GGL received the Steelseries Ikari laser mouse many moons ago, but due to a review backlog, we were only able to open it up recently. Heidi Klum helped me with the review, and pardon the bad lighting, eh?

Marcus “djWHEAT” Graham recently got a chance to use the DKTBoard keyboard, made by Everglide with input from pro gamer Brian “DKT” Flander. DKT is also the general manager of the Championship Gaming Series’ Chicago Chimera.
Here’s djWHEAT’s opinion on the keyboard.

Vanguard sticks out as one of the biggest failures in MMORPG history. The game was praised as the hardcore player’s wet dream; promising as it was, the publisher made a crucial mistake by releasing the game before it was finished. The coding was largely incomplete, and the game required extensive polishing.
Without proper coding or optimization, the players who played Vanguard felt they had been sold an unfinished product. This lead many players to cancel their subscriptions and move on to another game. Furthermore,the developers were forced to spend their time fixing coding issues after the […]
Looking back at 2007, we can see that a record amount of MMOs have been released. As World of Warcraft hit ten million subscribers — setting a new milestone in MMOs — many people look forward to see where the MMO will be in ten years.
Will World of Warcraft still be on top? Will a WoW killer be released in 2008? What can kill a MMO? To find out, we must look to other MMOs who have withered away and […]
Where I live there are no arcades, so what is a guy supposed to do if he wants to relive his childhood?
He goes the way of emulation! I decided to pull out the Dreamcast and take a trip down memory lane with one of the first games I ever played: Shinobi.
I fired it up, dropped in some virtual quarters and shazam! I was eight years old again. I also realized something else. After twenty years of playing video games, I still suck at the bonus game.
Damn you, non-animated generic ninja! […]
I was supposed to write this on Sunday, but couldn’t. It was my son’s first birthday and we had a little shindig for him. Then on Easter I got together with my family and that ended up being an all day thing. On top of all that were my two midterms yesterday and having to finish reading a book for tonight’s class.
Phew! I’ve been keeping up with the latest news and have been trying to get in some quality gaming time, but there is one genre […]
Destructoid is all agog because Fallout 3 is going to have 200 or more possible endings.
This is certainly interesting, but D-toid’s only concern here is, will it be worth it to try to play all 200?
First off, I’m suspicious that those 200 are actually all variants of a handful of real endings. “I reached the final level with the blue armor, and got the cut scene with the guy in the mustache. Now I’m going back for the red armor and the guy with the pompadour.”
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds hit retail store shelves nation wide yesterday, and while some of you may be left dumbfounded as to why you have never even heard of the title, I can promise you that if you enjoy golf games this little gem should not be missed.
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds is golf done differently. What do I mean by that? Don’t expect to be picking up a true to life golf simulator. This game adds a unique goofy twist to the game, with ridiculous characters, over the top […]
What happens when we get older? More opportunities and more responsabilities. I’ve played videogames for the better part of 2o years now and I still remember the first time I played a game: it was at the 7-11 around the corner from my house.I was six or seven and my dad would have me tag along with him and he would always let me play a game of Star Wars. I mean the oooooold school Star Wars, the one that looked like a geometry problem.
I was […]
Well boys and girls, it’s come to my attention that the amount of people wanting an arcade cabinet is growing, so I figured I would tell you the what’s what about arcade cabinets.
First, you need to cover finding a cabinet that is either a prime candidate to go in your living room, or a nice project for the weekends. These things aren’t nearly as complicated as they seem and anyone with basic computer knowledge can work on one.
To start out you need to figure out what you want to […]
Microsoft really should just throw in the towel on this one; there’s no denying that the games coming out for Xbox LIVE Arcade are suffering because of the asinine 150MB limit on DLC. The latest victim is Bionic Commando: Rearmed, the 3D remake of the 8-bit original.
Sure, Microsoft is looking out for Xbox 360 owners who don’t have hard drives, yadda yadda. This oddly incongruent business plan is the same thing that’s hurting the quality of games on the 360. The company’s got no qualms nickle-and-diming people on […]
Register for GGL now and you’ll be first in line to get more information about the Digital Games!
I’ve read my fair share of mixed commentary since the Digital Games announcement, much of it devolving to hatred for organizers, game choices, or debate over whether or not gaming is actually a sport.
In my personal opinion, though, all of these things are tertiary to the goal of getting competitive gaming and “e-sports” more mindshare in the general public. I’m not just speaking about the general gaming public, but […]
