PS4's list of announced games so far

The PS4 is a fairly new system and it's understandable that there isn't much games rolling out as compared to the PS3. It is less than 6 months old after all. But if you're wondering what is planned for release on the new system, Sony  released a good list in their PlayStation US blog to keep us informed.

A mighty fine list of announced titles. What are you excited for? If your still not excited to jump to the next generation of console gaming, wait for E3 2014 in June. It's almost certain a lot will be revealed considering this is the first event with each of the big three's consoles are officially out.

Kontrol Freek - Rcade Freek for PS3 and Xbox 360

Datablitz just got a wave of products from KontrolFreek. I'm a sucker for gaming accessories and have been looking for these in local shops for quite some time now.

I personally find the analog sticks on the PS3's dual-shock 3 controller a tad on the short side and while I don't have the most precise aim in shooters, better leverage on your thumb sticks is never a bad thing. I could have gone for the more regular grips like the classic or the FPS Freek but ever since I found out about the Rcade Freek back in like 2011, those piqued my interest the most.

They grip on the analog sticks quite well and don't get knocked off easily unless your really force it. The smooth rounded plastic surface of the Rcade Freek keeps true to the style of cherry top arcade sticks and while they may not provide the best grip to your thumb, the increase in height definitely adds leverage and could in turn provide more presicion in your gaming.

I don't really use the analog sticks for fighting games except for maybe Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 but I chose the Rcade Freek for the throwback to old arcade machines. Datablitz had them in two colors, Throwback Black and Retro Red and priced at 495php a pair which ain't bad. I might go back and get me one of those FPS Freek ones next time.

Dragon War Thor Gaming Mouse

We here at TMG have tried a few Dragon War products and for the most part have had good experiences with them. I saw the Dragon War Thor Gaming Mouse and thought that design wise it looked pretty neat, came with a mouse pad, and had a very reasonable price.

My previous mouse was just a simple A4Tech optical mouse. It still works fine but I didn't have a mouse for my laptop and using the touchpad is kind of a pain in the ass. So after getting the Dragon War Thor mouse, I gave the old A4Tech mouse to my laptop and the desktop got the new one. Glad to say that the Dragon War Thor mouse works pretty damn well. It's more sensitive and much more responsive than any other mouse that I've used before.

I believe the mouse was priced at 795php which is around $17-$18. Definitely not a bad price. The mouse cycles through 6 different colors and can be set to have either a breathing light or a rapidly blinking light. You can also set the light to glow in one of the six colors that you can choose from if you don't like the Christmas-y light show.

The buttons are pretty simple, aside from your usual left, right and middle clicks and your mouse wheel, there are two programmable buttons on the left side of the mouse near where your thumb would be and a rapid fire left click button which is the green button near the left click. There is also a button that lets your cycle through 4 DPI settings. The wire is threaded like a shoe lace so no worries about it getting tangled. The USB is also gold plated for maximum contact and extra points for being fancy.

Dragon War packaging has also been pretty good for all their products. It's stored in a long vertical box. You get a good view of the mouse itself via a clear window on the top of the box and another window for the mouse pad on the bottom. Included in the box is the Dragon War Thor gaming mouse, a pretty wide mouse pad, a small manual, and a mini software disc. The software lets you control the light feature, program the macro buttons and change profiles if you have multiple settings.

Here is the product description from the Dragon War site:
