I’ve always been a fan of Logitech and have bought quite a lot of their devices over the years. When it comes to PC peripherals, you really can’t go wrong with them.

A couple of days ago I went ahead and bought myself a Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, though for the last couple of years I’ve been enjoying the awesomeness that is the Wireless Gaming Mouse G700. I thought I’d write up a review of these two mice together and share my thoughts on how they both shape up as gaming mice and for general use.

I bought one and I couldn’t just stop there, I had to buy another… however it took me a little time to figure out which lightsaber I actually wanted to get, there are several choices and some of the choices are better than others. In the end I went for Luke Skywalker’s (though in reality it’s Anakin Skywalker’s, of course) A New Hope lightsaber, the very first lightsaber we ever see in Star Wars.

After spending a little time with it today, I’m so glad I ended up putting down the money for another one, I thought Darth Vader’s lightsaber was great… this one is exceptional.

You don’t know the power of the dark side of the Force until you’ve held the Star Wars Darth Vader Force FX Lightsaber in your hands. When I was young I used to get a broomstick handle and swing it around as if I was wielding a lightsaber, (good times…) but it’s not until now that I’ve ever owned anything that replicates the look and feel of what we’ve seen on-screen for decades now.

I’m not a lightsaber collector, and I know there are those out there who are who know the inner workings and differences between the Hasbro and Master Replica lines and such… I really just bought this because it’s something cool to own. The review will be from the point of view of those who just want to enjoy a little piece of Star Wars so I’ll probably be a lot more forgiving of the product than the die-hard collector’s out there would allow.

Sorry about the long wait between entries, I’ve been really busy redesigning StarWarsMMO.net and its forum in anticipation of the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic. But enough of that, it’s time for The Legend of Zelda!

I am a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda, so at first I was going to write a really huge entry about every little detail present in the game, but it’s pretty obvious that I’m going to have a lot of good things to say about practically all aspects of Skyward Sword in the first place. So, with that in mind, this Game Spotlight will be a lot more condensed and I’ll try not to ramble on as much as I usually do…

Ha ha, I would have posted this entry up much earlier but truth be told I was too busy actually playing the game to spend time writing about it. Even so, here it is, my thoughts on what has to be one of the best games released this generation… one that North America is missing out on!

Xenoblade, also known as Xenoblade Chronicles in Europe and Australia, formerly known as Monado: Beginning of the World, is a game that any self-respecting gamer who owns a Wii must experience. Sure, Monolith Soft’s last game, Disaster: Day of Crisis, was so terrible that it was good in a comedic sense, but this game brings them back to their former glory they once had with Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos.

There are very few people who thought this game would ever be released, and apparently there are plenty of people who never wanted this game to be released ever. Generally, the reviews posted about Duke Nukem Forever have been extremely negative, however I find it a little strange that some of the reviews I’ve read are talking about Duke Nukem being offensive in terms of his lack of political correctness rather than focusing on the flaws present within the gameplay itself.

With that in mind, I’m going to attempt to write-up my own views of the game as a fan of Duke Nukem and as someone who has being enjoying video games over a period of 20+ years. Did Gearbox Software do the right thing in bringing Duke Nukem Forever back from the brink of death? How does Duke Nukem Forever hold up against Duke Nukem 3D? Will we see more of Duke or was this a one-off event? Can I stop asking one question after another like an idiot?…

At first, I was pretty bummed out about the Australian launch line-up for the 3DS, however I did get one game that I think has made getting a 3DS at launch worth it…

I’m not really a big fan of the Tom Clancy series of games released by Ubisoft, and to be honest this is the first Ghost Recon game I’ve ever played. That said, I do realise that Shadow Wars (with “3D” attached to the end for the Australian release for some reason…) isn’t like other Ghost Recon games. Instead, it is a tactical role-playing game more along the lines of Nintendo’s Advance Wars or Fire Emblem… which is great for me since I’m a pretty big fan of both of those series.

Here we go, another Dead Space related entry for those who care… though this one won’t be as comprehensive as the others.

Just like with the first game, a comic series was created to compliment the release of Dead Space 2, though this time the comic included some playable mini-games embedded throughout the story.

As promised in the Game Spotlight for Dead Space 2, let’s have a look at one of the two media releases dealing with the events leading up to the start of Dead Space 2.

The first Dead Space animation, titled Dead Space: Downfall, was one of those “it’s so bad it’s actually good” situations, though I’m still undecided as to how I should take Dead Space: Aftermath since, overall, it’s not really as bad as Downfall.

I’ve written spotlight entries for the original Dead Space, the prequel that originally came out for Wii, Dead Space: Extraction, and the first animated movie of the series, Dead Space: Downfall… now after quite a long wait, I finally get to write one for Dead Space 2!

Ever since I played the original game, I’ve become quite a huge fan of Dead Space and rank it among the best games that have come out of what has been a very productive generation. Visceral and EA have invested a lot in the series with a collection comprising of comics, side-story games, animations, etc. Though, while there is a whole variety of media with the Dead Space name attached to it, it’s the games in the main series, starring Isaac Clarke, that are the ones you really need to pay attention to.
