I love my Xbox 360, but when it comes to games that require using the D-Pad, I always opt for my PS3. The Playstation controller has better ergonomics for D-Pad-optimized games like fighters, classic titles, etc.
This is why i am intrigued by Microsoft’s new swiveling controller redesign. The new D-Pad can be rotated 90 degrees to change it from being a concave pad to a more pronounced cross. My only hesitation about picking one up when it launches on November 9th is the steep $64.99 price point.
Creepy Crawlers was always one of my favorite toys as a kid. Every burn I got from touching the metal tray too soon was a badge of creative honor. I made some absolutely awesome insects, and I can still smell the goop in my mind.
That’s why I was excited to hear that today only, Toys”R”Us is having a big sale on all of their Creepy Crawler items. You can find the “Creation Station” here.
My cousin, Richard, is NBC’s Chief Foreign Correspondant, and he lives an incredible life report the news from the Middle East. Occasionally, our family is lucky enough to have him back stateside. The other benefit is that he tends to do the talk show circuit, and here is his appearance from last night’s Colbert Report.
While this online side-scroller most likely will never see the light of day in the US, here is the animated trailer for the Korean-market-bound Rockman Online. Luckily, we will be getting Mega Man Universe here, and rumor has it that we’ll be seeing more of that game at PAX.
