Guitar Grip for DS

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 | Mp3player with No Comments »

Nintendo DS (Lite) owners, rejoice! If you are envious of your friends who own home consoles and have been rocking to Guitar Hero all the while, weep no more. Guitar Hero on Tour that will be released this summer can be enjoyed to the maximum with the Guitar Grip which resides comfortably in the GBA slot.

While there are only four buttons on it, it enables you to hold the DS upright while tapping the buttons on the Guitar Grip as you tear away at your favorite songs. All you need to do then is strum the touch screen for that added dash of reality. While not as realistic as what you get on the home console controllers (read: axe), at least it beats tapping the screen like Elite Beat Agents.

Zune Games-First glimpse

Sunday, February 24th, 2008 | Mp3player with No Comments »


Microsoft had finally confirmed that games are making their way to the Zune at CES last year. Well there finally here, but by the looks of it its not a PS2 rocker even. For starters, first-gen Zunes don’t appear to be ruled out by any means, but it’s going to be dependent on the game controls.

Zauri, the sample space shooter game demoed today, uses the Zunepad, thus wouldn’t work (as well) on a Zune 30. Nothing has been decided as to whether games will universally require 2nd-gen Zunes, though. Use of the Zunepad in Zauri was as a track pad and omnidirectional — it wasn’t just up / down / left / right, as in the menus. Right now the system partitions a mere 16MB for storing games, although this might change. Right now there isn’t a professional-grade SDK to announce; all titles should initially be done up in XNA Studio. Means of distribution (i.e. games loaded through an installer, through the Zune desktop app, or through Zune Marketplace?) has not yet been decided. The first beta development tools will be out this spring. There are no plans for Zune game sharing (yet), so to play with a friend wirelessly you both must have the game on your Zune.

The Dead iPod Song

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008 | Apple, Mp3player with No Comments »

At least with the Xbox 360 you get the Red Ring of Death to inform you that things have gone south in a major way, with an iPod, you get no indication. Your iPod just won’t turn on, so you try charging it, still won’t work.

Friday, February 1st, 2008 | Mp3player with No Comments »

If this cocktail isn’t enough, it boasts at being a 6-in-1 thingie, whatever!
