animal or a picture or the dog and created a funny avatar. Yes it also records your voice and repeats whatever you call yourself when its your turn. Overall a great purchase!!

PS3 Dual Controller Charger

Customer Ratings:

Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus:

Like many others out there I needed a solution to charge my controllers without having to plug them into the Playstation 3, so I purchased this little guy. Initially, it feels pretty cheap, the flip down prongs felt loose, and sure enough, the thing is very finicky at accepting power. I first plugged it directly into my power strip, and I kept finding that the controllers weren't charging, and that I had to move the charger slightly till it showed it had power, and then not breath. I thought maybe the shape of my power strip was contributing, so I put in a little 6" extension cable which allowed me to get the best possible contact, and still it was finicky. (Most likely the joint used for the flip out prongs).

I can't be sure of this, but after fussing with this for a month or so, one of my controllers just completely stopped working. Did the flaky connection fry the batteries?

I replaced the controller, and the charger (Pelican charge station is working great so far), and things seem to be happy.

Design: It's a plug that looks like a PS3, which is a pleasant surprise actually.

Effectiveness: Gets the job done. Takes about one or two hours to charge an empty controller.

Convenience: It charges up to two controllers simultaneously and comes with two free USB charger cables.

Quality: The charger was badly scratched up.

I'm satisfied. No need to look elswhere for me.

This is one of those rare items which I have had to return twice. The first one did not work at all--not even the red LED lit up. The second one turned on the LED but only one of the two ports worked.

It's on sale because it does not work.

On the bright side, it's one of the only USB power supplies that will activate the PS3 controller's charging circuit. I'm not sure what it is about the PS3 controller but it will not charge unless it's plugged into a USB port that is capable of initializing it such as this item or a USB port on a PS3 that is turned on (or a Wii that is sleeping).

I'll keep looking for a stand-alone PS3 controller charger. I'm afraid if I get another replacement it might set my house on fire.

James Bond 007: Blood Stone

With MGM fighting bankruptcy, the next Bond film will be a long wait ahead. Gladly, they pushed out Blood Stone to make some sort of revenue. I had low expectations for this game, honestly. But this game took some liberties, and without a movie to restrict the game's story, production designers had a lot of freedom.

The gameplay is 3rd person. I couldn't help thinking of the awful Tomorrow Never Dies gaming from the PSOne era when reading this on the game info. The contols are very solid for a shooter. Activision went with a shoot/cover scheme simular to Rainbox Six series. The firefights emphisise keeping cover and taking time for that critical shot, spray and pray gunstyle gets you killed terribly quick. There's also an added melee feature that has Bond perform CQC on enemies within an arms reach. I've found this feature to be the most entertaining. You're constantly pushing forward toward your objective, with an enemy attempting to block your path you can smoothly take him down and not miss a beat on your sprint. A very Bond move not really attempted in previous games. On a side note, the game is visually amazing. The ambiance in the background is polished off well.

And for the not so great. The game wants so hard to incorporate the Bond vehicle chase sequences, which could have been more refined before the game's release. Driving controls are very sluggish. I've attempted to get the driving physics down, but still can quite make the smooth drifting turns the game simply instructs. These driving controls are my only real complaint about the game. Thankfully, they took the time to really smooth out the rest of the gameplay. I also understand this is not a driving game and not the primary selling point, but if it's going to be put in the final product, it should be done well. Again, this wouldn't even be an issue if there was only a couple driving sequences throughout the whole game. I've only played the first few levels and half were a driving/vehicle chase. This seems to be the running trend for the game.

If you can manage with driving sequences that seem like a chore than gameplay, this game is an overall hit. Even with my minor complaint, I find the game addicting and entertaining. Highly recommended for any Bond fan, or anyone wanting to step away from first person shooters.

