Left 4 Dead 2

2009-12-02T15:03:00.001-08:00

Now the people that played Left4Dead will know what to roughly to expect from this style game but until you really get your teeth in your missing out.

In left4dead2 new zombie classes have been added and some of the more intresting are the bulletproof ones!!!

New zombies include Chargers (these hurt) Spitters (These sting) Police (Bullet proof) and many more. The A.I has been revamped and there are now tons more guns, swords, Tools and even frying pans which do on impact make a delightful "bong"

The grahpics on the guns also seems amazing as you can see from some of the pics below..

Ovalral we think this game is well worth its weight in gold if even for the pure enjoyment of wacking slashing shooting chewing and ultimatly Xtreme carnage.

Great Game

2009-12-02T14:31:00.000-08:00

Recomendations

Overal I think and some of my clan agree that this mouse is perfectly suited for people average and large hands. Its easy to control and we found that after a few hours in game we were ripping people to pieces - Well done Logitech we like it. We also think that teamed up with a z board merc this would be a ideal combination.

I have posted a link to the side of my blog where to buy the Razer Megalodon from I have always found Amazon to be a very trustworthy program and all my products arrive fast and in mint condition plus they offer money back guaranties if there was ever any problems.Unlike ebay which is full of chinese ripoffs and second rubbish. Plus some sellers can be real pains in the backsides.

Z Board (Merc)

2009-12-01T14:23:00.001-08:00

I purchased a Z boards about 3 years ago and I must say its one of the finest gaming keyboards I have ever played with. The keyboard does not have any macro keys but instead has a FPS extension which you can see in the picture below.

The keys on left of the keyboard are perfectly postitioned for FPS games and even a nice feature is the bigger keys for the w,a,s,d,q,e thats commonly used in all fps style games.

I was upset that the keyboard does not really have a amazing look but there are some skins the can be purchased to place over the keyboard to suit the games you play.

Z boards are fairly cheap compared to some of the monsters out there today but if my knowledge is correct I think the original manufactores of this master piece have been bought out by another company.

Its now called the Steel series and although there has been minor changes to the look of the keyboard its a shame they have not looked into backlighting keys and maybe pimping the overall look a bit to keep up with amazing looking Razer products.

If you not too bothered about the look of your keyboard and you love fps games then this keyboard is the one for you. I have looked around and although some companies have tried to develope keyboards with similar designs the z board is still for me at the top of the pile.

I have done a bit of digging and if you want to own a master piece like this i think this is the cheapest place around.

Razer Mamba

2009-12-01T10:21:00.000-08:00

Razer Mamba Review

I first caught a glimpse of the Razer Mamba a while ago now and I immediately fell in love ( sounds extreme but gaming is a big part of my life ) and when you see a product that could not only enhance but also pimp your gaming experiences so you don't want to have to think twice before buying.

You can see by the packaging that the guys/girls at Razer have not skimped at all. This is along with there other products some of best packaging in the world. Razer have a style and finesse that is unparalleled.

Just to see the mouse sitting on my desktop feels me with pride to know there is no better.

Tech Specs

- Gaming Grade Wireless Technology
- Dual Mode Wired/Wireless Functionality
- Razer Synapse™ On-board Memory
- Seven independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons
- 5600DPI Razer Precision™ 3.5G Laser sensor

- 1000Hz Ultrapolling™ / 1ms response rate
- Up to 200 inches per second*/ 50g acceleration

- Approximate size: 128mm x 70mm x 42.5mm
- Battery Life: 14hrs (continuous gaming); 72 hours (normal gaming usage)

The glowing pad below the mouse is not only the charging unit but also the wireless device that your mouse talks to, you can see by the size that it can be placed very close to your mouse mat or any where on your desk and still look amazing.

The Razer Mamba has a price tag of about £100 or $130 which I would say is well worth it. Most gamers would not think twice about spending 40 - 50 pounds on mouses and changing them every 6 months or so. This one is so advanced it will keep up/walk all over any competitive product for years.

Well done Razer this is the kind of product that gamers actually want and deserve.

