Customer Reviews:
FPS Freek worth the money.
Initially when I saw these, I was skeptical that they would stay on the controller. They snap on very tightly and haven’t fallen off in the 2 months they’ve been on. I got them for my birthday in July and they haven’t been off my controller since, other than to see how much they change the way I play. They are awesome. Within one week of having them, my accuracy on COD4 went up .5%. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but considering that it has never improved in the 30 days playing time I have amassed, I think speaks for itself. On their site, Kontrol Freek recommends taking them off to see just how much they change the gaming experience. I took them off for a total of 45 seconds while playing COD4 and discovered just how much they change the way you play. I couldn’t hit a thing.
I’m 35 and I consider these to be one of the best birthday presents I’ve ever received. I’ve changed my 360 profile to be a billboard for Kontrol Freek in my bio. Totally worth the money. 5 stars isn’t enough to completely describe how I feel about these.
Improves accuracy
FPS Freak definitely improves your game. The added leverage helps your control as well as keep your thumbs feeling great. I was so excited about it that I preordered two when they first came out. Since then all of my friends are using them. I gave them a test, use my controller for a day and then play without one. With the FPS Freak my accuracy in Gears of War 2 is phenomenal (for a guy who isn’t the best at FPS games). I average around 90% headshots with them on (using my stats on […]). They are great combined with the Speedfreak for some games (Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and non-FPS games). They’re sturdy, cheap priced (not cheap quality!), and work for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. Go ahead, try a pair! You won’t regret it.
These are a must have.
I was skeptical about these at first. They take some getting used to, and I only use the one on the right analog stick. But once you get used to them you will wonder how you ever played without them. I play COD MW2. You must also remember to crank up your sensitivity a couple of notches when you use them.

Compare Prices on Megapak
Gioteck has teamed up with VGA to bring you the best possible bundle deal to grace your PlayStation 3. With a retail value of $100, the Mega Pak is a bundle that can’t be passed up.
- Amazon Sales Rank: #3591 in Video Games
- Brand: Messiah Entertainment
- Model: G391
- Released on: 2008-10-01
- Platform: PLAYSTATION 3
- Dimensions: 1.97″ h x 5.91″ w x 11.42″ l, .95 pounds
Features
- GIOTEK’S REALTRIGGERS: The patented clip-on trigger solution for Sony’s PS3 controllers. An essential item for any PS3 owner!
- GIOTECK EX-01 BLUETOOTH HEADSET: Europe’s best selling and most comfortable PS3 headset. You can wear for hours and not even know it’s there.
- GIOTECK’S FLAT HDMI CABLE: 1.5m gold plated HDMI cable that supports 1080p.
- VGA’s 4 PORT MINI USB HUB: A stylish 2.0 USB HUB that can hide almost anywhere, yet looks just as cool out on display.
4 Essentials 4 PS3
————————————————————————————————————————————-
I was looking for a headset on the website and I ran into this marvelous package. I’ve been testing it for 3 weeks and now I have something to add to the previous reviews.
Comes with the coolest headset you can find around.
- Looks great, while playing or using it with your cellphone, I’m a blue and black lover–so I’m not very objective regarding this topic.
- Ergonomic design, the mic is not static, you can actually adapt it depending on the shape of the users face, the size is good but I have always believed that it could be a little larger.
- Great Performance, no complains so far. It could be great if I had the option to charge it while using it, to avoid a 1-2 hours waiting period after playing 4-6 hours in a row -shooter’s fan-
- Full compatibility, it was recognized and registered to my PS3 and cellphone in less than 10 seconds. No connection problems until it runs out of battery..
The HDMI Cable should be included with the console by default.
- Since it doesn’t.. you have to find it somewhere, and this one fills all my needs.
- I’m still saving for a 42 inch LED TV to appreciate all the 1080p resolution my PS3 can deliver, but I’m happy with what I have so far (LCD Monitor 24 inch 1080p)
- I haven’t had problems with the length of the cord yet -my room is very small ..so..- but I do agree with some other reviewers, it could be larger, there is people that locate their huge TVs in high places, if that is your case this cable could give you troubles.
