It seems that Nyko is planning to release their own light gun shell attachment called "Perfect Shot". Release date is November 25th, but Amazon wont ship for another 4-6 weeks. Item sells for $14.99 but Amazon is selling it for $12.99.
Although its white and has a orange tip, there will probably be complaints from parents as the gun looks similar to a real gun if someone was to paint it all black.
Features- Traditional one handed pistol-like grip. Tactile trigger activates the "B" button
- Aiming sight increases accuracy
- Wii Remote easily slides into grip and locks into place
- Accessory pass-through port for other attachments like the Nunchuk and Classic Controller
- One hand remains free to operate the Nunchuk or other attachments simultaneously

Wii 5-in-1 Laser Pointer Gun
Manufacturer: PEGA
Site: Buy from Goldenshop
Price: $14.00
Overview : Improve your shooting skills with this 5-in-1 laser pointer gun.
Features- High quality 3rd party product.
- Easy to install.
- Natural Nunchuk trigger combined with the functional innovation of the Wii Remote.
- Ergonomically balanced and weighted gun, comfortable for 1 handed or 2 handed gamplay.
- Maintains Wii Innovation Motion.
- Secure and easy installation. Extended grip for the directional control of the rear nunchuk analog joystick.
- Full access to all buttons and digital pad.
- Can be used as handgun only.
- Can be used as tommy gun.
- Comes with laser targeting - operated by 2 AAA size batteries.
- The Nunchuk can be separated easily.
- The folding angle of the Nunchuk can be adjusted.
Quality/Usability : All these light gun are just plastic shells so you can fit your Wii remote and Nunchuk into them. There are different kinds of light gun attachment whether they are shaped differently or colored differently. But these 3rd party peripheral manufacturers will add anything to their products to attract potential buyers. This time, PEGA has included a laser pointer underneath the gun.
Honestly, the moment I saw this attachment, I knew there was going to be a lot of faults with this. There are two attachments. One is for the Wii remote and the other is the attachment for the Nunchuk.
The top of the main base has a cover. This allows you to insert the Wii Remote control and secure it in place. The tabs that keeps this cover secure feels so cheap and flimsy. Every time I open it or close it, I'm afraid that I may break it. On both sides of the gun is a small opening. This allows you to put the Nunchuk cable through so you can connect to the Wii Remote. So if you're a lefty, you'll have the cable coming out from the right side and if you're a righty, you'll have to cable coming out from the left side.
The front bottom of the gun houses a laser pointer. Yes, the same laser pointer that you use for presentations or annoying people. Underneath the laser is a battery compartment. This battery compartment houses two (2) AAA batteries to power the laser pointer. The trigger itself though feels sturdy and reaches the B button on the Wii Remote. I personally wished it was close to the B button so I dont have to pull so far. Underneath the trigger is a small button. Pressing this button will turn on the laser pointer. The laser pointer fails horribly. It works..as in it points but not where you would think it would point. Instead of pointing straight, its pointed way off to the right. If you're sitting fairly away from the screen, the pointer will be pointed to the right of you. The further away you are, the more way off it will be. See attached images for picture of what I mean.
The Nunchuk attachment holder was poorly constructed as well. The Nunchuk holder is detachable but when its on the base, its not held securely or clipped in place. So you can easily slide it off. This is bad if you're in an intense gun battle and moving your hands around. When the Nunchuk holder is on the base, you are allowed to adjust the position of it by pushing it up. This only works when you hold the gun below your waist but even this feels uncomfortable. If it adjusted down than it would of been better. If you have your right hand on the trigger and your left hand on the Nunchuk, your left hand will be touching your right wrist.
Conclusion : Overall, the Wii 5-in-1 Laser Pointer Gun is one light gun shell you do not want to bother with. The only good things about the accessory is the laser pointer. It actually works and it feels comfortable, if you hold the gun on the left hand and Nunchuk on your right. You can also detach the Nunchuk holder and just hold the Nunchuk controller in your hands. Everything about the 5-in-1 Laser Pointer Gun is poorly constructed.

