Wii MotionPlus

I’ve only tried the Wii MotionPlus with one game so far, Virtua Tennis 2009 but the MotionPlus enhanced the sensitivity of the Wiimote and made it more responsive when playing this game. It seems to sense the turning and direction or your hand better than the Wiimote alone and I thought it made the Virtua [...]

In martial arts, nunchucks are a pair of short wood rods connected with a chain that ninjas whirl around their bodies With the Wii, the nunchuck is a single controller held in your off hand.
The nunchuck is not the main controller unit for the Wii. The Wii primarily uses the Wii Remote, shaped [...]

Wii

Since the console has been covered in other reviews, this one will be a little more in-depth about the controller, and only the controller. I hope it can convince you, because it certainly enhanced my gaming experience.
Wow. That’s all I had to say after plugging the Wii in at my home on November 19th. After [...]

God of War: Collection

When I converted from XBox to Playstation a few years back, God of War was one of the first games I bought that was exclusive to the PS2. I’ve always loved Greek mythology, so I suppose that may be part of the reason why I quickly fell in love with the tragic story of Kratos. [...]

Wii Fit Plus

So, after 5 days playing and getting exercises with my Wii Fit Plus (from now on WFP), I think I am ready to write a review, I will try to make it short but useful as possible. (English is not my native language, you will notice immediately).
First, about me:
I do not go to the gym [...]

Xbox 360 Live Subscription Gold Card

To start off, I’d like to say that XBox Live is amazing and worth every penny. Online gaming is incredibly fun and a quite good way to pass time.
That aside, there are downsides to XBox Live that can be avoided through prepaid cards. Number one, you always run the risk that unwarranted transactions will be [...]

M-Audio SP-2 US65010 Sustain Pedal Piano Style Sustain Pedal for Keyboards

Honestly now. I have the Casio Privia piano, which can use 2 pedals. I bought 2 of these pedals to try and they work great. The one major complaint I’ve always had with non traditional pianos is the cheap tiny pedals every company gives you. Plus they give you only 1 at that.
Say goodbye to [...]

Yamaha PKBB1 Single Braced Adjustable X-Style Keyboard Bench

First of all, the PKBB1MM is the same model as the PKBB1. In fact, the box for this bench leaves off the MM suffix. So, it would seem that the same bench is being sold twice on Amazon, for two different prices. Go for whichever is cheaper.
Now, as far as the bench goes, it’s not [...]

Korg TM-40 Large Display Digital Tuner and Metronome

I’ve always had difficulty finding tuners with adequate response, and this one was actually a downgrade from the OT-12 (my favourite pocket-sized tuner), but it surprised me by working better than any previous combined metronome-tuner while not costing much more. The response rate is not adjustable, but sits at about a medium (there has to [...]

Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder

I borrowed a Zoom H4 from a friend and found it extremely frustrating to use. The owners manual was just gibberish to me. I could not make heads or tails of the instructions. It was a totally frustrating experience and I was ready to give up on making a CD, and ready to go back [...]
