Xgaming
unleashes a Tank
Xgaming,
developer of the critically acclaimed X-Arcade Joystick series, has
introduced a new addition to the X-Arcade lineup, and it is a true
tank. The X-Arcade Tankstick is an industrial-grade desktop arcade
system good for one or two players. The Tankstick is made from over
20 LBS of heavy-duty materials and is made to last. Xgaming is so
confident of the its joysticks' quality that each one comes with a
lifetime warranty.
The
Tankstick also has a trackball and is able to use other X-Arcade
console adapters, which means that buyers won't just be able to play
classic games like Pac-Man or Golden Tee Golf, they'll also be able
to hook up to consoles such as Xbox or GameCube. As far as next-gen
systems go, Xgaming says they are currently developing adapters that
will work with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. For a list of
compatible games and other information on Tankstick or other X-Arcade
products, you can check out Xgaming's
website. The Tankstick can be purchased for $199.95 USD direct
from Xgaming and comes with eighteen full version, arcade classics.
Want
to be a Pokemon?
Tomorrow
will mark a new day for Pokemon lovers everywhere. Nintendo will be
releasing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team for Nintendo DS
and Red Rescue Team for Game Boy Advance SP. What makes this game
special, and completely different, from all other Pokemon games in
the past is that players will be able to play as an actual Pokemon
character and interact, and possibly even talk, with other Pokemon.
Players will begin the game to find that the main character has been
transformed into a Pokemon. They will have the option to choose
another Pokemon as a partner before they set off to form a rescue
team. There are more than 380 other Pokemon along their journey, and
players can accept rescue jobs along the way, to help Pokemon that
are in trouble.
Another new feature in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is the ability to come to the rescue of other players who have a copy of the game. Rescued players will not lose their money or items and will be able to restart the game from where they left off. For more information on the games you can check out www.PokemonMysteryDungeon.com.