PSP Slim 2000 Series Component Cable
Manufacturer: DragonPlus
Site: Buy from Goldenshop
Price: $10.00
Overview : PSP Slim 2000 Series Component Cable allows to display videos, photos and play music as well as games on TV.
Features:- High quality 3rd party product.
- Enables component AV output.
- Extra long cable.
- Suitable only for the new Slim Series (PSP-200X).
- Allow to display videos, photos and play music as well as games on TV.
- For playing games, a TV which supports progressive scan is required.
Quality/Usability : DragonPlus has entered the PSP Slim scene with their own Component Cable. DragonPlus is well-known for their 3rd party peripheral in the videogame industry.
Like majority of DragonPlus products, the quality of the cables are sturdy. The biggest complaint about the PSP's video-out feature is that in order to play games, you'll need a TV that has progressive scan. If you dont have a progressive scan compatible TV, you'll be left with only looking at videos and photos.
Once you have selected the PSP's output setting, the image displayed on the TV does not fill it completely but is bigger than we expected. On my 32-inch LCD, it measured approximately 22-inches. This seems to be how the PSP outputs as another PSP Slim component cable that was reviewed also has the same result.
Images were a little washed out compared to the screen on the PSP screen but the images were still viewable and clear. There were jaggies but this is expected since you're taking a small image and stretching it to fit the screen.
Conclusion : Overall, the PSP Slim 2000 Series Component Cable worked well. There wasnt any big complaints except for the minor washed out colors and the noticeable jaggies was expected since you're scaling up an image. For $10.00, the price was very reasonable.
There is also a video showing the XCM 1080p VGA Box allowing you to hook up the PSP Slim component cable and be able to play on a VGA monitor. You can read the news here and our full review on the XCM 1080p VGA box here.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Infinity Ward
Genre: First Person
Players: 1
Well, unlike the other Call of Duty games this one is not set in a world war its set in the more modern times (note the name). This mean you have a selection or more modern guns while still having the classics.
The game is split up into 4 modes - - Requite - Stupidly Easy. This mode is really just the the first time FPS players.
- Regular - For the average FPS player
- Hardened - A level to give good FPS players a good challenge!
- Veteran - No words describe how damn hard this is. You need to be a FPS god and you will still be throwing your PS3 out the window from frustration.
Right at the start of the game it goes through the story line that you have to get a man (not saying too much). Then it puts you into a training level. Which shows you pretty much what to do. This is before even choosing a difficulty mode. This is good for the first time FPS players but its a drag for the real FPS players.
Graphics - What can I say? Call of Duty 4 has state of the art graphics. The character models are beautiful. The guns are perfect. The framerate is stupidly smooth doesn't seem to drop at the most hectic times. Even things like the reloading make you go WOW! Explosions are done perfectly, you can see the bullets soar through the sky. It really is a fantastic experience. I am finding it hard to find something bad to say about the graphics. If i am really picky the dead ragdoll models sometimes gets limbs going through walls etc. but thats all to be expected.
Sound - It really sounds like you are in the game. I know it sounds stupid but it really does. After playing this for a while you really find yourself getting into it little too much because of the mix of great sound and great graphics. The sound could not be more perfect. You can even hear which way the bullets are coming from, and where the voices are coming from. All the guns have there own unique sound, so if you play this game a little too much (me!) you can tell what gun it is. I really don't see how the sound could be much better than this. Nothing bad to say about the sound.
Gameplay - The main story line is great, all varying from different types of play, stealth, sniper and running around like a idiot shooting everything that moves. Basically in the game you have to find people. Thats all i am saying. For my liking the Main story is a little too short. A longer story would be great, but when you have completed the game you still have the online play to fall back on (I will talk about this later). The story is good, everything works well, the AI is great. The only problem is the length.
Online - This game is amazing online. I would even say it is one of the bests games online. Even up against the Online Only Game Warhawk. For a game which was designed not just for online thats very good going.
The scoring works on XP points which go towards Ranks and Ranks go towards more Weapons and Perks. XP points can be achieved by playing games kills etc. and can also be given from Challenges. Challenges do what they say on the tin, you have challenges that you have to do while playing online (150 kills with AK-47 etc.) and when you do them you will be awarded with XP points, and if it was a gun challenge a Add-on to your gun (Scope etc.).
The ranking system unlocks new guns and perks. Perks are sort of advantages that you unlock. (Things like bigger bullet damage, or more health, or drop a grenade when you die). The higher your rank, the better perks you get. Guns work in a similar way the higher your level the better guns you get.
Ranks only go upto level 55, then 'prestige mode' is unlocked. Then you get the option to go back to level 1 loose all your guns and perks but have a different rank logo by your name. This is just for bragging rights really.
Create a Class is where you can make your own class of weapons to use in a game. So when you unlock a new weapon, you can replace it with the old weapon in your custom class. Here you can choose your perks for the classes too.
The game joining system is the one thing that lets this down. You hit find game, then hit the game you want to play and it takes ages and eventually puts you in a game. A system similar to Warhawk would of been much more effective.
Lifespan - This game has the ability to last for ever due to the amazing online play. The main story will last a while, and when you have completed it you will get the urge to complete it again on a harder difficulty. Longer main story is a big thing in my eyes though.
Replay Value 4.5/5
Sound 5/5
Graphics 5/5
Gameplay 5/5
Score:
This is my first ever review, please excuse the bad English and please tell me if you would like to see anything added.

