Atari is Back

Published by Newsfactory 0

Atari Flashback 2 is a functional replica of the original 2600, right down to the joysticks and the ports they plug into. There are numerous classic games hard-wired, including Pong, Asteroids, Centipede, Pitfall, and Fatal Run. The entire thing costs just $29.99. The only quirk? Since the included games are a mix of Atari originals and home-brewed knockoffs, some of the graphics are even worse than you remember or might expect.

Revolution or Revulsion?: A Look at Nintendo's Newest Controller

Published by Newsfactory 0

From the curious gyro-bot (R.O.B.) and the akward PowerGlove to the funky, dual-screen goodness of the DS; Nintendo's reputation for springing inventive gadgets on unsuspecting (at times unenthusiastic) gamers is indisputable. Hence, it comes as no surprise that Mario's latest turn ? the controversial "Revolution" controller ? should at first glance appear, well, revolutionary. [ Link ]
