Brief: Here at Modreactor we got ourselves yet another pair of pads
that have „gaming” in their description. This time we received
products from the QPAD|CT series – hybrid mouse pads. Now let’s see
how do they fare compared to similar products we reviewed before.

Title: SilverStone Raven RVM01B Mouse @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12893
Summary: “While SilverStone Technology has long been known for their high-end (and very expensive) computer cases such as the Sugo and Temjin series, as of late they’ve begun manufacturing other computer peripherals while driving new and interesting innovations into these conventional products. Earlier this month we looked at the SilverStone Treasure TS01, which was a 2.5" SATA drive enclosure, but separating it from the other enclosure devices on the market, this one would encrypt the drive and secure it using two RFID keys. If these small keys were not exposed to the TS01, the drive enclosure would not work. Another interesting creation from SilverStone Technology is the Raven RVM01B. This here is SilverStone’s first computer mouse and we are looking at it today.”

Quote: OCZ bring us the second in their range of gaming mice. Take a look inside to see how it fairs.

Review Snipit:
“Of course right now there are many companies out there producing  gaming mice, and they all are different in one way or another, which one is the best? I’m not sure really, but today I’ve got one that I consider one of  the best. It comes from a company that’s well known for quality made products, NZXT, it’s their first foray into the mousing arena. Is it worth your money? I think so… read on ”

Star Wars fans, there controllers may well be the coolest accessory ever for the Wii. Read on for all the details on the Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack NW.”

The main thing to fix is how you let the CPU quarterback throw off his back foot on any play. I’m sure Madden himself would say, “Now he should have never thrown that ball off his back foot, boom!”

Is it too much to ask for players to walk into a game with both teams on an equal field and the players decide the game, rather than sliders, scripting, and animations? I have been a loyal fan for many years, but other than crazy games against other gamers, I’m starting to understand why many people have long lost faith in the Madden franchise for not offering enough innovation. Madden 09 is just NCAA 09 in new packaging and some glitter to make it look better. For next year, please try to make a game that better reflects the NFL.

Girl Gaming is a joke.

Im not against girls in video games. I actually have sat and encouraged it. Every girl I ever date I am trying to make into a gamer, and I know, just like these girls that are spreading the movement that if you just give them a chance, video games are a great recreation. Having the opposite sex involved in a Halo tournament is wonderfulespecially if they kick my ass. But lets get something straight, I get my ass kicked by women just as I do by men. There is no difference.

NEW CONTENT (Miscellanous) - OCZ Dominatrix Gaming Mouse

QUOTE: “Today we have the new OCZ Dominatrix on the slab, ready for a bit of rough and tumble. Many of our loyal readers will have an un-nerving sense of déjà vu as this mouse looks pretty much identical to the Cybersnipa I reviewed not too long ago. Well, in truth they appear to be the same mouse chassis with a few tweaks to the aesthetics.

Now we will find out just how different they are in the details. The OCZ edition has opted for the blue rubberised grip which is a solid choice as I like the rubber on this grip; it’s a soft and silky silicon feel but it doesn’t leave your hand sweating and struggling for grip.”

Title: Razer Lachesis 4000DPI Mouse @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12815
Summary: “Over the years of Razer launching new products such as the Copperhead, Barracuda HP-1, and Tarantula, we have been completely overtaken by their incredibly well-designed products — primarily their high-end gaming mice — and the bar they continue to raise with each new iteration of products they introduce. The Razer Copperhead was one of their best mice to have been introduced and it contained a laser sensor with 2000 DPI capabilities, but their newest mouse is the Lachesis and it uses a 4000DPI 3G laser sensor. However, with Razer having yet to provide any drivers or customization software for the advanced capabilities of this mouse on Linux, is the Razer Lachesis worth its expensive price tag?”

I went to E3errrr PAX. To be honest, the show has come a long ways in five years from when it was in that insanely small venue from the first two years. I played a lot of games, talked to a lot of people, and ate a lot of Cliff Bars. Overall, my impression on the show itself was mixed. Its obvious the people at Penny-Arcade are gods now, and they put everything they had into it. In execution though, there was so much that could have been done that was simply out of Gabe and Tychos hands.

