When Kinect comes out later this year, you might be looking for a way to mount the device and keep it out of the way. For me, I’d like to be able to mount the device on the wall and keep it out of the way. Performance Designed Products has designed just such mounts, and they are the only ones officially licensed by Microsoft. Here’s the breakdown:

During his time at Comic-Con 2010 in San Diego, Dave “GET SOME” Oshry got some time with Visceral Games’ Dead Space 2 and got some snazzy photos of their Dead Space 2 backpack.

Jed Seigle, CEO of Treehouse Brand Stores, is the man who owns the one and only Dead Space 2 backpack (he operates Visceral Store). However, the backup should be available sometime late this year or early next year, just around the time Dead Space 2 comes out, which ..read the full article

We here at Ripten are a big fan of Logitech’s gaming products.  So when we found out they were launching a new headset, mouse and keyboard; naturally, we were psyched about it.

First, we have the new G930 Wireless Gaming Headset.  I’ve always been torn about gaming headsets, but this one looks like it may not only be the new king, but well worth the money as well.  With full wireless capabilities, full surround sound, a noise cancelling mic and programmable ..read the full article

When I first unboxed the Razer Naga, my first impression was ‘wow’. Even the box it comes in is impressive. The sleek design and stylish lights are really cool. Holding the mouse is a pleasure as well. The smooth contours fit into my hand, and the mouse would be good for people with just about any size hand comfortably.

As for performance, the 5600 DPI Laser works incredibly well. Accuracy is definitely one of the strong points on this mouse. The ..read the full article

When it comes to video games, I find nothing gives a better sense of control and use than the traditional keyboard and mouse. Need to pull off that perfect headshot? A mouse will let you. Need to control your huge army base from the other side of the map? Your computer keyboard and bindings will let you do that too.

Out of the box, the G13 looks perfect. A curved design, wealthy amount of keys and strikingly large LCD screen (160×43 ..read the full article

For once, and take this comment lightly, I’ve seen Mad Catz 3rd party peripherals that just don’t look tacky or pathetic. Mad Catz earlier unveiled their new line on Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and PC controllers set to ship with Call of Duty: Black Ops at the end of 2010. Take a look at them below;

They all look pretty awesome if you ask me. The red LED’s under the Xbox 360 joysticks look sweet as. I will definitely be taking ..read the full article

Sony’s newest foray into motion controlled gaming is the Playstation Move. In order to use the Playstation Move, you must have a Playstation Eye and at least a Wand controller, though some games require a nunchuck as well. These peripherals cost a grand total of $130 minimum for one person. That said, Sony wants you to know that this pricing is done so they can profit from it.

Duuuuuuh.

Sony Worldwide Studios’s Shuhei Yoshida told Develop Online that they were pricing Move ..read the full article

If there’s one thing FPS purists constantly complain about with console shooters, it’s controller inaccuracy. “Oh, thumbsticks don’t work well for aiming.” they say. “Keyboard and mouse foreva.” they say . “Consoles will never be as accurate as PCs, man.” they say. Well, Penguin United showed you, ubiquitous “they”!

We must’ve missed this at E3 this year, which might have well been three years ago at this point, but Penguin United set up a booth to introduce their newest console peripheral, ..read the full article

Three guys walk into a bar. The first sits down to order some food. The second sits down to order a drink. The third sits down and begins to talk to the second (quite loudly mind you) about how he was a former exec for a major game publisher, and now owns his own private software firm that happens to be working on facial recognition software that could potentially scan your face for emotion and transmit the data to developers ..read the full article

So you are the world’s biggest Tron fan, you own the action figures, boots, backpacks, sunglasses and the video games, but do you own the $35,000 (USD) Tron Lightcycle?

I didn’t think so. Park Brothers Choppers of Melbourne, Florida are creating five custom built bikes that are based on the Lightcycle from Tron: Legacy.

You’ll have to hurry up over to eBay though to buy one, hopefully your kids college fund will understand. Personally I don’t think ..read the full article

Yikes.

Reception towards Kinect hasn’t been necessarily positive amongst the gaming community, and now that the full specs for the peripheral have been posted online by Play.com, it doesn’t look like the reception will necessarily get better. It looks like Kinect will launch this fall with a 57-degree horizontal field of view, a required 175MB of storage space, a maximum 640 x 480 camera resolution (webcam quality, essentially) at 30 frames per second, and here’s the kicker- support for six people, ..read the full article

The Android operating system is definitely made for geeks, by geeks. And here’s the proof: a Mario Live Wallpaper, created by developer C.C.C. Creations!

On the Android phones, a live wallpaper is an interactive or moving wallpaper. The Mario Live Wallpaper features classic levels of Super Mario World from the SNES, being played by an AI on the background of your phone. The app is not the most practical, as the AI and the amount of motion ..read the full article

The guys over at PeteManderFX have whipped up some really cool suits and prosthetics, but their latest work of art will have gamers the world over screaming in joy and Spartans screaming in terror.

They’ve constructed an at-least seven foot tall animatronic Halo Elite costume. Do I need to say more? I highly doubt it. Scroll down for another picture and a making-of video.

Rejoice all you fanboys and girls. Your kitchen is now complete. 1337Motif of Etsy offers several geeky-awesome retro cutting boards, all handed crafted out of maple, walnut, or cherry. Now you have a reason to learn how to cook.

Legend of Zelda, Pacman, and Space Invaders are the only styles available right now (though it seems some are on back order) but it looks like he’s working on expanding his selection. According to Motif, they’re all safe to eat off of. ..read the full article

Well that didn’t take long. I expected that Microsoft would make Kinect publicly playable sometime before its November 4th launch date, but I didn’t expect it to be playable so soon. As of today, you can go into any Microsoft Store across the country and try out Kinect for yourself. The catch is that there are only four Microsoft stores in the nation, including the newest one that opened in San Diego today.

Microsoft also made it clear that while you ..read the full article

Despite the fact that Microsoft’s E3 keynote was ridiculously lame, I was actually interested by Dance Central, the new dancing game courtesy of Harmonix. Harmonix has a pretty good track record of music games, and every hands-on with the game has been pretty positive. I don’t think it’s worth buying an Xbox 360 if you don’t own one though. According to Kotaku, you might not have to.

In an interview with Harmonix’s CEO, Alex Rigolopolous, Rigolopolous mentioned that they are trying ..read the full article

Microsoft has been notoriously tight-lipped about the price for the Kinect, to the point that they have had to state multiple times that the $150 pricing listed online at various retailers is purely speculation and not final. When Don Mattrick said this past week that “Sony was in for a tough holiday” with the final Kinect pricing, we all assumed the final price would be less than the $130 required for Move.

Unfortunately, it seems like another source has come forth ..read the full article