Yes I do believe that James Bond Bloodstone is the 2010 Game of the Year. It excels in every aspect and is an amazing thrill ride. The game plays a lot like many other third person shooters namely Uncharted, because there are some jumps and ledges for Bond to climb around to kill his enemies in this installment. These little added platforming sequences add some great depth to the already stable shooter mechanics. Added as well are driving missions. These are done extremely well by the developers behind Project Gotham Racing. They look great and the cars handle with some great precision. After all what is James Bond without some car chases. There isn't an over abundance of them but they are of great quality and add the movie-like experience that Bond fans want.

The graphics are a lot better than I expected. Some areas look better than others but overall the game is gorgeous. There are also quite a few cut scenes which is rare for a Bond game. They are well done and add even more to that movie-like feel the developers strived for. Daniel Craig along with Judi Dench lend there voices and it really adds to your feeling of actually controlling Bond.

There are both stealth missions and full out action ones. Also in the stealth missions you can just kill everything and not be stealthy at all if you wish. You use your smart phone to hack cameras and computers and it is your tried and true gadget of choice. Most of the time you have to do a quick time event to hack the electronic device. These QTE events are fun and done pretty well. There nothing extraordinary but they do make you earn the use of your gadget.

The game uses a cover system that woks rather well. You can easily switch cover and guide along it in order to position yourself to kill the target. Another big part of the combat system is the physicality that Craig brings to Bond. You will probably kill a lot of enemies by punching them in the face. The game rewards you for doing so by giving you a free head shot. Every person that you take down with your fist gives you a Bond moment where you are guaranteed one head shot. It works similar to the system used in Splinter Cell Conviction. You zoom in on a guys head and pull the trigger. No one can shoot you while you are in this mode.

The story is also a great highlight. Is it the best spy tale ever? No, but it does have it's share of twists and turns, and really keeps you hooked to find out who's behind the curtain pulling all the strings. Also there are a ton of of Bond type moments that you expect. There are funny and some unbelievable moments that come with the territory and are very typical of a Bond movie or game in this case.

This game is in no doubt my choice for GOTY. It plays with great precision in all aspects. The story, car chases, Bond moments, and just plain kick ass quality that we expect from a movie all inter twined in this amazing game. If you are a fan of James Bond or just 3rd person shooters in general pick this game up I highly recommend it.

I just rec'd this game the day it launched and I can tell you that the graphics may suck at very beginning of playing the game, but there is so much action that takes place, you'll soon pay no mind to it. Compared to "Quantum of Solace", it surpasses it because the gameplay is by far the most refreshing thing to the gaming community. The controls are intuitive, not difficult at all to master because the game prompts don't take you by surprize. Boy! The action is top notch too! Even though I haven't finished the game yet, the game definitely reminds me and plays like "Uncharted 2". It truly is a very good game for even those hard core gamers. Get it a try, you won't be disappointed. It's not perfect with the graphics---but I'm sure the developer will do a patch to adjust it.

I like third person games. I enjoy playing as a character I recognize. This game is excellent on both those fronts. The story is simple, the decision making is minimal, the variety between the shooting and driving is good. For occasional or novice gamers, this is an excellent game. For those who play seriously, this game may be too short and simplistic.

PROS......

+ Weightless.

+ Easy to transport and move (great for travels).

+ Easy to install.

+ Works great with all ps3 devices.

+ Comes with USB cable.

CONS......

Simple design, not fashion at all.

Only 2 USB outputs.

COMMENTS-----------

I have 6 ps3 controllers and a USB rechargeable headset.

I bought this PS Brand device to maintain charged my ps3 accesories away from my ps3's USB inputs, and I must say this adaptor works great .

It recharges the ps3 controller @ full, and stops giving it energy the moment the battery is full charged. The device is small, easy to transport and move from pl to place, it comes with a power cord, the usb device and a USB cable.

There are other devices to recharge controllers, but they are big and hard to move, I fully recommend this adaptor.

I bought this not only to charge PS3 controllers but anything that needs a USB port to charge. I can use it on my GPS, my Zune, my cell phone etc. I can even plug this into a cigarette plug adapter that's in my car and charge my electronics on the go. It is essentially just an octopus with a middle rectangle that all the other cords plug into. It can easily reach from the wall socket and lay flat on the floor. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to charge anything USB related.

