SmartStylus

PDP also unveiled the new revolutionary wireless SmartStylus™ 1 and 2 devices for the Nintendo DS™. The patent-pending SmartStylus™ 1 and 2 both feature a vibration feedback that players using the stylus will feel based on movements and commands in the game. The SmartStylus™ 2 can include a variety of added features, including LEDs, sound and motion feedback. With the motion feedback capability, the stylus can now act as a motion input device, allowing you, for example, to hit a home run by swinging the stylus off the DS screen. The SmartStylus™ 1 will launch this fall and is pending licensing by Nintendo.

"The technologies offered by both the Gametrak Freedom™ and the SmartStylus™ tools are the first of their kind," said John Moore, senior vice president of marketing for the California-based PDP. "PDP is excited to be introducing these new technologies. They will create a new level of gaming that can be enjoyed by the whole family."

PDP enjoyed a big year in 2008, with increased sales year over year compared with 2007. The company will be introducing several new gaming products in 2009.

CES 2009: New Logitech G-Series

Finally the full view of the new Logitech G-Series gaming accessories for PC and Mac (I think). A few months back the G13 was shown off and detailed to the public but a mysterious Japanese website managed to get hold of a picture containing a prototype/photo shopped version of the above G19 keyboard, we all wondered if it was real or if it’s some random mock-up. Well CES has just kicked off and Logitech has dropped information about all of its new G-Series products which are all coming out in 2009.

Asus officially announces Eee Stick game controller

Asus has officially announced the Eee Stick, a Wii-like wireless motion-sensing game controller. First shown at Computex in June, the controller package bears a strong resemblance to Nintendo's ubiquitous Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, but is designed for use with PCs. Using the advertising tagline "Get into the swing of Gaming," Asus is no doubt hoping gamers will choose one of their low-cost PC's instead of a Nintendo console. The Eee stick will be "bundled exclusively" with some Eee PC models including the Eee Box, along with a collection of games designed to use the controller's motion-sensing technology.

Asus says the package comes with an Activation Stick, a Navigation Stick and a 2.4 GHz RF dongle. The sticks reportedly "consume very little power" providing up to three days of use, even though they are vibration-capable. Each stick runs on two standard AA batteries. The company touts a long broadcasting range of about 32 feet, and says the controllers remain connected even if when not pointed directly at the dongle.

The Eee Stick's motion sensors offer three different operating modes. The 3D Motion mode, designed for sports and action games, "responds to and reproduces movement along all axes as well as wrist rotations." The Pointing mode is, as you might expect, intended for shooting-style games and allows users to aim the controller at a target. The final mode, Tilt, reproduces the forward, backward and side motions used in racing and fight games.

Asus says the Eee stick "theoretically can be used with all PCs," but is recommended for games that are designed for it. The device is compatible with with other gaming accessories such as gamepads and keypads, the company said.

AV8R-02

Just as how we looked at Mad Catz’s upcoming line of video game accessories for the Street Fighter IV franchise, the company has also kept itself busy by focusing on genres other than beat ‘em ups - and what better way to kick off the new year than with a couple of new models for the Xbox 360 and PS3? These two joysticks are known as the Saitek Aviator Flight Stick, and they will definitely help all you flight simulator buffs enjoy a more realistic flying experience while sitting in the comfort of your living room.

A Virtual Reality rehabilitation system

Engineers at Rutgers University are using a modified version of a popular computer game to provide rehabilitation for people who have suffered strokes or other types of brain injury.

The VR rehab system is based on a Microsoft XBox game and the Essential Reality P5 gaming glove (left), which detects movements of the fingers and wrist and uses them to manipulate on-screen objects or characters.

Game Controls Fit Like a Glove

Enemy planes circle overhead, looking to take out satellite installations at your base. Your defense system consists of a 360-degree gun turret armed with heat-seeking missiles and machine guns, which you control by a virtual targeting system that follows the movement of your hand.

In theory, it's the game player's dream. A video game controlled by the mere wave of a hand, the twitch of a finger.

Zelda Crossbow Training

Zelda Crossbow Training is a target-shooting game. Practice that eye-hand coordination with your Wii Zapper. The game has nine levels and each one consists of three target shooting games. Apply simple math, and that gives you 27 mini target games in total. This is pretty intense for a shooting game since there are a lot of variations, and players are sure to enjoy each one of them because they will never grow tired of repetitive modes.

Also, your character will have a ‘development’ in Zelda Crossbow, which is quite impressive since you’ll be fully aware of your gaming growth. Primarily, the first three levels (which are comprised of nine mini target games) are available. And as the game progresses, you’ll have to unlock new levels by obtaining medals in the previous levels. You must play each set of three as a whole so that you can gain a collective score. And to add up to the challenge, each level plays on a strict time limit.

There’s a simplicity in the design of the target shooting games. You start off by shooting still objects, and as you get acclimated, the difficulty becomes harder and the game’s challenge level increases. Aside from shooting bull’s eye targets to hitting targets cascading down waterfalls in Zora’s domain, you can also enjoy the game as you fight off attacking armies of skeletons in the desert, target balloons above Hyrule castle, and infiltrate a spider den in the Faron Woods. And a lot, LOT more.

Some stages allow you to be stable in one place and give you the luxury of just pointing and shooting. But other stages allow you to move around (like 360 degrees) so you can attack targets surrounding you. Challenging, huh? But it won’t be too hard, thanks to your radar. Some levels even allow you to explore the whole area as the game lets you walk around.

If you think that Zelda is child’s play, then think again. The level of difficulty of this game ranges from relaxed target practice to mind-blowing fast-paced action. So every challenge-seeker will have a great time with Zelda Crossbow Training, especially if they use the Wii Zapper when playing. Kids can enjoy the target-shooting of this game, and the adults will be delighted with the challenges.

The graphics and music of the game is somehow similar to that of ‘The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess.’ So anyone who has played that game before will be comfortable with this one. But first timers don’t need to worry - the graphic and the sound quality of this game is stunning to cope with your gaming standards.

The Zelda Crossbow Training with Nintendo Wii Zapper is, simply put, a really fun game. Your control will be fully maximized.

Wired for sound with the new Tritton Ax Pro

I keep a close eye on things over at my favourite place for gaming accessories - Lime XB360 - especially since they started dealing in more than Xbox360 accessories.

Being a gamer on multiple platforms the idea of getting all the accessories from one place has to appeal - it’s common sense - and these guys really know their stuff. These, though, look like the headphones to get! The Tritton AXPRO headset looks amazing and - judging by the stats on the site and forum buzz - sounds amazing too. That and it can be used for the Xbox360, PS3 and the PC.

This is the only place I’ve found it in the UK and I’m extremely curious / anxious / eager to give them a try.

I’m still fairly new to the whole online gaming thing but I am a huge fan of the sound involved in gaming (see previous posts) and think that such a high-quality set of headphones are bound to do justice to the small fortunes spend in developing the soundtracks without making the neighbours think there’s a war going on in my front room. With all the money that gets spent on the sound I don’t think it’s fair to mute it when you can get such powerful headsets.

I myself had a great desire for video games during my adolescent days and that passion again arose for my son. We are great partners and he knows the right moments when to cut my pocket short. When I win a game and feel very happy, he would come and hug me and congratulate me. Then he would put forward his demand. His last demand was a Wii airplane controller. Now he knows very well that I love airplane games of wii and said that it would be fun for both of us.

I got that airplane controller for him and thanks to the controller. He now remains very busy with the wii controller and for long there have been no demands from him. Perhaps the airplane controller has saved my pocket from further expenses.
