Winning the 2012 Console War

Winning the 2012 Console War

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the three major console manufacturers announcing their next generations of consoles in 2012. Nintendo has already beaten their competition to the punch by announcing Wii U at this year’s E3 convention. Rather than speculate on what the consoles will and will not have I decided to look [...]

Dead Rising 2 Walkthrough

Dead Rising 2 Walkthrough

*NOTE: I know this game was made by Blue Castle Games, in Canada, but it’s  still basically the same game as DR1. Same people worked on it too, and  Capcom made the first game.* I believe this game demonstrates the theory that Eastern game developers have already lost to the West. What is this new [...]

Hyperkin PS3 Text Link Remote Review

Hyperkin PS3 Text Link Remote Review

Despite its slow start in the console war, the PS3 has come into its own of late, as it is a very strong multimedia powerhouse in addition to a great gaming machine.  What the commercials say really is true: The PS3 just does about everything. My PS3 is practically a dedicated multimedia PC.  It streams [...]

ATEN VS481A 4-port HDMI Switch Review

ATEN VS481A 4-port HDMI Switch Review

We have reviewed ATEN products before, as they make great KVM switches. The last one we reviewed was geared towards the PC gamer and included DMI and audio switching. Anyone who has been around home theater for the past twenty years has seen the industry change the video cables from RF cables, RCA, S-Video, component [...]

3D TV is Coming

3D TV is Coming

Listening to Lenny Lipton tiptoe through the history of 3D content production and viewing technology, he almost convinced you that 3D TV is finally just around the corner. Oh sure, the internationally renowned author and inventor acknowledged that there were still a few obstacles to overcome – like standards — but after more than 40 [...]

Off Course: PAX 2009 Review and Grade

Off Course: PAX 2009 Review and Grade

The 2009 installment of PAX has come and gone. As the show seems to get larger and larger, so do the lines, the swag, and of course, the games. Before I go into my review, I want to state right now to the general public that for 50 dollars (not counting parking) you’re getting a [...]

Turtle Beach EarForce p21 Headphones

There was no shortage of gaming headphone vendors at PAX 09.  Not only were Astro, Dolby and Tritton there, but Turtle Beach was showing off some of their headsets designed for gamers. The one PC headset they had was the EarForce p21.  This headset offers high fidelity and is incredibly lightweight for an “around the [...]

Evercool Defender Turbo Cooling Fan for PS3

Evercool Defender Turbo Cooling Fan for PS3

Sony’s Playstation 3 is well known for being loud and hot. Unfortunately, those are not qualities that most people look for in electronics, especially when it comes to gaming systems. One of the most highly recommended accessories for the PS3 or Xbox 360 are cooling fans, and Evercool has produced the Defender Turbo Cooling Fan [...]

Rock Band Unplugged for the PSP!

Rock Band Unplugged for the PSP!

It seems like after several long years, the PSP is finally coming of age.  Last month, Sony released Resistance: Retribution for the PSP (read our review here).  This is one of the first games on the PSP to make extensive use of the internet, and Sony’s Playstation Network.  Sony is finally starting to flex its [...]

Hard-core Gamers Losing Their Edge

Hard-core Gamers Losing Their Edge

Hard core gamers have lost their “most sought after” position for video game system and software producers.  Without a lot of fanfare the developers/manufacturers have found that there is a huge general and casual gamer market out there… young or old, male or female. It came as a rude shock to our son…he was no [...]

Killzone 2 Review

Killzone 2 Review

Sony and Guerilla games have combined to produce the first must have game for 2009. Killzone 2 is a non-stop thrill ride that is easily the best first person shooter developed for the Playstation 3 console. The game follows up the events of the first game as well as the popular Kilzone: Liberation for the [...]

CES 09 Wrap-Up

CES 09 Wrap-Up

Ok, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2009 was off a little in the number of exhibitors and attendees. So?  It was a crappy second half of ’08 folks. No one has been drinking happy juice about the prospects for the next six months!  Best guess there were only about 90,000 people at the Vegas show (after 5-10 shows [...]

Happy New Year to all! Welcome to the first Wrath of El Pato for 2009. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and had Santa show up at their door loaded with presents. I got a pink slip! It was so nice of him, let the job hunt begin! It’s been so long since I’ve [...]

How to Overclock your PSP

How to Overclock your PSP

The chip in your PSP was designed to run faster than it does out of the box.  By default, the CPU runs at 222Mhz, but the MIPS R4000 processor was designed to run at 333Mhz with a 166Mhz bus. I don’t need to spell out for you what it means that the most powerful handheld gaming device [...]

X-oom Podcast Studio Review

X-oom Podcast Studio Review

Everywhere I go, I see people with iPods.  They started with less than 1GB of space, went up to 2GB and 4GB, and then there were rumors roaming the web about an astoundingly huge 30GB version… with video.  And now we have an 80GB version that has music, movies, games, internet, and just about anything [...]

Black Friday relapse, Spike TV Awards

Black Friday relapse, Spike TV Awards

Welcome to the Wrath of El Pato. The column that somehow can be…weekly? So the Xbox 360 kicked ass during Black Friday. That’s surprising. A few months ago I said that the reason Sony was selling better than Microsoft simply was because everyone already had an Xbox. No one had a PS3, and if you [...]

Great Games for 2008 Christmas!!!

Well it only took me a month. Welcome to another Edition of the Wrath of El Pato, the awesome column that gets delayed more than a Final Fantasy title. There really isn’t anything per say recently I want to address, other than this one question: HOW F**KING GOOD WAS IT TO BE A GAMER THIS [...]