Buy PS3 AC Adaptor Now

The PS3 AC adapter makes it possible to charge up to two wireless devices via USB 2.0, by plugging the adapter into a wall socket, then plugging the devices into the adapter. The PS3 AC adapter was manufactured with the PS3 console in mind but the adapter itself is pretty much universal and will charge most any device that will except USB 2.0 inputs. Once the adapter has finished charging the devices, it will stop sending energy. This is evident in Dualshock 3 controllers or handheld devices that have power LED indicators equipped on them. When the power LED lights stop flashing and shut off in most cases, you know your device is charged and ready for use. The adapter is most handy for PS3 wireless accessories in general since shutting off the PS3 means you can't charge any device attached to it. I have multiple PS3 accessories and I can't stand attaching USB cables to my accessories while i'm playing my PS3. It's very convenient then to be able to play to my heart's content and at the end of the day, be able to shut the PS3 off and still charge the various accessories I used. The AC adapter for PS3 comes in three separate parts out of the box that are easy to set up and easy to use. The adapter box portion of the package can be de-equipped at any time from the plug portion and can be substituted for use with multiple Sony accessories such as the PSP external battery charger, even the PSP AC adapter box itself. You can also USB charge your PSP handheld using the PS3 AC adapter though this would take longer than simply plugging your PSP into the wall itself. The AC adapter also contains a 6 foot USB-USB mini b cable that matches the one packed in with a new PS3 system so that you can charge any PS3 accessory away from the system itself straight from the retail package. It's fairly priced at around 20 dollars give or take and is a recommended accessory for PS3 gamers with multiple wireless devices.

so i have tried out a few other chargers before this one had be released from sony. the one thing i did not like about the others is you would have to unplug it to stop it from using power.

the Sony PS3 AC Adaptor on the other hand only uses power when it is charging the controller it self which is a great plus when you plug your dead controller in and leave it over night.

the product comes with a extra USB cable (Type A Mini-B) but only has two USB slots which to me does not matter seeing i only need to charge one controller at a time.

also this product is great for for not having to plug your controller in to your PS3 (which i hated doing)

Want PS3 AC Adaptor Discount?

No PS3 is complete without this charger. Forget those fancy docks just for controllers because this will charge your Bluetooth keypad and headset as well. I even hooked up my iPod to this baby and it charged as well.

A MUST PURCHASE INDEED.

I bought two of these for House of the Dead: Overkill. I have the sharpshooter but for that game the pistols just made more sense. Besides, I admit to wanting to go all "Chow Yun Fat" on my PS3 so I can double pistol against the computer and feel like a badass :-)

In a straight up comparison to the Sharpshooter, well, there is no comparison. If you want to buy ONE shooting peripheral for the move, the Sharpshooter is it. It's more than just a piece of plastic surrounding your controller, it's something you plug the Move controller (and the nav controller) into. It remaps your buttons to create a completely immersive experience while playing shooters. It stabilizes your aim. It's a magnificent device. It's only drawback is that it's a two handed rifle which doesn't always make sense in every single game.

This is by far the best PISTOL type peripheral I've used on the Move. It's inexpensive but not cheaply produced. If you've bought the crappy cheap plastic gun peripherals that were out when Move launched, you'd immediately notice this is a better product. It's made of a better quality of plastic and offers a bit more stability. It has a feature where it rumbles when you squeeze the trigger, but the Move controller has rumble features too it's kind pointless unless you want a more dramatic feel in your hands.

If I said anything bad about this peripheral, it's that it really is simply just a piece of plastic that goes around your move controller. But that's what this is! It's light and compact but also more stable than your typical cheap plastic water-pistol type pistol peripheral that is out for the Move. A "reload" button on the bottom clip (like the sharpshooter has) would be preferred to the rumble option for me personally.

For the price, this appears to be exactly what you'd want in a pistol peripheral. If there's a better one for the Move I haven't come across it yet.