- HD gold plated, which assures a very good speed of response and the best quality.
This one is the most useful addition to my PS3 ever: The 4 PORT MINI USB HUB
- I have the Slim version which comes with only 2 USB ports, a solution was needed–and found.
- Sometimes I have to charge one of the controllers and the headset at the same time, so I’m basically out of ports at that time. I need some extra space for: the thing that has to be connected to recognize the Buzz controllers, the other thing that I have to connect to use my wireless keyboard and mouse, the external Hard Drive and the PS3 Eye Camera (which I rarely use, I but I like it to be connected because I have the space)
- I’m lazy–and the console cant be on my bed always, but this little connector gives me easier access to the USB ports all the time.
- I’ve tried products like the USB HUB before with my computer, they never delivered a good speed or performance as this one does.
Giotek’s Real Triggers:
- Everyone was right -damn- these cheap plastic pieces make my controller look cool, actually my personal one does not look as a regular controller anymore, not after I recently added the FPS Freek to the left analog and the SpeedFreek to the right (I aim with the left one and move with the right analog)
- I do have more control when I’m using them, as an example: when you play KillZone 2 you can just grab a grenade in your hand without having the need to eventually throw it by lightly touching R2 instead of wasting it unnecessarily if you press it completely.
- The PS3 controller fits to everyone, but lets be clear, everyone includes kids as well. Several other players complain about the fact that the controller could be a little bigger. Well mine already is. I’m also interested in Silicone Skin Case for Sony PS3 Controller BTW
- The only problem you may find after customizing your control like certain player do, is that you can get so used to, that it can make you a little dependent on the form, weight and timing of it. But you can always travel with your controller to your friend’s house XD.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Essential
What can I say about the Megapak? It is Essential! I didn’t have any problems with the bluetooth headset not connecting to my PS3 like some other people have had. The triggers are a must for any game using combinations of the L1+L2 or R1+R2 buttons such as Resident Evil 5 and Armored Core for Answer. The HDMI cable works perfectly as expected(a bit on the short side though) and the USB Hub found its way to my desktop to be used with my home computer. All-in-all, a perfect purchase for any PS3 gamer.
Awesome
The mic, was sooo easy to connect, and charge for that matter. The hdmi cord, I can’t physically see a difference yet, but the cord is only 4.5 feet. I don’t really care too much for the R2 and L2 buttons, but it’s no big deal. Definitely worth the money. The mic is awesome good sound quality, and the people hear you perfectly.

Customer Reviews:
Great fun for kids who love singing
I bought this for my daughter and she loves singing High School Musical, Hannah Montana, and Camp Rock. So this was perfect for her. I was really impressed with how Disney put this product together. Normally on Karaoke, you get some fake singer and a generic picture of 2 couples riding a horse on a beach. Not this one. You not only get the actual song, but you also get clips directly from the movie or a clip from the actual concert. The video also looks great on screen. They are DVD quality.Also fun was the duet mode, but you need 2 mics for it.
Now the bad part. They do have a section for trying to teach you how to sing, but it is not done very well. It would have been good if you could pick a song and have them go over it slowly. You do not have control as to what key the song is played in or much control over the mic settings.
However, even though the songs are fast and pretty difficult to sing, my daughter had a blast singing to them.
haven’t played the game but here are the songs for it…
The Disney Sing It set list includes:
Aly & AJ
“Like Whoa”
“Potential Breakup Song”
“Chemicals React”
Hannah Montana
“Best of Both Worlds”
“Life’s What You Make It”
“Nobody’s Perfect”

Surprisingly Enjoyed ZIt
This is actually a very fun game. You get to sing along with the actual singers and their music videos. I purchased the Disney High School Musical Sing It for my girls first, but that was a real disappointment. They weren’t even real characters (computer generated — very generic looking) and you had to have a separate lyrics book for it. It wasn’t shown on screen like this Disney Sing It. This is soooo much better!

