Max Shooter XBOX & PS2 Keyboard
& Mouse Adapter Review
by Jeromy
The third and latest XBOX/PS2 keyboard & mouse adapter
to hit the market is the Max Shooter. Before this adapter
was released there was a good chance that the guy destroying
you in Halo 2 was using a regular XBOX controller and
not one of the previously released keyboard & mouse
adapters. Enter Max Shooter stage right. Now you should
be afraid, very afraid, as the Max Shooter basically turns
the console FPS into a PC FPS with all the accuracy that
that entails. After spending a good few days playing Halo
2, Socom II, and Unreal Championship 2 there is little
doubt that FPS games were mostly made to be played with
a mouse and keyboard.
The Future
of Video Games
by Daniel Punch
I’ve recently been thinking about where video games
could be going in the future. I’m hoping to work
in the game industry one day after I’ve finished
university study and I’ve been wondering about it
a lot. What do I want to see happen in the future? Well
I may not have too many answers right now, but I have
come up with a few ideas that I think may come into ‘play’
in the not too distant future.
