Now here's something that I like, not reporting on tech news, but rumors about tech news. I've been hearing about rumors of tech, and I often don't report on them because these rumors don't come to fruition. At WWDC this year, Apple referenced this idea for a gaming controller, and this one would be official. This is what it...could be, and this one would be from Logitech. … [Read more...] about Rumor Friday, Part 1: An iPhone Gaming Controller from Logitech?

iMotion haptic 3D controller could bring touch to gaming
What you are seeing looks like Tom Cruise in Minority Report, but this is a Kickstarter project known as the iMotion from Intellect Motion. That is, the things on his hands. On his eyes are the Oculus Rift, which we have reported on before. The iMotion has a velcro strap to keep it on the hand, which reminds me of the Wiimote and the Wiistrap. Like the Wiimote, it has a … [Read more...] about iMotion haptic 3D controller could bring touch to gaming
The Valve Steam Controller and how it could change TV gaming
If you are not familiar with Steam, it is a way of porting some cool games to your PC. I have used it in the past, and the company announced last week that they intend to do more for the people. The first was Steam OS and a Steam Machine, which are essentially modified PCs to play Steam games on their television. Of course, you are going to need a controller to play … [Read more...] about The Valve Steam Controller and how it could change TV gaming
GameCase for iOS devices
When I first saw the GameCase, it felt familiar to me. I first thought that I had reported on it before, but I did a Search on my site and found nothing. I suppose that the closest thing that I have seen was a Wii U controller. After all, it is two halves of a controller (with D-pad, two analog sticks, and console style ABXY buttons) that have a screen sandwiched in … [Read more...] about GameCase for iOS devices
SteelSeries, Part 3: The Free Mobile Wireless Controller
Today I will conclude our SteelSeries series with the Free Mobile Wireless Controller. This does not mean that it is free, but it is a wireless controller called the Free. I can't help but compare it to the Nyko PlayPad Pro, as I just reviewed that one particular controller for Android just recently. The Free is for multiplatform control, which means it is good for iOS, … [Read more...] about SteelSeries, Part 3: The Free Mobile Wireless Controller
SteelSeries, Part 2: Sensei MLG Edition Gaming Mouse
Okay, this is the second part of my SteelSeries series. Yeah, that doesn't sound good, does it. But today is the Sensei MLG Edition Gaming Mouse. The MLG stand for Major League Gaming. I don't know if the professional gamers have a league of their own, but if they did, this is quite cool and would be the standard. I definitely have to say that it would require a major … [Read more...] about SteelSeries, Part 2: Sensei MLG Edition Gaming Mouse
SteelSeries Part 1: The Apex Gaming Keyboard
This week, I am going review a lot of interesting products from SteelSeries, who makes "professional gaming gear". I will start with the Apex, which is a keyboard designed with PC gamers, specifically MMO ones, in mind. I will start with the color colors. Not only does it have the cool side lights, but sections of the keys can light up. You can use 5 independent color … [Read more...] about SteelSeries Part 1: The Apex Gaming Keyboard
Sifteo Cubes means Intelligent Play
The Sifteo is one of those products that you really have to see in order to believe, or even just to describe. I will make my best attempt. Imagine three tiny touchscreens that you can put together to create all kinds of games. For example, you can "neighbor" two Sifteos together in order to create an effect of moving from one screen to the other. You can also flip, tilt, … [Read more...] about Sifteo Cubes means Intelligent Play
Are Nintendo’s Days Numbered?
Last week, I forgot to cover an announcement from the big N with the 2DS. A lot of people think that is a serious step down, and the commercial that I uploaded seems like a Saturday Night Live fake ad. It feels really stupid to say this, but does anyone think it is odd that Nintendo is doing something whose greatest claim is "can play 3D games in 2D"? I guess … [Read more...] about Are Nintendo’s Days Numbered?
PlayPad Pro Android Controller from Nyko
I always like reviewing products from Nyko, and I was very pleased to try out the successor to the PlayPad with the PlayPad Pro. I found that this PlayPad Pro is a definite upgrade, especially with the shape. The old looked more like the original NES controller, while this one looks as ergonomic as modern console controllers like the PS3. In fact, the PlayPad Pro bears a … [Read more...] about PlayPad Pro Android Controller from Nyko
SteelSeries announces the Siberia Elite
I have reviewed a lot of SteelSeries products before, and I will probably review more of them in the past. They have recently announced Siberia Elite Gaming Headset with Dolby technology for 7.1 virtual surround sound. The Siberia Elite has a self-adjusting suspension system connected to a sandblasted steel arc. It has leather earcups, and there are these illuminated light … [Read more...] about SteelSeries announces the Siberia Elite
New game for the Google Glass called PSYCLOPs
I think we all know that Google Glass is probably going to be the future, if it ever gets to the point where an average consumer could afford it. Yes, I really wish I could, so I could play PSYCLOPs. You can watch the video so you can see the PSYCLOPs in action. This augmented reality game is ported on a Kindle, because I can assume that a video of the AR glasses would not … [Read more...] about New game for the Google Glass called PSYCLOPs
X-Rebirth seeks to change video games
It really is great to see where we are with gaming. I think it is pretty awesome that I can walk Link through a three-dimensional world, but I am always craving more. It looks like a game known as X Rebrith is made for that. I have seen a lot of games that have wonderful backgrounds of exotic cities, but these are usually just paintings or pixels, with no way a character … [Read more...] about X-Rebirth seeks to change video games
ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
I have tried out Roccat products before, such as the Kone [+] Gaming Mouse. Now that I have had a chance to try out the Kone Pure, I can't help but compare the two. First of all, it is 91 percent of the Kone [+], in size. It has the cool cord but instead of having a 6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor, this has a 8200dpi Pro-Aim R3 laser sensor. The Kone [+] has an integrated … [Read more...] about ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
I think this would truly show your age if you remember a game known as Paperboy. There may be a lot of readers who don't know what it is, but it was a mid-eighties stand-up arcade game where you played a paperboy. The game had a bicycle handlebars as a controller, and your character dodged obstacles like cars backing up and more. Who knew that the life of a paperboy was so … [Read more...] about Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
