More On: NYKO
Dan sends his report on Nyko. I'm just posting it on his behalf...

One of our last appointments at CES was with the good folks over at Nyko.  Chuck, John and I were able to get some hands-on demos and a look-see at the Nyko product lines for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Playstation 2 and Playstation 3.  To say we came away impressed would be a mild understatement.  Click on the MORE link to see some of the info about the products and our impressions......


One of our last appointments at CES was with the good folks over at Nyko.  Chuck, John and I were able to get some hands-on demos and a look-see at the Nyko product lines for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Playstation 2 and Playstation 3.  To say we came away impressed would be a mild understatement.  Below are some of the info about the products and our impressions......

Xbox 360

The majority of of the Nyko product line for the Xbox 360 has already been released, so we wont go into great detail.  However, a few items we hadn't yet seen were the Multi-Reader 360 and the Zero controller (debuting) for the Xbox 360.

The Multi-reader 360 just screams flexibility.  It supports up to 3 USB devices, can read the four most common flash memory (Smart Media, Compact Flash, Sony Memory Stick and Secure Digital) and is powered by the USB connection.  While it may look a little funky with so many things connected, it would allow someone to use up to four wired controllers, listen to music through a MP3 player or view photos and play music off a memory card.  This looks to be a good product if your Xbox 360 is reaching maximum connectivity.

The Zero controller for Xbox 360 (debuting at the show) is a very slick unit we were fortunate enough to demo at the show with Call of Duty 3.  A couple of design standouts were the grip and wireless connectivity.  The Zero for 360 is designed to allow a gamer with any sized hands to be able to use the unit in comfort.  A great example is that the three of us all have different sized hands and held the Zero at different pressure points, but were in agreement that it fit into our hands naturally.  The fact that the Zero is wireless normally wouldn't be anything to get excited about, but with this being the first third-party controller for the 360 that doesn't need a cord to the console is a major breakthrough.  A rechargeable battery pack and USB charging cable complete the package.

 

Nintendo Wii

With the launch of the Nintendo Wii less than two months in the past, Nyko has a large quantity of products available that we were able to take a look at.  The Wii product line features the ChargeStation, HD-Link and Wireless sensor Bar.  The DS products included the ProPoint Pack and the ChargerGrip Lite.

The ChargeStation for Wii looks to be a great add-on for any Wii owner.  It includes two NiMH batteries with grips and recessed contact points and a vertical dock.  While inspecting it, the thing that caught my eye immediately was the addition of the rubberized non-slip grips.  Not only did it make the Wii-mote fit more naturally in my hand, I felt more comfortable with my motions while using it on bowling.  The dock itself allows two Wii-motes to sit in an upright position begging to be grabbed quickly and put to use.  I also appreciated the recessed contact point on the back, which should help prevent corrosion.

Another Nyko product that is a smart buy looks to be the HD-Link for Wii.  It appears to be solidly built with an ideal 8' length and comes in at $10 cheaper than the official Wii version.

A cool addition to the lineup was the Wireless Sensor Bar for the Wii.  It operates off four 'AA' batteries and will give you approximately 30 hours of use.  It appears to be a bit heftier than the official Wii bar (a good thing) and extends the range to 25 feet.  It will also alert users when running low on battery and has an auto shut off feature to conserve juice.

 

Nintendo DS

The ProPoint Pack for DS included a pair of internally lit stylus that were the thickness of a large pen.  They had snappy neon colors and were comfortable to grip.

The Charger Grip Lite for the DS is a slick product that not only allows up to 8 hours of additional gameplay to your DS with the lithium-ion battery, but adds a comfortable grip (similar to a console controller) to the bottom of the DS.  When I picked it up, the unit felt balanced and comfortable in my hands and would definitely be of help during marathon game play.  The best thing is that it works with your existing DS lite charger.

 

Playstation 3

Like the Wii, the Playstation 3 is only a couple months old, but Nyko has made a great effort in providing some unique and quality solutions available to gamers.  The unveiling of the Zero for PS3 was the big catch, but the rest of the product line has some good looking accessories including the Dual Charger, ChargeBase, Wireless Headset, Play adapter and the Intercooler.

The PS3 Zero Controller appears to be a solid option for those looking for a wireless third-party controller.  It's design is similar to the PS2 version including wireless connectivity and the aluminum panels to help dissipate heat.  While handling it, the comfort factor was evident as it just felt right in my hands.  Most of what I mentioned in the Xbox 360 impressions holds true for the PS3 version including a rechargeable battery pack and USB charging cable.

