Are nintendo about to wii their pants . . .

So E3 was a couple of days ago (for those who don't know, its one of the biggest gaming conferences in the tech calender) and Xbox has to be the show stopper at the moment. I have been debating if I were to get a console would i go PS3 (pretty much only for Gran Turismo 5) or Xbox. PS3 on paper is a much better machine, but Xbox just seem to be killing of PS3 as more titles move over to Xbox such as Metal Gear Solid, and the new Splinter Cell (which is exclusive to Xbox now). The cherry on the fast moving gaming cake has to be Xbox's latest announcement code named 'Natal'.

Its pretty much what Wii should have done, completely controller free gaming. Natal picks up 3D motion via a camera, face recognition, voice recognition, with what looks like amazing accuracy. the best way to work it out is to check out the demo video.

Wii or Xbox???? . . . i'm xbox now

Worlds first DJ Battle

So you thought the 2009 DMC Championships is the king of all DJ battles, watch this and think again. The Origins baby . . .

Synth or Guitar?? . . . why not both!!!!

After my last post I have been really interested in MIDI control and some crazy things you might be able to do with some basic know how and some creativity. this has to be one of my favorites right now. I've heard of MIDI control with a GuitarHero axe, but mashing it up with a Korg Kaosilator is genius.

You can make one yourself. Learn how at http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Korg-Kaossilator-Guitar/

Who knows you might be the brand new . . . Synth Slash!!!

Street Fighter Midi Control

In the electro world laptop driven DJ's are starting to really make some noise. I'll admit, I use ableton live to really create a different style of set, kinda like live remix mashup production djing . . . but the key to it all is control. No one wants to DJ and look like they are checking the latest post on TigerVision so maybe you need a controller like this! Custom made, it uses arcade buttons to really give a tactile feel. Next time you drop that big bass line you can do it with a SONIC BOOOOOOM!