Note: This move gun requires you to insert a move controller.

The Nyko Perfect Shot is similar in size to cheaper guns but i feel it is much better for a few reasons.

1. Pulling the trigger doesn't make a squeaking sound in the spring, this would get annoying as i have a gun that does.

2. It feels pretty comfortable in your hand.

3. The vibrate function that uses 2 AA batteries (included) i'm still unsure about but it can be turned on or off with a switch

overall this is a pretty decent move gun that is only for straight up shooter games. which is the only reason i wanted it.

Tried others but this one was the best (in the class). Very comfortable, trigger feels perfect and it has a built in vibration motor which is very nice. Solid gun and great price. What more do you want?

This product works great with the Move. I looked around at different Move accessories for shooting games and most of the reviews were negative. So I came across the Nyko Perfect Shot and I read mostly good things about it. I placed an order in for two Perfect Shots, and not only did they come in a timely manner but I was pretty impressed by the quality of the product, very durable. It also came with batteries for the rumble feature which was really cool. I only wish they would have come in black or another color but overall this is a good product and I recommend it for anyone looking for a shooting accessory for their PS Move.

For games like Razing Storm, House of the Dead, and Heavy Fire (yes, check it out) that use Move for on-rails shooting/light gun style games, this was a great gun. I have a pair of these now and with the Move inserted this thing has some serious heft that feels weighty in your hand. Balance is good and the trigger is responsive. Included batteries allow you to turn on force feedback with every trigger pull. At a sub-$10 price this is worth the money.

Thrustmaster VG Thrustmaster T500 F1 Racing Wheel Add On

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $199.99
Sale Price: $162.98
Today's Bonus: 19% Off

This Wheel is great for F1 2011 on PS3. Everything else is a matter of adjustment for this type of wheel and your style. My understanding is that F1 wheels are 270 degree rotation in real life. So, I found for a lot of GT5 driving is better on original T500 RS wheel but, F1 still works well minus the rotation issues, F1 Add-on is a nice buy if you hate the T500 RS original shifting paddles. On the PC you can make adjustments for the wheel to work the way you want in fact you need to have installed a firmware update for the wheel to work correctly with PC or PS3.

The F1 Wheel is really for F1 2011 fans at current price for full wheel.

Overall happy with the add-on not sure about full T500 F1 you would want to have T500 RS GT5 wheel for the TH8 RS shifter for a good example. I hope Thrustmaster makes a GT5/6 type wheel with F1 style paddles that would be the best of all worlds for the non-F1 2011 fans.

The wheel is made completely out of plastic. For 200 dollars you expect better materials. All center gages are fake. The five supposed buttons around the center ferrari gage are stikers. Over all don't buy. A waste of money, the original wheel attached to the t500 is of better quality. Hope this helps.

Needless to say, this is an expensive "add-on" but still well worth it if you play Formula1 a lot and have some some spare change lying around. The firmware in the wheel has to be updated in order for the housing to recognize the wheel. The download worked exactly as described and the wheel functions normally. Far and away, the most significant feature of this wheel is the fact that the paddle shifters rotate with the wheel like every other wheel on the market (with the exception of the T500RS). I also discovered a feature not frequently talked about but true to actual F1 wheels ..... you can actually upshift and downshift with either paddle. If you configure the game to upshift with the right paddle and downshift with the left (customary) you can downshift with the right and upshift with the left by pushing the paddles forward instead of pulling them towards you. It may not sound like much but it can free one hand while you answer the phone or take a sip of coffee and still being able to up and down shift when needed with the remaining hand. The large rotary dials in the center section are non-functional and are visual esthetics only. The push buttons, toggle switches and two rotary thumb-wheels provide all the functions normally programmed by any game. Some people have complained about the buttons being hard to access while driving but this is a subjective perspective. It feels difficult at first, especially if you are switching from a wheel with the buttons closer, but after a couple days of racing, they fall into place accordingly. Same can be said for the D-Pads .... they are smaller and stiffer and feel different, but they just require getting used to them, that's all. Also, and very importantly, the GT wheel and the F1 Ferrari wheel can be switched out with each other in about 30 seconds once you've done it once. The wheel comfort isn't as good as the GT wheel but nothing to be concerned about.