Title: Stalker Clear Sky PC-Game Review on Technic3D

Link: http://www.technic3d.com/article-732,1-stalker-clear-sky-aus-der-zone-in-die-zone.htm

Quote: “The Stalker Clear Sky PC Game from DeepSilver arrived Technic3D. Go back one year from the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. In Clear Sky, a group of stalkers has reached the heart of the Zone - Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. An immense blowout of anomalous energy changes the Zone. There are no more reliable and relatively safe roads. Entire levels vanish in the outbursts of anomalies. Stalkers and even expeditions die or end up sealed on the lost territories. New areas, which remained unknown since the time of the Zone emergence, appear on the Zone map. Changes of the Zone map known to stalkers shake the fragile balance of forces in the Zone. Among the groupings, there flare up hostilities for the new territories, artifact fields and spheres of influence. Everyone is now out for himself. You are a mercenary who appeared at the edge of the opposition between stalker factions, Strelok and the Zone itself. You play the key role in the events that led to creation of the Zone up to the point from which the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game begins. Better with DirectX10? See you in the following Review.”

This article explains why the iPhone port of Myst will be successful in areas where other portable consoles have failed.

Myst already available for PSP and DS, why bother with the iPhone port?

Quote:
“Since its initial release Myst has been ported to multiple platforms, such as Windows, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS. Although the game enjoyed great success on PC, scoring a respectable 90% on Game Rankings, the same can’t be said of the handheld ports, scoring 56%/53% on the PSP/DS respectively, which raises the question, where did the PSP/DS go wrong, and will the iPhone be doomed to the same fate?”

TITLE: WolfKing Timber Wolf Gaming Keyboard @ Benchmark Reviews

DESCRIPTION: Today’s PC gaming enthusiast is always on the lookout for the edge that will put him or her above other players. A performance gaming keyboard is at the top of the list of products that can certainly make a difference. Today Benchmark Reviews takes a look at what could possibly be an edge that some players are looking for, the Wolf King Timber Wolf gaming keyboard.

The typical gaming keyboard is hardly more than a standard keyboard with a few enhancements. They have unnecessary software to set up profiles for multiple games, which can bring along its own issues. Multiple and fast keystroke capability are also on the list of features. Will the design of the Timber Wolf change the way you play?

NEW CONTENT (Miscellaneous) - NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse

QUOTE: “On the slab today we have the monolithic looking NZXT Avatar mouse in all its matt-black glory. Boasting a 2600 DPI optical sensor, fully customisable interface and an ambidextrous design, it certainly aims to please all.

This is new territory for NZXT, having never released a mouse before. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up with the plethora of clickers on the market. Sitting on my desk is this little black box, with no markings aside from an embossed “NZXT” in one corner; reminds me of a certain movie with monkeys and bones…”

The Best Gaming Mouse: Logitech vs. Razer vs. Microsoft @ TechSpot
http://www.techspot.com/review/111-gaming-mouse-shootout/

With online gaming being as competitive as it is these days, you will no doubt want to take advantage of every opportunity available (short of cheating) to gain an edge over your online foes. Today we are taking a look at five gaming mice that aim to do just that.

Meet the cream of the crop: from Logitech, the G5 and G9 mice. Microsoft is represented by the Sidewinder and Habu mice, while Razer rounds out the group with the Lachesis gaming mouse.

When given the chance to interview Nicholas Depalmer a professional gamer from Team Pandemic we jumped at the chance. Considering how many people play games and how few manage to find a way to make a living from it I thought it would be interesting to see how he did it. It turns out his back story was very interesting. If you would like to read even more about Nicholas you can also check out his website at propeekay.com.

We have just taken a look at the Ikari Laser iron.lady bundle today and I’ve turned my wife loose on this pink bundle.  This bundle takes it’s name from a female gaming event in China and it offers up a pink Ikari Laser mouse, pink QcK mousepad and a pink wristband for your favorite female gamer.  My wife is a big fan of the entire bundle and was surprised at how nice the wristband is.  Take a look at her review for all the details.

Title: ASUS Republic of Gamers Convention: Part 2 @ Techgage

Quote: The ASUS RoG Con is done and over with, so we take a look back at what made the weekend so great. Depending on who you ask, the LAN was a great success, with nobody leaving without some sort of swag in their hand. But, there was so much more to it than just that. Will we see another? We sure hope so.

We did some data mining through the massive amount of test data that was put online yesterday; it seems the HD4870X2 works really wonderful with Crysis when AA is enabled, if you are running under Vista. The increased level of detail with 4xAA doesn’t really reduce performance all that much. While the GTX 280 takes a serious performance hit. Secondly is the fact that the HD4870X2 holds up better going from Windows XP to Windows Vista, and runs the game faster than the GTX 280 when “Very High” detail is used. While under XP with “High” the both are basically tied.

Feel free to sample the charts from our site; as the credit goes to the original testers!
