Large screen handheld Tetris game

tetris-gold-game.jpg
This seems like something a baby born in the 80s would like. It’s a homage to those years where one game systems were cooler than sliced bread. Of course, now, you can just get a PSP or a DS and play multiple games from one hand held console but what’s the fun in that? The Tetris Gold game is $35 a pop.

Korg DS-10 makes your DS a kickass Synthesizer

The Korg DS-10 may sound like an alien from out of space but it’s really a software that turns your Nintendo DS into a synthesizer. Now.. this only makes the DS 100 times cooler than the PSP because not only does it please the gamer geeks, it appeases the music geeks too. Those long rides home can now be turned into a mini music production time if the gamer/musician got tired of Mario.

The Korg DS-10 is only available in Japan. The Korg costs 4,800 Yen, that’s about USD47. More info about the Korg:

- Two patchable dual-oscillator analog synth simulators: - Four-part drum machine that uses sounds created with the analog synth simulator - Six-track (analog synth x 2, drum machine x 4) /16-step sequencer - Delay, chorus and flanger sound effects available from the mixing board - Three note-entry modes: touch-control screen, keyboard screen, matrix screen - Real-time sound control mode via touch-control screen - Exchange sounds and songs and play multiple units simultaneously through a wireless communications link

Ironkey will self destruct if you try to snoop

Only if YOU are not the owner of the Ironkey that is. Say hello to the world’s impenetrable thumb drive for that important project you don’t want your colleague’s grubby hands on. The best part is if they do try to take the info inside with their grubby hands, your thumb drive will self destruct in all its 4 gig glory.

ironkey.jpg

Passwords can be hacked, but not the IronKey. It’s built to withstand attacks both virtual and physical. 10 incorrect password attempts, and the encryption chip self-destructs, making the contents of the flash drive totally unreadable. The contents of the drive are filled with epoxy, so if a hacker tries to physically access the chips, he’d more likely damage them instead. Even if he did get access to the memory chips, they’d be worthless without the encryption chip. Electron-shielded, even a scanning electron microscope can’t get inside.

Thanko Charger Bracelet

chabrc01_002.jpg
Thanko’s Charger Bracelet allows up to 4.5hours of extended battery life to your DS/PSP when you’re out. I think every PSP/DS owner should invest in one because imagine being cut off while you’re delivering the final blow of victory to boss of the final level of your game? Pissed off for sure and your day is ruined and your cat’s being a bitch and your chicken dinner tastes like crap and your favorite TV show got hanged from the network and whatever. Just buy the Thanko Charger Bracelet and quit whining.

New Guitar Heroes’ Controllers

The new controllers for the game, “Guitar Heroes”, look like guitars. Naturally. But the walk through video showing the guitar controllers in action has been stopped because someone somewhere violated some terms somehow so the video on youtube and everywhere else is clipped. The controller is made for the Wii and PS3 is also deemed to be very addictive. Kinda like a clip from the movie, “The Revenge of the Nerds”.

God. LOL.

Digital TV from the PSP

Sony has announce digital TV from it’s PSP. Japanese buyers of the PSP can now tune into DVB thanks to their 1 seg terrestrial digital broadcast - something the US and Canada does not have. The PSP-S310 has the digital television add-on will cost somewhere around $58. I can assure you that it will get snapped up so fast, you won’t be done saying “BANZAI”. The release of the PSP-S310 will coincide with the new PSP launch on the 20th of September this year.

Oh whyyyyy is US and Canada so backwards? In Japan they can have TV on the go, while we’re still stuck in our living room watching TV behind a big screen lump of industrial plastic. Where’s the mobility in that?

Read the scoop here.

*no pix yet obviously.

Billet’s Aluminum Steering Wheel for WiiMote

billet_1.jpg

This anodized aluminum frame from Billet is created for you to strap your WiiMote on and off you go, as it’s already a makeshift steering wheel. It comes in a striking blue color too :)

The aluminum frame is very lightweight so it’s easy to the hands when you’re playing your racing games for 4 hours straight. As the lightweight metal material is used for aircrafts and stuff like that, the company claims that it “literally smash the competition to pieces”. I really would like to see that claim. Order your aluminum frame today for only 49.95 bucks! :)

Read about the product.

Btw, have you seen the video of the wiimote being blended yet with a BLENDTEC blender?

The wiimote is a pretty tough actually. Cos that blender blends iPhones i tell you.

Wii Weights

I think Nintendo Wii is really selling the idea that you can lose weight and exercise while playing games. With the Wii it wouldn’t be surprising since you technically have to emulate the sport games like tennis, golf, badminton, etc….that’s pretty cool. I think this idea is going to sell like hotcakes and with this Wii Weights, we’re going to have a legion of Wii Athletes for sure.