Why would this be a collector piece if the dials are not real and it really serves no purpose other than having the little Ferarri horse on it? Stupid if you ask me. Parts of it are metal, but it is still a plastic piece of junk. I certainly would expect more for the money they want for it. At least my porsche wheel is real like the real thing.

I bought this wheel because the shifter in my regular TM T500RS was shifting two gears at the time. The process to get this fixed was painfully long with many e-mail exchanges. It took me at least a month and one half to get the original TM T500RS wheel's shifter fixed. So, in the mean time I bought the F1 adder so that I could continue playing. The bad thing is that after six or seven months of owning this F1 adder it too developed a shifting problem. The shifting mechanism has lost its "click" when I shift gears and it sometimes misses shifts. Very frustrating! Because of the numerous problems I have encountered with TM customer services department and the apparent products' sub-par quality, or in some cases, poor design of some key components, I have decided to throw these toys in the trash and I will be buying other brands that may not perform as well when playing but at least they will last a reasonable lenght of time!

Calibur11 Battlefield Vault (PS3)

This product is a must for any Battlefield fan out there, it looks awesome, it keeps your PS3 well ventilated, it's very sturdy and holds one PS3 controller which I found to be very handy as I no longer misplace them.

On the front it features a light-up claymore which is powered by batteries(supplied & pre-inserted), it has three light modes: solid, fade & flash.

It's also extremely easy to set-up, just need a Philips screwdriver to get best results.

Not much more I can say rather than it's a simple yet awesome looking case for the PS3, would recommend!

Click Here to Read More Reviews >>

This PS3 case looks pretty cool I'll admit. For all those FPS fans (COD/Battlefield/etc), this is a great little touch to add to your PS3 slim model. This ONLY fits the PS3 slim model so those with the older fatter PS3's, too bad. It also won't fit the newer slimmer model PS3. The claymore on the side lights up which is really cool looking but doesn't really add any other functional features obviously. There is also an attachment that will allow you to hang your controller on the case as well.

My biggest gripe with this case is that it scratched parts of my PS3. The interior of the case is just plastic with no sort of lining or anything like that. Primarily the corners of my PS3 were scratched as well as part of the disc loading area were scratched. While this might not be a huge issue for most people, I would think that addition of some lining in the case would prevent this issue. You could probably buy some cheap material from a craft store to line the interior of the case but that's an added hassle IMO. Since I use an external fan and have a charging dock for my controllers, I can't really use this case at all which kinda sucks. Seeing as this is only for aesthetics, it's up to you whether it's worth the money or not. For me, I think the external fan is more useful than this so I have to pass on this item.

That said, it is cool looking and does add that extra special touch to your PS3.

Want to see the bonus content in The Last of Us: Survival Edition? Check out my video review to see it with your own two eyes.

this is my short review and opinion of THE LAST OF US-Survival edition. the package includes:

