Looking for a different controller for the Xbox can be tough task. Let’s face it, there are several companies with new features trying to sway you to buy their product. For me personally a controller is the most important piece of hardware you have.

So with this in mind I have personally tested and bought several different controllers. Some have great features but are uncomfortable or just are not made with quality in mind. The nature of the industry I am in means that I can’t afford to have my controller wear out or die on me. I was asked to review the Logitech Precision Controller, the one without the wireless feature (they also offer a wireless version, which we have tested and included in this review as well, the commentary in regards to the wireless version is offered via Jason’s testing).

WWE Wrestlemania XXI Xbox Review

I will admit it, I enjoy watching wrestling, in fact, I still love to go to the live events. Even though I am a wrestling fan, of course, I know it is carefully choreographed. I also know that the outcomes of the matches are predetermined and why the referee wears an earpiece; he does this so he can hear directions from the control booth for last minute changes in the script. He is the “director” and plays a key role in making sure the show runs smoothly. I know some may find this hard to believe but it’s entertaining. The athletes and talent are carefully trained. You can call it fake if you like, then again the moves they learn and the years of practice and training deserves some mention. If you’re reading this and asking “how can you call wrestling fake and still watch it?” simple, it provides me with some entertainment and I can enjoy it. I just do not take it too seriously.

For racing fans this last month has been a good one for release dates. Any racing fans loves high-speed and plenty of great cars in their games. They also love a challenge and the rush that comes from the cops chasing them. Some like a game where you race different cars and vehicles and have to customize and build them up. Of course every fan loves a game that is long and if it has a decent story behind it, that’s an added bonus. The folks at Rockstar have done it again with the newest game in their popular Midnight Club series.

Ever since E3 2005 and the debut of the next generation consoles, people have been comparing the systems from Microsoft and Sony quite intensely. There in no doubt in our minds that both consoles will be exceptional, offering gamers an experience that they have never seen before. We also met up with some of our contacts just after the Sony Pre-Show conference on the E3 floor, and they slipped us a couple little known photos and information, which you won’t see anywhere else on the internet. Now we are an Xbox site, but we rightfully admit that the specs on the upcoming PS3 are quite impressive, but to get a real feel of just how fantastic they will be, read on.
