Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse Reviewed. Verdict: Near Perfect Balance Between Performance and Ergonomics

By Ian Chiu

Logitech has always been known for their great peripherals and have consistently released some down right marvelous mice. To many consumers when they think “mouse” they think Logitech; unfortunately, not every GAMING user thinks Logitech when think gaming mice. This is the crux of the matter, so what can Logitech do to not only outdo their past models but more importantly, entice even more jaded PC gaming aficionados away from the competition and back to Logitech?

The answer Logitech has come up with is to offer a seamless wired / wireless combination mouse with a down right whopping 13 buttons and call this beast the “G700″! The Logitech G700 gaming mouse certainly is an interesting solution and one that merits closer investigation. One thing that is now gone is the weight customization which has been with the G5, G9 and G9x. So, the mouse could be too heavy for some. The G700’s battery life also fails to impress. You could only get about six to eight hours out of the single AA battery. Perhaps this is the reason why Logitech provides a USB cable that also turns the G700 into a wired gaming mouse and at the same time re-charges the 2000mAh battery inside. The Logitech G700 isn’t perfect, but it certainly qualifies as a killer gaming peripheral as well as a all round everyday mouse. Everything USB has the full review.

SEGA’s UFO Balance Catcher Arcade Game Puts Those Wii Balance Board Skills To Good Use

By Andrew Liszewski

SEGA’s original UFO Catcher game was introduced way back in 1986 and used conventional ‘claw game’ controls, but this new version, which premiered last week in Japan, features a balance board/rocker platform requiring you to move your body in order to guide the claw mechanism to your desired prize. And instead of it being a one-shot deal, there’s actually a time limit letting you make as many attempts as you can, and you can even get a time extension by rocking back and forth on the platform like a madman, filling up a meter which freezes the countdown when it’s full. I’ve included a video of the game in action below, but you might want to turn your speakers down a bit because the background music has already given me a headache.