#1 a steel book case for the game

#2 the first comic book issue of The last of us: American dreams By Dark Horse

#3 The art of THE LAST OF US (HARDCOVER) book

#4 the sights and sound DLC pack

#5 Official game soundtrack

#6 PS3 dinamic Theme

#7 PSN avatars: Winter Joel and ellie

Before i begin i advice DO NOT READ THE ART BOOK UNTILL YOU BEAT THE GAME. i know this because i let my friend read the book wile i started playing the game and he said the are SPOILERS in the book because the book goes to every part of the game. now that thats out of the way i would like to say this is one of the best games in resent times. The Graphic's are absolutetly amazing almost looking like a next generation game. gameplay is top noch amazing, this is NOT a Pray and Spray Shooter (like the call of duty series) this is a survival game, you do not have infinity ammo so shoting your way out is not the smartest action to take. there is an amazing implemented steath sistem which you can use to either take down your enemies or sneak pass them (thou sneaking past them is not always an option) in this game you also craft materials such as health kits, molotovs, shivs, smoke boms and spike grenades by using materials you find in the game, and upgrade weapons and impover you survival skill's by finding parts and pill's in the game. there is still action in this game, the brawling mecanics blended with the animations are one of the best of all time, even better than uncharted which is hard for me to say. the shooting mecanics are also prety awesome. everything all blended together is amazing, the animation effect between caracters on cutscenes or on in game cutscenes or in the gameplay is incredible. I HIGHLY recomend this game to everybody. i know and dont know. and thats only the game itself, the survival edition will give you even more extras on top of the game (if you into that kind of stuff like me) this is and amazing masterpiece game inside an amazing package with an amazing deal.

This review is for the Survival Edition and not just the game itself, which I will review once I start playing further into it.

What you get:

*Steelbook Game Case

*#1 Issue of The Last Of Us, American Dreams

*The Art of The Last Of Us

*The steelbook game case is great. It's all black and white with Ellie's face on the front side and Joel's face on the backside. The inside of the case is in color and has the voucher and stickers. All very well done.

*#1 issue of The Last Of Us: American Dreams comic by Neil Druckmann. This first issue sold out and they had to do a reprint, this issue that comes in the Survival Edition has a variant cover, pretty sweet overall. It's the standard single issue length of a comic, a little over 20 pages. This 4 part mini-series should be concluding in July.

*The Art of The Last Of Us was the main reason I wanted this. The hardcover is great, glossy and clean looking. Tons of pictures inside as well. If you got the Art of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (also a Naughty Dog game, like I need to tell any of you) this "Art of" book is very similar. Character development and design as they refined and honed in on the final look, level design and lay-out, great computer and hand rendered 3D models and texturing. At 170 pages you get to see a whole lot of the talent and attention to detail that went into making this game.

*One sheet with the DLC voucher code for the Sights and Sounds DLC pack with the Soundtrack download, Dynamic Theme and Joel and Ellie avatars.

*Two different Naughty Dog logo stickers.

*The Game*

I am a huge Naughty Dog Fan. I love Uncharted more than any other game series to date. So I have been eagerly awaiting this game. Basically the only complaint I have heard about this game is it's too short, at around only 12 hours of gameplay. People said the same thing about Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception. I thought it was the perfect length and made for easy replay since it doesn't drag on. If you are like me and have been anxiously awaiting this game, you have undoubtedly been watching gameplay footage for the last year and seen how the controls are fluid and smooth for this third person game just like uncharted. So far, there is the right amount of action, cut scenes, sneaking and exploring, granted I have not gotten very far. The detail, the lighting effects, the music by world famous composer Gustavo Santaolalla (The Motorcycle Diaries, Brokeback Mountain) hits hard and dramatic and is intense. This isn't a typical post-apocalyptic zombie game, this is a survival game (Think Manhunt meets Uncharted meets Resident Evil 4), with the best cinema scenes done in a game that don't take you out of it but drop you even deeper into the perfection that is The Last Of Us, sure to be the Game Of The Year. Most everyone is scoring this game high and saying it is a masterpiece. So far I would agree. The controls are very similar to Uncharted, not too sluggish and the platforming in smoother than Uncharted. There is a lot of profanity which may bother some, and a lot of gore as well. I will update as I get further along in the game. So far, no glitches or frame rate issues or anything to complain about.

*UPDATE 6/16*

I'm nearly 50% complete and don't want to put the controller down. This game is intense, the "clickers" scare the crap outta me. My girlfriend sat and watched me play for nearly 2 hours, she couldn't believe how real everything was. The physics in this game are great, when roaming a half collapsed, tilted building, things roll the direction the building is leaning. The flash light effects are great, the batteries get low and you have to shake the controller to get your flashlight to keep working. The sound design is amazing. So far my only complaint is cycling through weapons is a bit clunky, especially when you're fighting for your life. I've died maybe like 5 times. My girlfriend kept asking me how I knew where to go and what to do, and it's really all due to the amazing level design, everything is so intuitive. Also, there was an autosave glitch day one that Naughty Dog has already fixed with patch 1.01. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Read Best Reviews of The Last of Us: Survival Edition Here

I am going to compose this review in two parts. First: the quality of the Survival Edition (contents, impression of the items, & etc). The second part will pertain to the gameplay itself.

