REVIEW
Pad works fine, but slips around quite a bit The sensitivity on this pad is fine, but you may want to put a no-skid rug backing, or yoga mat down as it travels on carpet.

REVIEW
DECENT Game MLB 2K6 was kind of a dissapointment. 2K5 for the PS2 was a good game, and I was expecting the same here.
Graphics: 7/10. The character models look great, the stadiums look somewhat close to how they actually look, and that's about it. The fans look like sickening chunks of vomit ( can't expect much for it being a PSP ). The character movements are also realistic; which is cool, but it's really bad if you are playing in the outfield. A thing I also noticed, is that some players don't have helmets on when their batting, and some don't have their hats on when they're in the outfield. For me, I noticed that Vladamir Guererro has this problem. Nothing big at all, but it obviously was a mistake made.
Sound: 7/10. The annoying "hardcore elevator music" at the main menu is really annoying. 2K5 didn't have really good music either, though. Just those ESPN beats. The commentators get the calls done, but about 70% of the time, it's not on time. They will often call a play 5 seconds or so after it happens. When you hit the ball, it makes a strange sound, too. It makes the same sound every time, and it just doesn't sound like a bat on ball. It's kind of a sound that would wake you up in the middle of the night after something fell in the garage.
Control: 6/10. These controls are really just pretty damn frustrating. Initially, I thought I couldn't live with pitching; trying to aim the ball at the corners to get these guys swinging; but I did get used to it. That isn't my big problem though; I'd definitely say the fielding is worse. If a ball is hit in the outfield and you for whatever reason accidently move the analog nub in the wrong direction and try to go back towards the ball, you will miss it because the people just take so long to turn around. Another annoying thing that in a real baseball game would easily get a guy out, is the horrible infielding. If there is a ground ball, the guy ( usually the short stop ) will just lob it over to 1st base, when he really should rocket it; which often gets the man on base. Hell, many times there will be an inside the park homerun if your outfielder misses a ground ball rolling into the open. It extremely annoying and pretty much ruins this game.
Fun: 7/10. This game is really not as bad to the point where it's not playable, but it really is not buyable. Rent this game and check it out, you will either like it or won't. There is Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure online play, though, but I haven't played it yet because my Wi-Fi is broken. Wait for the MLB 2K7 addition, or if you can't wait and have a PS2, pick up MLB 2K5. It's a more "complete" game. MLB 2K5 doesn't have trivia during loading times though like MLB 2K6 ;].

REVIEW
Max Payne is great and doesn't limit you to reality. Max Payne is great. Although is face is sort of... graphically challenged, the game is spectacular. This game has a really good rep and its not just one of those games you look at and say "I've never heard of that game so it must not be that important,", the game is great and has 10 out of 10 violence and has alot to do with the mafia and the NYPD. It took me 12 and 3/5 hours to beat straight through. MP gives you the chance to zoom into the game and be Max yourself. Now the question remains... what will you do when you walk home from work and find your wife and baby dead with blood spread everywhere? Exactly. Play and you'll see.

REVIEW
Trigger Trouble The packaging claimed the Pelican Tomahawk was good for all games "land & sea". I tried it on HALO 2. The trigger fire button is programmed to make you jump. So I tried the advertised built in programming function. This function, fully described in the included, skimpy, manual, is supposed to allow you to change the function of a button to another function that one of the other buttons has. A very inconvenient button had the fire function and I wanted it on the trigger. The programming function did not work. I could not switch the fire to the trigger. I contacted Pelican by web and they did respond to me in less than two days (pretty good). But, all they said was
"The flight stick was not made to be used with halo 2. Only with flying games only. We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused."
That does not explain why the programming feature does not work. Nor does it exlpain why the device is touted to work for all games.
In serching the web I have seen posts with the same programming problem I have.
The joystick itself has an adequate , though not great, feel. It is akward to hold and use because the base is light and small. You have to hold it down on a flat surface to used it or hold it with one hand. It is not as solid as I'd like but is servicable. However, if it won't let you fire from the trigger, it is of little value.
