The new footy season has kicked off, you have your shirt, your scarf, your hat, why not add a branded skin to your phone and console? Sticker skins have been around for years, I used to have a fetching silver one for my PS1 which was quickly removed as it attracted loads of heat to the machine, and now you can pick up an officially licensed one for your team, as long as your team is either Liverpool or Spurs (other teams coming soon). Thieving rival supporters are no doubt less likely to nick your gadgets – but could be more inclined to stomp on in.
Football skins are currently available for BlackBerry 8900, iPod Classic 5th Gen, iPod Touch 2nd/3rd Gen, iPhone 3G/S, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox/PS3 controllers and prices start from around a tenner with a three year warranty, so no worries if they start peeling then.
Ever wanted to show other people the world from your perspective? Then you need the Action Cam from Chilli Technology that enables you to attach a video camera to your head, which will do till we can have a flash drive embedded into the back of our eyes and a flash above the eyebrows. With this nifty gadget you can record your own version of Peep Show, catch dog owners who don’t pick up mess and also record important conversations that you can analyse later for lies whilst keeping your hands free. The camera comes with a head strap and then you just press one button to start recording. 2xAA batteries power it up for around 3 hours and the movies are stored onto SD card, at a rate of 1gb per hour. The camera retails for £24.99 and looks a nice gift for those who enjoy mountain biking or skiing or spying on neighbours.
Should have had this up on Thursday, but after a good start to the week I was hit with two doses of bad luck – my computer would not connect to the internet, and the PlayStation 3 caught the evil Yellow Light Of Death. Everything is now back up and running and here are some belated trailers from GamesCom. To make up for the delay there is even more than usual, including Deus Ex Human Revolution, Dance Central and Halo Reach.
Kane & Lynch are not your typical lead game characters and Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is not your typical game sequel. All too often the begging bowl is brought out and we cry ‘More of the same but shinier’ and go on our way, but this was not going to be the case for the dastardly duo as while the first game sold well it was panned by critics and public alike. An overhaul was needed and the trailers have shown a dramatically different game, but is this sequel more poodle than rottweiller? Read on to find out….
Lara Croft & The Guardian Of Light hits XBox Live Arcade on Wednesday but is the latest adventure worthy of your time and 1200 Microsoft Points? The game focuses heavily on co-op so we got two Lara disciples in the shape of Mark and John (Matthew and Luke were unavailable) to play through the game and give us their thoughts.