Onward!

Part One:

As mentioned in other reviews, the Survival Edition (which retails at $79.99; although, if you didn't pre-order it, you may not be able to find a copy at that price) comes with a few things that separate it from the standard edition. Three of those things come in the package itself (which is an over-sized version of the game box, designed to accommodate the art book): the hardcover art book, a variant cover of the Dark Horse "The Last of Us" comic book #1, and the game in a steelbox case. The other perks that owners of the Survival Edition (henceforth referred to as SE) obtain come through a special pre-order code. This code allows the gamer to download Playstation Avatars of the two main protagonists, as well as the game's soundtrack. Players need to enter the code through the Playstation Store via their home computer or directly from your PS3.

Impressions:

So far, I am in love with the SE. While the avatars and the soundtrack are nice, the comic and the art book more than make up for the additional cost of the game. The hardbound book is beautiful and has artwork of the various denizens (and heroes) found within the world of The Last of Us. The comic tells a story about the teenage girl (who is pictured on the game box) and gives you a little bit of insight into who she is and how she came to be within Boston. My impression is that the comic was a bit loose in the narrative; I suspect that it is setting up the rest of the plot for the other three comics being released by Dark Horse. While interesting, I feel that the art book is the better bonus of the two.

All-in-all, if you have the extra cash and can afford to pay for the SE, get it. The game is wonderful, and having access to the artwork and a bit of the background story for one of the protagonists is just amazing.

Part Two:

Controls, Music, and Graphics:

The Last of Us, developed by Naughty Dog Software (home of the acclaimed Uncharted series as well as Jak & Daxter), follows in the footsteps of other Naughty Dog games. That is, The Last of Us (TLoU going forward) is a gorgeous game with an expansive world to explore. The music is simply beautiful and helps so much with the atmosphere; between the gorgeously-rendered environments, amazingly-detailed characters, and an orchestral soundtrack, the game shows the care and passion that the developers at Naughty Dog have. With the weather and day/night effects, the world of TLoU comes alive. Driving rain obscures your vision, darkness envelops you at night, forcing you to use your flashlight to see. Music plays in the background, subtle, rising in a crescendo during tense moments of gameplay. The music is something that you may not always take note of, but you definitely notice whether or not it is missing when the environment is silent.

In regards to the atmosphere, Naughty Dog borrowed from its predecessor, Uncharted. That is not to say that it copied the story or the characters, rather, Naughty Dog used their experience with creating a gorgeous world for the setting of TLoU. Plants have individual leaves, limbs, and flowers. When the wind is blowing, you see them wave in response to the drafts, rustling as they would in real life. During a thunderstorm water cascades in sheets; the lightning briefly illuminates the landscape and thunder rumbles overhead while you are moving through the world in an attempt to find shelter. Shadows change as the lighting source differs; illuminating an object with your flashlight casts different shadows depending upon the angle of the light. Details like this bring the world of TLoU to life, drawing in the player and immersing them in the apocalyptic ruins of Boston, Massachusetts.

Controls within the game are fairly easy to adapt to, yet sometimes I found that manipulating your hand-held item in a frenetic setting can sometimes be frustrating. The game has the controls configured so that you can swap through your inventory by using the D-pad, aiming with L1, shooting/attacking with a weapon is mapped to R1, and using a first aid kit is accomplished by selecting the kit and then holding down the "X" button. Since first aid kits take a few moments to use, you have to make sure that you are safe from attack for the duration of healing yourself. This is where things can get hairy: if you are dealing with a room full of baddies, the AI is such that they will move to any sound that you make. The AI is also smart; they will cry out, alerting other nearby bad guys to your presence and will pursue you for quite a while, going around obstacles and climbing over things (if necessary) to get to you.

