Joining our ranks of Novation products is the XioSynth Controller and Synthesizer which is a mixed bag that might appeal to some and turn off others with its incredibly compact and good looking silver/grey finished body with rounded edges for an appealing but not necessarily very robust aesthetic that seems more suited to the studio than the stage.
The Korg Kontrol 61 has made it into the Gadgetoid studio for a once over and is an impressively different control surface that’s, unlike any I have used before. In short it’s built like a brick shi… err outhouse.
Platypus is one of the latest PDA offerings from Astraware who publish and produce some of the best games that will ever grace your pocket-sized computer.
Platypus gives PDA users what they want out of a game; simple, accessible, time-wasting fun. It does this with unique stylized graphics, instant action gameplay and music that should bring a tear of nostalgia to any Commodore 64 owners eye.
In this review I will be looking at the WVQ-570DBE-1AVER from the Casio Wave Ceptor range. Alas Casio have neglected to give any of their extensive watch range catchy monikers so I will simply refer to WVQ-570DBE-1AVER as the Casio Wave Ceptor henceforth.
It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when your biggest local music retailer disappears, and that’s just what has happened across the UK as 10 Sound Control stores were forced to close recently due to the company going into administration.
Fortunately it looks like our local shop in Norwich will be staying open but nobody knows for how long.
SoundOnSound have a forum discussion regarding the SoundControl situation.
Archos have quickly redeemed themselves from the lackluster, dare I say failure, of the TV Plus and turned back to what they’re good at; all things portable.
But this time it’s not a new, sleeker, better model of their acclaimed multi-media players that they’re touting, but rather a GPS addon for the Archos 605 Wifi that is set to retail at £99.
Who could have seen this one coming!? Microsoft announced today that their recent price adjustment has significantly increased the sales volume of their little-white-console-that-could; the Xbox 360. Now for the love of god and all that is holy Microsoft, please produce a version of the Xbox 360 that doesn’t look embarrassingly like a squashed marshmallow… some of us 360 owners ARE more than 10 years old.
If you have a busy gaming schedule and you want to get the most out of GTA IV in the least amount of time then you’ll be pleased to know that a top notch, fully featured guide will be release the same day as the game itself for a paltry £12.99
For your cash you’ll get 288 pages of game-guide-goodness plus a 10 page foldout all authored by two of the videogames industries most highly respected guide authors, Tim Bogenn and Rick Barbain, in direct collaboration with Rockstar Games.
As you can guess, with that many pages everything is covered in great detail from just game basics, tips and tricks to a complete walkthrough of the game from start to finish. Look out for it when you go to pick up your pre-order!
In the last couple of days I’ve finally found myself sucked into the Xbox 360 indie game development haven dubbed the XNA Creators’ Club.
XNA is a framework developed by Microsoft to be used in conjunction with the C# programming language; it’s extremely easy to get to grips with and mind-blowingly simple to debug and run applications on an Xbox 360 using the Connect application that establishes a connection in a similar way to Windows Media Center.
