NES Advantage joystick modded for Xbox 360 use

Mar 30th 2009 7:17PM (Engadget)
It's cool because it's an official NES joystick, but I had that when I was 10 and let me tell you, it made NES games harder, not easier.

How would you change Nikon's D3x DSLR?

Feb 1st 2009 12:53PM (Engadget)
the D3X has worse high ISO quality than the D3 or D700. It's usable up to 1600 whereas the D3 and D700 go to 3200 with no problem.

Actually photographers will know where the secret lies on the large version... right in his eyes. I see an umbrella with a strobe and a softbox filling in the shadows.

Nikon D3x reviewed: unmatched image quality, steep price tag

Jan 14th 2009 1:38PM (Engadget)
If $8000 seems like too much, then it's not for you. Are you a top photojournalist, pro fashion shooter or shooting for national geographic? No? Then why get upset about the price... Most people using these are making more than enough to pay for them, or they are getting the equipment from someone who is paying for it.

It's not like there aren't good options for around $1000 or so, including Nikon options for the rest of us.

That thing looks comfortable to hold for hours.

Oh wait, no it doesn't.

Just another example of how dumbed down this game has become and how easy blizzard wants it to be to appeal to the mass market.

The movies. The books were more important, but the movies were more fun.

That looks just like an operating system I have installed on my PCs. It's called Windows Vista.

LotRO announces a second bonus XP weekend

Oct 24th 2008 12:15PM (Massively)
Double XP weekends / XP increases in general result from one of two conditions:

1. The publisher wants to sell more expansions at any cost to the game play

2. The game is failing and the publisher needs people to feel rewarded for continuing to play.

Whether out of greed (1) or desperation (2) these increases only serve to cheapen the content of the game and the time players have put into the game.

Sony's A900 reviewed: 'Highly recommended' but with caveats

Oct 22nd 2008 10:58AM (Engadget)
I am the first to support more competition for Nikon and Canon, but I have to say as a full frame Nikon shooter, "noticable noise on anything over 400 ISO" is pretty poor for a full frame DSLR. Even Canon's old, old, old 5d did much better than that, and Nikon's new cameras are working at 3200 ISO without much noise.... too bad for Sony fans.
