Hey guys, October is here and actually almost over! This months update came out a little bit late, but I still got it out! Here’s what’s set to be released around this month and even going a little into November.
Fallout: New Vegas was released on October 19th 2010 and although I haven’t purchased it, if you are a Fallout fan in any way, by all means go pick this game up. From what I’ve heard this is basically just another Fallout 3, so if you didn’t get enough of it, well here it comes again!
Another one that was getting some hype and quite a bit of television air time was Medal of Honor, which was released on October 12th 2010. Now once again, I didn’t purchase this game, but my reasoning was that I just heard lots of bad news about this game. Everyone that I know that purchased this game said it was terrible and needed a lot of work. Even graphically they said it was just disappointing all around, so if you’re thinking of picking this one up, I would say either give it a rent or just move on without it.
October has one super huge day for this history of gaming on the 26th. There are so many games coming out on this day that it’s hard to even count them, but I’m just going to quickly name a couple of the big names.
The first one is Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2. Now I only played the PSP version of this game and I had an awesome time with it and really enjoyed playing it a lot and I’m considering picking this one up because graphic wise also, this game looks phenomenal!
Next is Fable III. Now the only thing I’m going to say about this one is that this series is the one and only series that actually makes me reconsider buying a 360 for. They supposedly fixed a lot of things from the last game and listened to a lot of their audiences feedback to really make this game an absolute must buy!
Last, but not least we have Smackdown 2011 coming out. Now I’m not a huge fan, I’m more of a UFC fan myself, but this game doesn’t look too shabby, so if you’re a fan, you’re probably going to want to pick this up and give it a try.
Overall, this month is pretty super busy compared to the last few months in the video game release world, so make sure you take advantage of some of these titles that are coming out, because some of these look pretty freaking awesome!
After almost three weeks of grueling testing, I have finally formed my opinions on the Nox Specialist gaming headset. Before we get started, let me just say that I have put off buying a nice pair of headphones for quite a while now and now that I have finally got around to it, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and I could bet you would be as well if you choose to purchase a pair!
I’m first going to start by going over the build quality and durability of the Nox Specialist gaming headset. Let me inform you that these headphones have traveled from Pennsylvania, to New York, to Florida, to Michigan, to Las Vegas and they’re still not broken or worn down in any way. This pair of headphones aren’t too bulky, but they hold their own when it comes to durability. These little guys can take a fair beating before they’re going to crap out on you, so you’re going to have to intentionally try and break these if they’re going to break at all.
Next up is, of course, sound quality. Now I was doubtful about this aspect, because they aren’t built for noise canceling, so I figured, if there’s outside noise, it doesn’t matter how good the sound quality is, if you can’t hear it, there’s no use for it. Thankfully, this wasn’t the case with the Specialist headset. These things can really pack a punch and they really have THE BEST sound quality I have heard in a long time. The sound sounds like you really have speakers all around you, they did an amazing job with these things and they are well worth the money.
The next aspect to cover is the comfort. I know a lot of people who will sacrifice a little bit of sound quality and even durability as long as the headset is comfortable. Well, the Specialist headset has memory foam earcups that just feel like clouds on your head. These are extremely comfortable and don’t squeeze your head and don’t even make your head get all hot because of them heating up your ears. There’s nothing here I can complain about, so that is a very good thing!
Were almost through, one of the last things I’m going to bring up are the features of this gaming headset. There is some really awesome designing that has been implicated with the Specialist Headset that I am really intrigued with. On the right ear cup there is a volume rocker and a mute switch for the microphone, which, by the way retracts on the left side so that when it’s not in use you can retract it and nobody would even know it’s there! The microphone by the way is also has amazing sensitivity and pics up so much sound so crisp and clear that it almost gets to be a pain, but better more than less. One other very cool feature is the ability to remove the wire, so that if the wire goes bad, the whole headset doesn’t get junked, all you have to do is replace the wire and the headset will continue to perform!
Compatibility is last, but for no specific reason. Nox advertises that the specialist headset can be used with Xbox 360, PS3, PC, iPhone iPods, Laptops, and many cell phones and other mp3 devices. This ability alone adds a TON to the value of this headset as far as I perceive it. I love gadgets that have multiple uses and this headset hasn’t let me down yet. These work great with everything mentioned above and they do their job just as you would hope they would.
Overall, I would say if you’re considering purchasing a higher end pair of headphones and maybe even considering a Turtle Beach headset, I would say give the Nox Specialist headphones a try, just see how you like them, because I know I sure am happy I gave them a shot!
