We can expect some awesome new features coming out way with Nintendo's next generation gaming console.
Oh boy, looks like yet another gadget is being killed off. After Microsoft killed the Zune and Cisco killed their Flip line of cameras, it's Sony's turn and they're killing the PSP Go. The PSP Go was first introduced to replace the PSP 3000 portable gaming system but it never took gamers love from the start with its digital only games and inability to play UMD games and movies where past PSP models where able to do. Sony's PSP 3000 is still living strong and is one of the most popular portable gaming systems on the market. Farewell PSP Go, you will not be missed.
Retro arcade gaming fans will love ThinkGeek's iCade arcade cabinet made by ION for the iPad. With the growing classic style arcade apps for the iPad, the iCade seems like the perfect gaming buddy.

The much anticipated Portal 2 hits stores this month and we're already seeing new snippets of in-game gameplay hitting the World Wide Web. Here is a new in-depth look at the new Portal 2 from GameTrailers, which might I add, looks like it could possibly be more mind bending than Inception.
Psyko's new Krypton PC gaming headset with 5.1 surround sound now replaces the discontinued Psyko 5.1 gaming headset and its set to improve on audio quality, removable mic mounting and reduce sound leakage. Paired with the new Psyko Krypton gaming headset is a Psyko Amplifier used to power and drive these huge headphones with fully adjustable bass and volume control. A neat little feature on the Kryptons allow you to easily talk with your buddies around you without having to remove the headset thanks to the side ear cup vents that pivot open and also let cool air flow in. The Krypton set will run you $149.99.
The Carbon gaming headset will set you back $199.99, and it too packs all the same features as the Krypton but adds small extras like gold plated connectors, braided tangle-free cable and more high-performance speakers. These headsets were designed specifically for gaming and pwning noobs with real 5.1 surround sound, sounds good to me. Both the Carbon and Krypton gaming headsets are available right now.
The wait is finally over for Nintendo fans, the new Nintendo 3DS portable gaming console is now on sale. The 3DS brings real 3D gameplay without the use of 3D glasses or other accessories. Besides playing games in 3D, you can take photos in 3D using the built-in stereo 3D cameras as well as watch videos in 3D. There are further hardware improvments over the older Nintendo DS like new input interfaces including a Circle Pad, gyro and motion sensors. The good thing is you can turn off the 3D graphics if you start to feel nauseous. See the Nintendo 3DS hardware specs after the break.
Here is a good example of what you could really do with your iPad 2 and Apple's Digital AV Adapter. Firemint's Real Racing 2 HD for the iPad 2 is the first iOS app to take full advantage of the ability to mirror the iPad 2's screen on a larger external display or HD TV using the Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable to output native full 1080p resolution without any black bars. Real Racing 2 HD retains its crisp and gorgeous graphics at full screen 1080p and it will compare with gaming consoles. Your iPad 2 is your controller as well as a full track map and statistic display. The update to enable all of this will be available soon. In the meantime, check out the video below.
