PS3 first person shooters just got exponentially more enveloping: The PS3 Assault Rifle Controller

  • July 26, 2010 7:13 am

Gun controllers have been around for ages. My first taste of shooting games came way back in the day with the NES and Dunk Hunt. Many of you out there may share the same basic start to your gaming/shooting days. Those were the days, weren’t they? But we’ve moved on since those laughingly fake plastic gun days to this: The PS3 Assault Rifle.

The new PS3 controller is meticulously designed to give the gamer the look and feel of Modern Warfare 2, though the gun will work with any PS3 game with the provided USB wireless dongle. It’s interactive gaming to the max.

You see, my biggest peeve with the Wii is that the games basically suck. The graphics suck. And therefore, the overall immersion experience sucks. I want to be made to believe I’m really in the game. With the PS3′s graphics, a sick home theater, and this handy dandy Assault Rifle controller, I’ll be more in the game than ever.

Look for the PS3 Assault Rifle to drop August 2nd for a rather reasonable $65 USD.

Goldeneye 2010 making a return debut on the Nintendo Wii?

  • October 26, 2009 11:33 am

The greatest first person shooter of all time is about to make a comeback! I know I’ve reminisced about the best James Bond game ever, GoldenEye (N64) before, but another rumor fresh out of the mill has my senses piqued and inner child remembering days past. The man with the message is Craig Peck. Mr. Peck apparently spent all of July – September working on scene layout and camera animation for the upcoming “GoldenEye 2010″, a remade, souped up version of the original. Shooters aren’t everyone’s favorite game. In fact, they’re not mine either. I’m more of a Forza 3 kinda guy. But GoldenEye 64 was different. It was the FPS to emulate in the late 90′s and to some degree even today. After his three month jaunt on this secretive GoldenEye project, Mr. Peck claims to have moved on to working on LA Noire, an upcoming title from Rockstar. All I can say is I sure hope something materializes from this rumor. I don’t currently own a Wii, but a GoldenEye part 2 may just break me. Anyone else super stoked?

GoldenEye 007 new release outlook: Don’t hold your breath.

Get your tissues ready and prepare to weep. If you’re old enough to remember GoldenEye 007, (not only the greatest James Bond game ever, but one of the best games ever) and were hoping that it may make it’s way to a new console such as the Xbox Live Arcade or Wii Virtual Console, you’re going to be thoroughly disappointed. According to Rare, the company responsible for the N64 first person shooter, made it very clear that there isn’t much hope for future renditions or even ports of the game to come to modern consoles. A rather close summary would go along the lines of: “a snowball’s chance in hell”.

Again, not very encouraging to say the least. I know that I myself as well as hoards of games would have shelled out another $20-$30 to get a modern version/port of that game on new hardware. Sadly it looks as if those leaked shots of a hi-def GoldenEye “10th Anniversary Edition” are nothing more than a visual tease, taunting us from behind closed doors. god life sucks…