While all of this makes for a tense gaming experience, shuffling through your weapons to use a shiv (melee) or finding which type of gun you wish to use can be frustrating. In one instance, shortly after I acquired the revolver, the game prompted me to switch to it from my currently-equipped gun by selecting it with the D-pad and holding down "X". It took me a couple of minutes to accomplish this; I repeatedly followed the directions as shown on the screen but the game did not seem to recognize the command right away. Adding to the irritation is the fact that the game would not allow me to move forward or do any other task until I successfully completed the action. Fortunately, however, the moments when things like this happen are not frequent. As the game progressed I was able to use the hand-held items more fluidly, minimizing my damage from attackers.

Story:

This is where The Last of Us shines. As the title implies, TLoU is about the surviving members of the human race, nearly decimated twenty years prior to the main storyline. The game opens with the protagonist's daughter sleeping on the couch. Soon he walks in, waking her. She stayed out on the couch, even though it was nearly midnight, to give her father his birthday present: a watch. After that it is bedtime: you find yourself controlling the daughter after a mysterious phone call in the middle of the night. You go searching for your father and find the house empty... the television is on the den, and a newscast about some sort of riot is on. It is near your home!

Finally your father runs in the house, slamming the patio door behind him. He tells you to stay inside, away from the windows and doors... and then his crazed neighbor breaks through the glass and charges him. Your father shoots him... to your horror, and then the story takes off.

The basic plot of TLoU is nothing new: an infection by a mysterious disease spread like wildfire through humanity, those afflicted going crazy and attacking others. The disease vector is spores, and indeed, those infected look to have some sort of mushroom-like fungi growing on their skin. Twenty years after that fateful birthday night, you wake up again, only this time you are the father. What remains of society is gathered into zones that are kept under marshal law. Ration cards are the currency of the day; survival is a cruel allusion to the game's title.

Soon you will find yourself on a quest to cure the disease plaguing humanity, joining your partner-in-survival Tess and a strange teenage girl thrust upon you under strange circumstances. Suddenly dodging the curfew and outwitting fellow survivors becomes child's play as you adventure through the decimated world of TLoU.

Overall:

Pros:

1) Engaging story; truly addicting gameplay

2) Excellent camera work

3) Beautiful graphics, music, and sound effects

4) Voiceovers rock!

5) Huge environment to explore

6) AI is very intelligent; the baddies WILL find you and WILL do everything that they can to kill you

7) Simple menu system to create weapons, improve your stats, and to view items collected

8) The art book and comic are beautiful (for those who purchased the Survival Edition)

9) Free online play is you buy a new copy

Cons:

1) There are a few glitches; from "shimmer" with the graphics to the bullets from my rifle repeatedly being ejected from the gun (it is bolt action).... when the gun is strapped to my back

2) Quick-swapping weapons is confusing at first; remembering which combination of buttons to push to swap out guns after using a Molotov cocktail, for instance, can waste precious time until you have acquainted yourself thoroughly with the controls

3) Although rare, if any of your in-game partners cross in front of your character on a narrow path, they will keep trying to get behind you while you try to push forward, resulting in a chopping movement forward

4) Online play costs $9.99 extra if you buy a used edition

I waited anxiously for this title, and I can honestly say that I am glad that I did. The gameplay is fun and challenging; the story is engaging, and the bonuses from the Survival Edition are very much worth it. The Last of Us was one of the most-anticipated titles of the year, and after playing it for the last two days, I can definitely agree. TLoU is a mixture of many genres, with some platforming (à la titles like Assassin's Creed), some stealth (think Metal Gear), and some shooting. You have to survive, and in order to progress in this game, you need to be aware of your environments, your inventory, and your skills. Do you want to go through, guns blazing? Or do you want to toss a bottle to create a distraction so that you can sneak up and shiv a baddie? The choice is yours, and your decision will mean the difference between surviving... and death.