Compare Prices on No More Heroes
You are Travis Touchdown, a normal guy (with an otaku geek streak) who wins a Beam Katana through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer. One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it’s up to you to become #1. No More Heroes takes place in the city of Santa Destroy, and you are free to explore the town to your liking, taking on missions large and small to collect money and purchase new weapons as you work up towards the 10 main killing contracts. Gameplay is all about using your Beam Katana (via Wii remote) to defeat enemies.

Oozes Style and Baditude
I just got to the very end of No More Heroes and thought a review was in order. In one word: fantastic. I haven’t had this much fun with a video game since I can’t remember when. Sure, there are technically better games, but I don’t know of any that are as stylish and flashy without losing good gameplay. It’s just outright fun and cool. A bit short, yeah, but I managed to stretch it out to over eighteen hours somehow. (By struggling on bosses and buying more stuff than necessary.)
Let me take on the various arguments against the game:
“The overworld is boring and the bike controls suck.”
The overwolrd is not meant to be like Grand Theft Auto. It’s just a map for you to traverse to get from one place to another. It’s not supposed to be fun, it’s just there to link the main areas of the game. It’s also kind of a way of putting the boredom of the daily commute against the fantastical life of being an assassin. But yeah, the bike does control badly, but if you don’t go too fast or use the running dash in stead, it’s not a problem.
“The story doesn’t make any sense.”
You’ve never played Killer7 if you think NMH’s story makes no sense. The storyline doesn’t make sense because at first it’s not explained all of what’s happening. Seventy percent of the backstory comes in the last mission or so. Then it all becomes clear. Well not clear, but mostly understandable.
“The fighting controls are bad.”
Not really. You tap A to do normal attacks and B to do a stunning kick or grapple and finish off opponenets with a flick of the Wii Remote. You hold the Wii Remote up or down to switch between a high or low stance. It’s like any button-masher of old but more fun and intuitive, and those button-mashers weren’t accused of having bad controls.
The game goes at a somewhat linear fashion. You slay your way through a boss’s lair or general area, take him or her out, take his or her rank, go to the overworld, earn money through jobs and small-time killing gigs to pay for the next match, and repeat. But the bosses themselves are spectacular. They require precise timing and patience to beat. You can’t just rush in and swing your sword wildly. You have to learn all their moves, take advantage of their recovery times, and be like the Samurai Travis wishes he was. The bosses are also interesting and unique from a guy that dresses up as a technologically-powered super-hero to a revolver-toting stadium singer. And some of the fights go completely against everything you expect from a standard boss battle. I especially liked rank number 3.
And the music and sound? It goes perfectly with the type of game. Electric instrumentals and driving beats line the halls as you slay your enemies and almost every boss battle track could be considered a favorite of mine. Much of it is very similar to that type of music used in Killer7.
Content-wise, this game’s M-rated for a reason. Characters drop the F-bomb on several occasions and there’s blood and lots of it. But the graphics are cell shaded and so unrealistic that the violence becomes almost whimsical and never really borders on the side of gory. Honestly, the stuff you see in C.S.I. is worse. And when every few enemies you dispatch yell “My spleen!” it’s hard to take it very seriously.
Overall, as I just said, this is a fantastic game. Some may say it’s not for them–that it’s just not their kind of game, but it sure is my kind of game. And maybe yours, too. From the killer combat system to the plethora of memorable bosses, the sneaked-in 8-bit graphics to Travis’s pet cat, I give No More Heroes a Frank Miller’s Sin City out of Viewtiful Joe.
Spectacular, the best original third-party Wii title yet
From the makers of Killer 7, No More Heroes is the anxiously awaited bloodbath that mature Wii owners have been praying for. Playing as eccentric assassin Travis Touchdown, you are armed with your trusty beam katana as you set out to become the best in the business. There is much more to the story than that though, but without giving too much away regarding the game’s surprisingly deep and complex story, let’s just say that things don’t always go as planned for Travis. The first thing you’ll notice are undoubtedly the excellent, cell-shaded graphics that No More Heroes sports, along with the best use of the Wii motion controls to come from a third-party yet. The game also features some GTA-inspired free roaming with Travis on a motorcycle, and while it isn’t as open-ended as one would hope, the game’s serious sense of style and just plain insane story and gameplay elements more than make up for it. The game also has a somewhat jittery frame-rate that can become quite noticable when the action picks up a lot, but this is only a minor complaint thanks to the stylized, over the top action, along with flawless sound design and elements that really take advantage of what the Wii can do, despite the fact that the console isn’t a technical powerhouse. All in all, No More Heroes is the absolute best, original third-party title to debut on the Wii yet, and is an absolute essential purchase for Wii owners craving a mature-themed game that leaves a lasting impression.
