Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit
I love the 360’s wireless controllers, but the Play & Charge cable was always a pain – it’s not long enough for me to actually use while playing, and it’s pretty messy looking hanging out the front of the console. So the new Quick Charger is a nice addition. It connects directly to a power outlet and the batteries from the controllers just clip onto the side of it. Should have been out in November, but better late than never.

SSBM – Eh?
I was reading about some anticipated Nintendo E3 announcements (beyond the Revolution Wii itself) and one of them was the anticipated new version of Super Smash Brothers Melee. Now I know this is one of the most popular GC games ever, and I have a copy, but …. I don’t get it. I’m probably the only gamer in the world who just doesn’t like this game very much. To me it seems like a pretty standard fighting game (which I’m generally pretty bad at) but with smaller characters and a platform based arena. Maybe it’s better if you remember all the moves and/or have a bunch of friends over with some brewskis.
