Customer Review: Cheaper, but noticeably worse than the official controller.
I wanted an extra controller for when playing with buddies at home. Since this only happens occasionally, I didn’t want to spend more money than necessary. For the purpose of this review I will compare with the official controller. Overall feel and design - sits well in my hands, and feels comfortable in general. I don’t like the placement of the back/start buttons though, as it feels a bit awkward reaching them. Still, there is less risk of pressing them by accident like this. Buttons - feel a bit hard, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I suspect that button-mashing games will make your fingers hurt though. Sensitivy is on par with the official controller. D-pad - this actually feels more precise. I always had a wee bit of problems with the official D-pad, and especially the diagonals feel imprecise. This one’s better, and should be good for fighting games. Triggers - firmer and with more resistance than the official controller. Neither better nor worse for any practical purpose. With driving games I actually think it’s easier to maintain exactly the right level of acceleration. If you need to repeatedly press the triggers fast, they can feel a little too tough. Analog sticks - these feel flip-floppy, imprecise, and not that analog. They are too soft, and movement often becomes all-or-nothing. On shooters this can be compensated by turning overall sensitivity down, and it’s ok. But play any game which recquires precise sequences of movements (trick games, driving, FNR3) and it becomes a major pain. It is a noticeable handicap playing with this controller, which is not how I want my coop or vs games at home. Conclusions - if a good D-pad is crucial for you, to the point of not caring that much about the sticks, buy it at good value. Otherwise, wait until you can afford a better controller, or you will regret your buy like I did.
Customer Review: Do not buy!
after my friend got his 360 we put our cash 2gether to buy a cheap controller and we brought this. what a mistake, the anaolog sticks are way to sensitive and are not accuarate, the sticks feel very delayed and are a pain when playing driving games as your constantly trying to keep your car in line. The trigger were very tough too but im guessing thats because it was new. the 360 button did work and all the player lights were correct. Buy the official controller's! its worth the extra cash trust me!

Customer Review: Not as good as wipeout
Anti grav racing is no longer en vogue, not only that it, hasn’t been eb vogue for nearly a decade. So there is a definite lack of anti grav racing games but just because there is a lack doesn’t mean the world is crying out for one. That said a good one would go down nicely, sadly this is just merely average. It is fun for a short while then the difficulty curve goes of the scale. As the game progresses the races get faster, and sadly fast is everything. More quantum redshift than wipeout.

Championship Manager 2007 (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
The biggest name in football management returns for a new season in which it’s suddenly the underdog. Despite giving 110% though it doesn’t quite walk away with the silverware this time.

The lowdown:
Since 1993, the Championship Manager series has been the most popular football management game in the world - for a while it was the best selling PC game of all time in the UK! Ever since original developer Sports Interactive left to work on Football Manager for Sega though it’s never quite been the same. This new version is a definite improvement on last year’s game though, with a brand new interface that’s arguably better than any of its rivals. As well as the new Match Analysis Tool there’s also a new team talk feature and the chance to give individual instructions to specific players. The accuracy of the database of players still doesn’t come close to that of Sports Interactive, but it’s still far from second division.

Most exciting moment:
The new Match Analysis Tool is probably the game’s biggest new feature, with a truck load of statistics to examine at the end of every match, for not just the game itself but every individual player involved. Not all of it is always useful but it certainly does help when deciding what changes to make to your side.

Since you ask:
After Sports Interactive left the series, publisher Eidos set-up their own brand new development studio just to work on the Championship Manager series. Named Beautiful Game Studios, the team is based in Wimbledon with their own in-house research team for player statistics.

The bottom line:
Second best is still good enough.-HARRISON DENT

Xbox 360 HD DVD Player (Xbox 360) Customer Review: PAIRED WITH A 360 ELITE, THIS IS JUST AS GOOD AS A TOSHIBA HD-XE1 !
I got into HD movies with a Toshiba HD-XE1, which cost me ?450. Having just upgraded our original XBOX 360 to an Elite (mainly because, as a Vista Media Centre Extender, the Elite is MUCH quieter than the original 360), I couldn’t resist buying this 360 HD drive. Bottom Line? I’m selling the Tosh because I find the output of th XBOX HD drive is JUST AS GOOD, through either my Panasonic HD projector or Sharp HD TV. The pairing of this drive with the 360 Elite using HDMI to connect to a decent display is just perfect. This is a great Home Cinema solution, particularly as the Elite doesn’t sound like a jet engine as the old 360 did. I’m delighted!
Customer Review: HD made easy
Put simply, the hd add on for the 360 is great. Simply plug the player into a usb port on the console and install the disk. Comparing the price to an independant hd player makes the add on a superb buy, any 360 owner should seriously think about getting one. But, you will have to download updates from microsoft. Anyone not online will have to be prepared to have the odd dvd that won’t play.