Slick and Stylish
Pros:
+A tolerable storyline
+Fantastic Gameplay
+Beautiful Cel-Shaded graphics
+Good soundtrack
+Good voice overs
Cons:
-Incredibly short game
-Side jobs inbetween the main missions aren’t exciting
-The game is on the easy side
-Despite good Cel-shaded Graphics, more detail could’ve been put into Santa Destroy
No More Heroes is a stylish game. A game that isn’t aimed at the kids by any means but the adult gamer instead. It manages to do so. The humor is crude and the game is incredibly violent. Parents, that’s your warning.
In No More Heroes you play the role of Travis Touchdown. As Travis Touchdown you are the newest member of the United Assassins Association. After the battle with the rank ten assassin, Travis decides that he has to be number one. Your goal is pretty simple. Defeat all the assassins and become the number one assassin in Santa Destroy.
No More Heroes lives up to its M Rating perfectly well. Much of the core gameplay is centered around slashing through the levels to the boss at the end. Your main weapon is a Beam Katana. Despite how some third party games have faired in the past, No More Heroes makes excellent use of the Wii’s controls. The A button simply swings your Beam Katana while B is used to make kicks. Whenever you reduce an enemies life gauge down, the game enters deathblow mode. In Deathblow Mode, an arrow appears on the screen and you must wave the Wii Remote in that direction to execute a killing blow. Despite which way the arrow points you can really swing the Wii Remote anywhere. There’s more to the motion sensor controls. You can grab enemies and perform wrestling moves by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, and you can get into weapon clashes where you must wave the Wii Remote in order to win. These moments are involving. The game has a fine balance between the motion sensor controls and the normal everyday gameplay.
After your first mission and you’re officially admitted into the UAA, you’ll have to start paying to partake in the games main missions. This is where No More Heroes slows down considerably. The rank missions are expensive. There are ways to make money around Santa Destroy by doing part time jobs for people, but they’re hardly fun. They’re mundane jobs like collecting coconuts or mowing lawns. You can do assassination jobs for the UAA which will allow you to be involved in more action, but these missions go by quickly. Finally, there are missions you can go to where the objective is to kill all the bad guys without getting hit once. These missions, however, are over in a flash.
Even worse is exploring Santa Destroy itself. You can cruise around on your stylish bike but there’s really nothing to do in Santa Destroy. You can go train around or buy some clothes to change into or you can buy parts for your Beam Katana. Unfortunately, Santa Destroy is a pretty boring place. You can’t interact with the denizens and the city is actually relatively empty. You can also hang around your apartment and watch videos to learn new wrestling moves or play with your cat and the like.
However, when you get to play the main missions, the game is a lot of fun, and the missions are long and satisfying, especially the boss battles at the end. The bosses are some of the most fun to be had in the game. They aren’t really that hard, however. In fact, the entire game isn’t that hard. It’s also pretty short. Any devoted gamer should be able to finish the game within a couple of days.
In terms of graphics, No More Heroes opts for style over substance. The cel-shaded graphics look good. A few nostalgic 8-bit moments come out as well, which is obviously part of the style. Despite how good the graphics are, much more could’ve been done with it. Particularly with the outdoor environments. At least the game sounds good. With some catchy tunes and good voice overs. There are moments when the dialog can be grating but it’s tolerable nonetheless.
No More Heroes is one of the best titles you can buy on the Wii. While the moments in between missions are slow, the main game itself is fantastic with some good production values. A little more could’ve been done to improve the game overall, but the end result is fantastic.