One of the more practical products was the Dual Charger for the PS3.  This device allows you to charge your PS3 controllers with a USB connection without having to leave your PS3 on.  By plugging the unit into a wall outlet, the PS3 can be powered off, yet your controllers are ready to roll when you are.  It can also charge any other device that utilizes USB connections for charging.

My personal favorite was the Charge Base for PS3.  This handy device allows up to four PS3 controllers to charge at one time.  It sits on a flat surface and the design allows for quick grab-and-go when you need a controller and are ready to game.  It appears to be solidly built, and the design not only looks cool, but is extremely practical.

Nyko also introduced a Bluetooth enabled Wireless Headset for the PS3.  It was lightweight and appeared to fit comfortably in the ear.  It is to have 8 hours of battery life while utilizing Bluetooth 2.0 technology.

The Play Adapter for PS3 is a unique piece of equipment that is designed to allow your PS2 peripherals to hook up to your PS3.  This would include Racing Wheels and the Guitar Hero controllers.  It was built sturdy enough and appears to be the perfect gadget to bridge last-gen with Next-gen.  by the way, the Nyko representatives said it will support the Guitar Hero II wireless controllers.

The last PS3 product we took a look at was the Intercooler.  Much like its Xbox 360 cousin, the Intercooler for the PS3 passed the eyeball and touch tests.  At first glance, the Intercooler was all but invisible, with the finish and design allowing it morph right into the PS3 chassis.  We all had to take a closer look to figure out where the PS3 ended and the intercooler began.  As for how it well it does its job....we all agreed that the Intercooler removed a significant amount of heat off the PS3 units and made a noticeable temperature difference when we did comparison touches (no jokes please!).

 

Playstation 2

Not to be forgotten, Nyko had available the FrontMan Wireless Guitar and the Zero controller for the PS2.  These products were great additions to the Playstation 2 console and laid the frame work for the Next-gen platforms to have their own more refined versions.

 

GamingNexus.com plans to provide full reviews on these products as they become available from Nyko.

Using America's Army technologies Walter Reed Army Medical Center gives soliders the skills to drive army strong

by: Nathan - posted: 11/22/2008 2:24 PM - Comments (0)
Many private and public companies, corporations, scientific studies and even the military turn to video game technologies when they want to simulate real life situations. Technology and services from the Army Center for Enhanced Performance, America's Army, GM Mobility, General Motors Automotive Service Education Program at the Community of Baltimore County, Bruno Independent Living Aids and other businesses from the DC area were chipped in to give wounded servicemembers a very useful tool. A state-of-the-art driving simulator that will help them return to driving independence by allowing them and their therapists to gauge how best to get them back on the road. I bet it even has a "support our troops" bumper sticker on the back. [READ MORE]

Prince of Persia goes gold

Less than three weeks away, Ubisoft's beautifully envisaged Prince of Persia has gone gold.  Even though it's headed to the presses, it's still not too late for the free Limited Edition Upgrade if you pre-order.  The Limited Edition comes with:
  • Limited Edition packaging [which often means a unique slip cover that gets thrown away]
  • An exclusive look at the making of Prince of Persia
  • A Prima digital mini-strategy guide full of developer's secrets
  • A digital art book chronicling the game's journey from concept to winner of Best Artistic Design at E3 2008
  • The original soundtrack scored by composer Inon Zur
  • [Plus the catch-all] And much more...

Rock Band DLC strikes a "Jesus Christ Pose" with the "Red Devil"

by: Randy - posted: 11/21/2008 10:54 PM - Comments (0)
Heads up on Tuesday's Rock Band releases.  The Killers will have a triple-pack featuring Hot Fuss's "Mr. Brightside" and "Smile Like You Mean It"; there's also "Spaceman" on there, but I have to confess that I have no idea what that track is.  Plus an '80s shred master, Yngwie (pronounced ING-vay) Malmsteen, has his own triple-pack:  "Caprici Di Diablo," "Damnation Game," and "Red Devil."  Note the preoccupation with Beelzebub.  But not to be outdone, the band formerly known as Burn the Priest, Lamb of God brings "Laid to Rest" as the top-tier example of their "pure American death metal."  Fun for the whole family!  And Soundgarden rounds out Tuesday's releases with "Jesus Christ Pose" (no, next Tuesday is not a Christian music extravaganza) and "Pretty Noose."  All very uplifting stuff for the Rock Band audience.

