The wonderful team over at Kontrol Freek, recently gave us a chance to test out their new products FPS and Speed Freek. While we’ve had a solid month to test out their products we’ve given each of them a solid 25 hours plus for each, so we know how well each of them works. I’m going to take this chance here to thank all of Kontrol Freek now for giving us this chance to review their products. Now on to the review!

To start the review we will first explain a bit of background information. If you are on the 360-Hq homepage click read more to check out the full review!

    PGR4 Dvd Limitations Update
    PGR4 Dvd Limitations Update
    Published by: endless on Wednesday, August 01, 2007
    Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

    Ah the great world of rumors to stir the melting pot. Turns out the dvd size constraints supposedly plaguing Bizarre Creations upcoming title PGR4 , were false. The best part of this rumor is Sony's reaction when they fell for this rumor, hook line and sinker.

    "We took a lot of heat at launch for including Blu-ray in PS3. Now it looks like that investment is being justified," said SCEA spokesman Dave Karraker.

    "Next generation games simply need more space on the disc to contain all that high definition content. Take a look at Lair, for example, already pushing 25GB of content, and that is a first-generation title. At 50GB storage capacity, Blu-ray gives the PS3 plenty of headroom for developers to fully realize their visions well into the future."

    Ouch Sony, perhaps you should wait for confirmation to rumors before jumping on the fanboy bandwagon.

    Bizarre Creations had this to say about the rumor.

    As I'm sure you've seen, some of the comments made on our forum have been blown out of all proportion. This has been reported on certain web sites. It seems that a number of fanboys have jumped on the topic... sigh. So it's time we cleared this one up...

    When we started designing PGR4 our primary goals were to create a great and unique experience over and above PGR3
    , to push the hardware as far as we could, and obviously to ensure that we give great value for money. DVD size is absolutely not a factor that we consider when designing our games... and PGR4 is no exception. DVD9 gives us more than we need to create a fabulous experience for you guys.

    The previous game, PGR3
    , had five environments. That's how much we could create given our time and resources for that game. With the longer development cycle we've had for PGR4 , as well as the advantage of having final hardware, we wanted to create a far bigger and better game by this time including 10 environments, as well as a whole bunch of new gameplay features.

    Rather than having two "fixed" times of day, this time around we decided to use our time to create a dynamic weather system, which effectively creates a much more dramatic palette from which to work with. To show you where we're coming from, have a look at this screenshot crop sheet. This is something we use internally to compare our environments, lighting, and weather effects... but it's certainly useful for demonstrating the breadth of the game here!

    The bold games are exclusive to that console.

    PS3 Exclusives above 8/10: 5
    Xbox 360 Exclusives above 8/10: 39

    Xbox 360 has 7.8 times as many 8/10 games exclusive to their console. Also, NBA Street Homecourt and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 are the only ports that rank higher on the PS3 and are above scores of 8/10.
    Does this, for now, prove that Xbox 360 has better games than PS3 at this point? Also, will the PS3 be able to catch up and then keep up in the coming years? There's a long way to go, but for now, the claims that PS3 doesn't have many good games... is true.

    Ratings taken from MetaCritic.com. To be in the top scores for each console, each game had to have at least 5 ratings from seperate sites.

    Xbox 360 Platinum Hits Brings More of the Best for Less
    Xbox 360 Platinum Hits Brings More of the Best for Less
    Published by: forahobby on Sunday, February 25, 2007
    Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

    Microsoft launches next wave of Platinum Hits so gamers can choose from more great games at new low prices.

    From gamers looking for fun with the family — such as volleying with tennis pros— to those who want hardcore action — such as leading an elite Ghost Recon squad equipped with cutting-edge weapons and communications systems — anyone in search of a great game experience can find a blockbuster title with Platinum Hits for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system. On the heels of the expanded Platinum Hits launch in Europe earlier this month, Microsoft Corp. today announced that the next round of titles in the Xbox 360 Platinum Hits library will be available March 16 in North America, Latin America, Japan and the Asia Pacific region.

    Next month’s Platinum Hits releases include critically acclaimed games from the industry’s leading publishers, including Activision Publishing Inc.’s “Call of Duty 2,” Electronic Arts Inc.’s “EA SPORTS™ Fight Night Round 3,” Ubisoft Entertainment’s “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter” and 2K Sport’s “Top Spin 2.” This lineup of Platinum Hits represents some of the best high-definition titles available on Xbox 360 at an appealing price.

    Next month’s Platinum Hits release, starting at an estimated retail price of $29.99 (U.S.), will include the following titles in the Americas:

    - “Battlefield 2: Modern Combat™” (Electronic Arts)
    - “Burnout Revenge” (Electronic Arts)- “Call of Duty 2” (Activision)
    - “Dead or Alive 4” (TECMO Inc.)
    - “Fight Night Round 3” (Electronic Arts)
    - “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter” (Ubisoft)
    - “Top Spin 2” (2K Sports)
    - “Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis” (Rockstar Games)

    In Japan the Platinum Hits titles listed below will be available in March for 2,800 yen:

    - “Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (Electronic Arts)”
    - “Burnout Revenge” (Electronic Arts)
    - “Chrome Hounds” (Sega Corp.)
    - “Perfect Dark Zero” (Microsoft Game Studios)

    In the Asia Pacific region these new Platinum Hits titles will be available. New pricing for these games will vary slightly by region:

    - “Dead or Alive 4” (TECMO)
    - “N3: Ninety-Nine Nights” (Microsoft Game Studios)
    - “Project Gotham Racing® 3” (Microsoft Game Studios)
    - “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter” (Ubisoft)

    Gamers throughout Europe are able to pick up the following new Platinum Hits titles, launched earlier this month, for an estimated retail price of 29.99 euros:

    - “Call of Duty 2” (Activision)
    - “Dead or Alive 4” (TECMO)
    - “Project Gotham Racing 3” (Microsoft Game Studios)
    - “Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis” (Rockstar Games)
    - “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter” (Ubisoft)
    - “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend” (Eidos Interactive Ltd.)

    “Platinum Hits not only lets gamers enjoy a broad portfolio of titles at an amazing price,” said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of Global Marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “It also ensures that existing and new gamers alike can get the most from their Xbox 360 by owning a great library of blockbuster hits. So if you missed playing a game the first time around, now there is a great reason to pick it up.”

    The Xbox 360 Platinum Hits program, which launched worldwide last fall, gives people access to great games at a great value. And now with more than 10.4 million Xbox 360 consoles in living rooms around the world, there will be plenty of new console owners eager to jump into the best-selling Xbox 360 games. In fact, the Xbox and Xbox 360 Platinum Hits program accounts for more than 16.3 million games sold worldwide. A full list of Platinum Hits titles available in the U.S., Europe and Japan is available online at http://www.xbox.com/platinumhits