Belkin n52te

2009-11-30T15:21:00.000-08:00

The Belkin n52te

I purchased a Belkin n52te about two weeks ago, I think overall this is a great device. Its perfectly designed to fit your hand without the need of other keys getting in the way or being difficult to reach.

I installed the drivers and then plugged the device in as instructed and programmed the keys as per my requirements which was amazingly easy.

I have used the device on a variety of games and it seems to move from one game to the other without any major problems

I have a slight problem with the ulna nerve in my left hand which makes pushing the left hand shift key down on a standard key a bit of a struggle hence instead of running away I get gunned down.

The N52te make gaming easy and if you find it fairly easy to reprogram your fingers then after a few days I should imagine you would be "God walking amoung mere mortals" to other players using standard layout keyboards as this device also holds a hord of macro key for really punishing your opposition.

Logitech G Series

2009-11-30T14:54:00.000-08:00

I myself have used quite a few different keyboards.

Logitech G15 - Use at work

The G15 keyboard although not the latest Logitech keyboard on the market is very similar with only minor changes - This keyboard host a variety of macro keys which if using macros within games is what you like - perfect - It has a number of G keys i.e g1,g2,g3 on the left of the keyboard which can be program with certain key combination and time delays to allow for a quick weapon change or auto frag throw but I have to admit I never personally found these to be of much benefit within a fast paced game.

The keyboard itself is well design as you would expect from the price tag but apart from the macro keys and the led display its still a standard back lit keyboard and i.e the reason for being work.

I would not say its not worth getting as it is well constructed and some features would really suite some users.

If you are looking to buy a Logitech G series keyboard there is a link on the main page to the right that will take you to Logitech's site

Battlefield 2142

2009-11-30T14:14:00.001-08:00

My clan has been playing BF2142 for about 4 years now, and even when new games come out some how we are drawn back to continue playing this game.

I would suggest watching the intro video - its one of the best I have ever seen. Link below...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk4wEAO07hM

I have never known a game that combines Squad play along with simple/enjoyable play s0 well. The graphics are not amazing compare to the new call of duty but I would say when it comes down to gameplay theres nothing that even gets close.

Squads of upto 6 players at one time, 1 person is the squad leader who caries the spawn becon which allows the other squad members after death to spawn back on him so that your never far from the action.

The game has two real modes one being capture the point and the other is titan which if you havent seen this mode before can be quite amazing.

Like so many games now there are classes to choose from each have a strength and weakness,

Assault, Support, Engineer, Recon each with a fair variety of weapons and equipment to choose from make for a really diverse and enjoyable game.

Our group of players tries to at least play a couple of matches a night allow not always squad play - because the game allow for the fredom of the commando.

Hackers dont tend to really be too much of a problem although they can be annoying for about 5 mins before they get banned from the server.

My theory is that EA actually sells the game and the hacks aswell because of there lack of interest in stopping these idiots is minor.

But as I said before this does not cause any real problems as there are hackers in ever game.

Any intersted in purchasing the game can click the link below its pretty cheap and your more than welcome to join our TEAMSPEAK and chat to us. - send me a email and I will give you the ts details, also if you dont have ts you can download it from http://www.goteamspeak.com/

Trust me you wont regret it.

Roccat Kova

2009-11-30T12:57:00.000-08:00

Last week I purchased a Roccat Kova Gaming Mouse and I could not have been more pleased.

The Roccat Kova has a driverless design built to be a great gaming mouse rather than and 300 button macro monster. It arrived with very nice packaging but at the end of the day its the product I'm interested in and I must say I am more thanhappy with the design, feel and playability.

Product Specification Roccat Kova

- 3200 dpi pro-optic gaming sensor

- Hardware based configuration for rapid use and simple operation

- 20g acceleration ensures smooth and precise movements

- Customizable light system for your favorite color

- 5(+2) Mouse buttons with core task configurations

- V-shape ergonomic fit for left and right handers

- ROCCAT™ griptech side areas with non-slip stablization surface

- Coated mouse wheel with optimum grip + comfort

I also purchase a Roccat Taito mouse mat and after about 30mins use I ordered another one to use at work. I must say Roccat well done this mat is amazing.

Im not saying this is the cheapest place in the world to purchase the mat from but I found these people to provide a more than helpful service and my product arrived in mint condition.