Tabula Rasa shutting down

by: John - posted: 11/21/2008 1:41 PM - Comments (2)
First General British leaves NCSoft and now Tabula Rasa is going to be shutting down as well. NCSoft has made a post stating that the game will be turned off on February 28th, 2009. For those that want to play, it'll be free starting January 10th, 2009 so you get a month and change of free play if you want to try it out. I remember Richard Garriot talking about this venture many, many moons ago at E3 and it's sad to see it didn't have the success that we thought it would. It was a long time coming and a short time here.

Grand Theft Auto IV PC has some cool new features, out December 2

by: John - posted: 11/21/2008 9:14 AM - Comments (0)
The PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV is coming out on December 2nd with cool new features. First off, there's going to be an additional radio station where you can stick in your own MP3s. The big new feature though is the Social Club TV where you can record in game footage in both single and multiplayer games. Use the built in editor to change camera angles, audio, speed, and add special effects. Create your own video and share it with others. Anyone can watch but members are the only ones that can post videos. Sounds pretty slick and I might have to pick it up on the PC to finish off what I started on the 360 before my disc died.

Sony says you must put trophies in your game starting in 2009

by: John - posted: 11/21/2008 7:17 AM - Comments (0)
Come January 2009, all games must support the trophy system on the PlayStation 3 Videogamer reports. This seems like an obvious request to me as Sony has spent a considerable amount of time and man power to implement a feature like that into their system. Now we'll see some consistency in the system knowing that any game in the future will let you earn trophies... if you are into that sort of thing.

Crafting my New Xbox Experience avatar

by: Randy - posted: 11/21/2008 1:34 AM - Comments (2)
PhotobucketDo you hear what I hear?  That's the sound of my Xbox 360 no longer hitting Boeing jet decibels when Fable II is spinning in the tray.

Thanks to the crispy fresh NXE (New Xbox Experience), I download Peter Molyneux's ear-bleedingly-loud-in-the-tray role-playing game from the disc and onto the hard drive.  It took a grand total of 12 minutes.  And, let me be frank for just a moment, there's absolutely nothing else I did for 12 minutes this week that gave me the warm-fuzzy feeling that I'm feeling right now with Fable II.  In Fable II, if you're still running it from the disc, you don't have to do anything more than stand around an uneventful town square and you'll have to engage your 5.1 speakers at 80% just to hear what the in-game town crier is shouting right next to you.  But now?  The gravel-churning sound from my 360 has ceased.  Calmed itself.  Found peace and understanding with itself.

And it has graciously granted me a slice of that same peace.

But then with Grace, my wife, nestling next to me on the couch -- though she doesn't know why I'm dragging her in front of the 360 -- I open up the Avatar Customization screen.  The bright NXE spectrum splashes against the backdrop and I gingerly hand the controller to Grace.  "Okay," I say, no hubris in my tone, "it's time to make me!"

With very little hesitation in her movement, Grace makes a slightly-below-medium height fellow with caramel-colored skin, hair black and slightly slicked back, then skillfully fits him into a pair of Timbalands, dark jeans, and a straight-lined jacket.  Not bad, I say.  Not bad at all.

I grow distressed, however, when she keeps trying to adjust my avatar's chubby factor.  "Is that all the further it goes to the right?"  She looks at my stomach, looks at the avatar, looks at my stomach again.  "Hm," she says.  "Maybe you'll be that skinny again.  Someday."

She then promptly puts a wedding ring on my avatar's finger and then heads for the Facial Features screen.  She flips around the options, chuckling at a few, and settles on dropping a scar over my avatar's right eye.

"Hey?" I say.

"Hey," she stops me.  "Do you want to be you, or do you actually want to be interesting?"

It's the best time of the year

Warhammer Online Destruction Epic Armor concept art

by: Randy - posted: 11/20/2008 10:54 PM - Comments (2)
It can be easy to dismiss concept art, especially when a game is already launched and the proof is in the pudding, and not in the recipe.  But it's admirable when we can take a look in-game and see just how close the digital artists got (and I'd say they got pretty durn close) -- especially within MMOs, where countless shortcuts and efficiencies have to take precedence to make for smoother online gameplay.

