Sound. So often sidelined when reviewing games, yet it’s amazing how much difference it can make to an experience. Much of Arkham City’s atmosphere and wonder is owed to the fantastic score and exemplary sound design. Dead Space would be nothing without its eerie soundscapes, the Ishimura simply a dead ship without its creaking and groaning and breathing. Many of us are content to play our games on HDTVs which, on average, have awful speakers.
"If you are a hardcore or casual gamer on Xbox 360 then there are several accessories you must-have! This article will list 5 of my favorite accessories for Xbox 360 that you must get today. It will not only make your life easier but also make you a better gamer. Why does it make you a better gamer? Well because you are spending MORE TIME in the game instead of messing with trivial crap around you." -Amanda Dyar
Pretty good list except for the headphones. I would have recommended wireless headphones instead of wired.
First this list just has accessories it has nothing that can make you better at gaming the only thing that will make a person better is playing the actual game second is you had those headphones you wouldn't mind the cables trust me
I've got most of those- HD PVR, Turtle Beach X31s and rechargeable batteries.
The chat pad needs a mention: really handy and with internet explorer on the way, it'll be brilliant.
People waste way too much money on those headsets...I feel like they dont realize how much more awesome it is to have a decent sound system.
I'd say the number one thing Xbox owners need to own is a PS3--that way they can make up for the long droughts of non-exclusive games and avoid the dreaded Kinect games M$ keeps shoving down their throats. Plus PSN is free to go online, so it saves A TON on internet fee's.
Wait... I need an Energizer battery charge kit AND also Nyko battery packs? No... I think you are confused here... please revise...
I have none of this stuff for my 360 but I have media remote and the energizer charging stand for my ps3. I also pretty much agree in entirety with these, except if you were a more casual gamer then you wouldn't really need the HD gameplay recorder.
I would say the wireless steering wheel Microsoft created is a must-own, as well. It's a great cheap alternative to a full steering wheel.
Dude the black pretzel thing? That blew ass, I would have much rather had a full size one (and not one like the old white one from like 2007)
i agree, the MS wheel that came with FORZA 4 was pretty awesome and made it easy to use a wheel in racing games for everyone that doesn't have the space to setup a full wheel set. and it was pretty accurate.
Agreed. That black piece of plastic is no different than holding a shoe box in ur hands and pretending its a steering wheel. Ya? What we all want is a wheel with no force feedback. Try again. Wireless wheel = major fail.
to each their own.. because you know, those thumb sticks have so much force feedback..
i wonder why you have 2 bubbles.. i guess we will never know
LOL. Like I care? I'm an adult. I have real life issues to worry about. Not my bubbles on a website..LOL @ what you find important.
W75's Adam Franti takes Turtle Beach's entry level console and PC headset for a spin.
Tsilon.ca is a Canadian website that gives members great deals on games and accessories. It is by membership only and you do have to answer some questions to gain entry but you will get free games from time to time, as well as many other bonuses.
Signed up for the site to check it out, and I can't make heads or tails of it.... WTF am I supposed to do?
Yeah, It's confusing. I had to go to my pc. I was lost on my nexus.
You have to enter correct words that they are looking for. It changes every week or so, so try Google for the answers.
It took a lot of exploring around the site, but I managed to figure out a couple of the code words and "unlocked" some key cards...now if only I knew why I was doing this lol
The X12s are great! I love mine!
Lol just got mine a couple days ago and use it for everything. Love it.
