It’s taken a bit of time, but now 3DS XL owners can know the joy of having two Circle Pads. The 3DS XL version of the Circle Pad Pro peripheral is now available. You too can clamp an unwieldy piece of plastic onto your handheld so you get a second analog stick.

Stinky gaming footboard a natural for Kickstarter

stinky-callout

I’m calling it: Stinky Footboard will be the next must-have peripheral for the PC. A sort of “mouse for your foot,” I can see how the footboard can give a player a decided advantage in online games. It’s programmable, of course, so you can set it up to do any particular keystroke or mouse action you need. “Advantage in games” means “must-have” to me.

injustice gods among us battle edition

Normally, I’m ridiculously harsh on collector’s editions of video games because they’re usually incredibly frivolous. Sure, a giant helmet, dragon status or remote control car seems neat, but it isn’t so cool that the special edition is worth $100 or more. However, I wholeheartedly approve of at least one of the Injustice: Gods Among Us more »