Dont know what to give to your brother, father, boyfriend, husband for the holiday? How about a $150 PlayStation controller cuffling?
These sterling silver cuff links each measure 0.75- x 0.5-inches and closely resemble the famed PlayStation controller. You can also opt to engrave the backing of the cuffling with Sony's stock ticker symbol.

Since the day of release of the much anticipated Rock Band, there have been some problems with the peripherals. Developer Harmonix has issued a software patch which is to fix issues that gamers have been having problems with downstrumming on the guitar. Unfortunately, the software fix doesn't seem to be working for everyone -- some users are reporting fully functional axes, while others are still plagued by the strum problem. Worse yet, other gamers are reporting that the patch has caused their strums to double up -- thus making the game considerably more crappy. But there is another solution, EA is actively honoring warranties for the Rock Band gear, though they say guitar replacement will take nearly two weeks -- which will put you dangerously close to not being able to jam through X-mas.

The Cyber Familator allows you to play original Famicom games on your DS Lite. It even has TV out for your convenience. There is no NES equivalent and there probably wont be any...ever.
Update by wraggster
Via a NES to Famicom adapter you can play your NES favorites on the Nintendo DS.

Mass Effect is the start of what should be an RPG revolution, if RPG creators know whats good for them anyway. Mass Effect is a game set in the year 2148 after humanity discovers an advance called Mass Effect that successfully advances Earth's tech by 200 years. You are commander Shepard, male or female who had a past as deep as his/her future. It is soon placed upon you to save the earth from the geth civilization and Saren, they're "prophet". You will travers countless worlds, make decisions that will influence the universe. And this isn't a lie. This is the real deal.
This game is the peak of RPG evolution. Every choice, every action, every thing you do determines whether you, the universe, your friends, civilians, anybody and everybody, whether they live or die. In every conversation every choice you have is said in a full dialog with reactions fitting the choice you have chosen. Through words and a kind will, or threats and an iron will, EVERYTHING you do effects the world around you. You can became any character you can possibly imagine good or evil, or the often forgotten grey area that exists in the middle. You can even become romantically linked with others. This isn't your average romantics in a game. You have evry choice. You can talk to them, interact however you would in reality. However, unlike reality, you can actual get lucky in Mass Effect  .
The visuals are absolutely some of the best out there. I have yet to see a game with such an amazing level of artistic design and execution as mass Effect. Textures and features are as detailed as they get, resulting in unbelievably realistic characters. Even the aliens look real! The problem: Slowdowns. Quite rare, and usually only during fight extremely explosive fight scenes, they are still there.
Gameplay is stunning. Gears style combat created extremely well, mixed with an RPG element that has no equal. The RPG allows you to became whatever you want, and allows you to effect the universe however you please. Combat is iffy at first, though, but you'll get the hang of it fairly quickly. Slowdowns annoy me constantly though, and glitches happen from time to time. Not enough to actually impact your experience very much.
Sound is just as spectacular as graphics. the loud booms of the ships, the sound of krogan warlord vying to attack or the haunting sound of undead creepers. Music is very fitting, as suspenseful sci-fi plays at points necessary as the adrenaline rush plays with intense combat scenes, and so on. The real deal is the dialog. The greatest voice acting a game has ever received since Bioshock.
This
Game
Rocks.
Final score: 
This game is truly outstanding. This is a Pinnacle of the RPG genre, and there is as of yet not a single game with such innovation and choices as this gold in a DVD.

It seems that there is a new official licenced Wii tower gaming station available for purchase at Walmart. The tower allows you to hold 18 Wii Games and 4 Wiimotes and/or Nunchuks at the top. It looks really appealing but the price doesnt. This can be bought for $69.99! OUCH!
More pictures can be found at Flickr.