This batch of concept artistry is a parade of Warhammer Online's Destruction Epic Armors.  These are the suits everyone is ultimately after, and any of them would cut a frightening silhouette on a battlefield.  Developer Mythic presents the epic armor for the Zealot, Chosen, Magus, Shaman, Marauder, Squig Herder, Sorceress, Witch Elf, and Disciple of Khaine:

There's "A Shocking Turn of Events" in PS3 BioShock DLC

by: Randy - posted: 11/20/2008 10:04 PM - Comments (3)
The PS3's exclusive BioShock Add-On Game Content (put together by 2K Boston in conjunction with 2K Marin, 2K Australia and Digital Extremes) is available today for download from the PlayStation Network.  The package -- running a cool $9.99 -- includes new Trophies as well as the new Game Plus gameplay mode.  Two of the three new rooms cite "wits" as a deciding factor to get you through, while the third professes to be the most "grueling" challenge yet offered in the world of Rapture.
  • A Shocking Turn of Events -- A Little Sister is trapped atop a Ferris wheel in an undisclosed location in Rapture.  Using ony the tools and environment around them, players must use their wits to create electricity to power the Ferris wheel and bring the Little Sister to safety.
  • The I in Team -- Using limited resources, and an even more limited arsenal, players must negotiate traps and find a way to defeat a Big Daddy using their wits instead of raw firepower.
  • Worlds of Hurt -- Step up and take on the most grueling challenge offered in the world of Rapture.  Players must battle through eight rooms of Big Daddies, Splicers and the worst that Rapture has to offer.  Accumulate Adam, build an arsenal of Plasmids, Tonics and Weaponry, and fight through to rescue the Little Sister.
I think the variety thrown into these three scenarios rather quickly draws distinctions between Dead Space and BioShock.  Despite all the neat-o things Dead Space does, I think everyone is going to have their memory jogged as to who's still the big daddy of sci-fi thrillers.

Dark Storms Gathering as EA and Black Library Spawn Second Warhammer Online Novel

by: Eva - posted: 11/20/2008 9:50 PM - Comments (0)
Long time Warhammer publisher Black Library and EA have announced the second Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning novel, "Dark Storm Rising." The work written by author Chris Wraight chronicles the realm vs realm war between Order and Chaos. Four heroes, both human and elf, must learn to work together to stop the corrupt influence of Chaos. The main characters are taken from the Knight of the Blazing Sun and Witch Hunter classes of the human Empire and the Archmage and White Lion classes of the High Elves. Unfortunately although it's quite typically, the Dwarfs aren't represented as main characters although they are the other major force of Order.

Codemasters announces DiRT 2: the dirty version

by: Randy - posted: 11/20/2008 9:34 PM - Comments (0)
Edge-of-control canyon racing in Utah.  A treacherous rally stage from Malaysia.  And the "Battersea Battle" rally-cross night races in London.  Just when you think racing games can't get any more gorgeous, Codemasters announces DiRT 2.  Colin McRae's name is still somewhere in that title, but we know who's center stage in this series now.  Yes:  the dirt. 

"[Colin McRae] could do things with a car that no one else would and that's where we're taking the series with new events at the extreme edge of rally and autosport," said Gavin Raeburn, Senior Executive Producer at Codemasters.  (Colin McRae died in a helicopter accident in September 2007.)  "It will be a great tribute to an incredible champion."

DiRT 2 will utilize the third generation of Codemasters' proprietary EGO Engine (putting twice as much visual fidelity on the screen as appeared in GRiD), with the Group N Subaru serving in the game's opening drive -- thereby making the original DiRT's ultimate car the starting point in the sequel.  Full online functionality will be in place.  DiRT 2 will simultaneously launch in 2009 for the PS3, 360, Wii, PC, DS, and PSP.

Retailers feel Wrath of the Lich King (in a good way)

by: Chuck - posted: 11/20/2008 12:26 PM - Comments (1)
Blizzard announced today that World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King sold over 2.8 million copies last week, making it the fastest selling PC game ever (until the next World of Warcraft expansion ships).   Blizzard didn't break out the sales by unit type but that's about $84 million or so in sales (based on $30 a copy) which just throws more money into the giant Blizzard money making engine.

The only semi-negative for Blizzard is that it looks like only 25% or so of it's installed userbase of 11million users upgraded.  I'm sure the rest will take their time but it's interseting to see the breakout.  [READ MORE]
