Complete with a charging cable and rechargeable battery pack, the Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit is all you need to juice up your Xbox 360 Wireless Controller?even in the midst of battle.

REVIEWVery useful gaming tool.
My last charger broke, but that one was several years old. So I got a black play and charge kit to match my new elite. I can't tell you how many times this charger saved my game when the "your controller is disconnected" pops up on my screen. I wouldn't choose any other charger over this one for my Xbox 360.

Title: The Spiderwick Chronicles
Price: Check Pricing & Availability
ESRBRating: Everyone 10+
Suggested Retail Price: $14.00

Plunge deep into a fantasy world full of mystical creatures when you join the Grace children on their quest to discover the secrets of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Based on Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Films' movie adaptation of the best-selling book series, the video game lets players take on the roles of Jared, Simon and Mallory Grace as they enter the hidden world of the unseen. Play as all three Grace siblings, each with unique abilities, along with Thimbletack the Brownie, whose small size allows players to discover the inner passages of the enchanted Spiderwick home.

REVIEWThere is NO cooperative play
This is not a full review of this movie-based game. I bought it today in order to play along with my son, who enjoyed the books and movie. The box advertises that the game is for 1-2 players, and specifically says that there is cooperative play for 2 players.

This is not true; according to what I've read in the manual, and from reviews elsewhere, the *only* multiplayer component in the game is a competitive "catch the most sprites" minigame that is unlocked as you complete the various levels. I don't want to be a stickler, but "cooperative" is not the same thing as "competitive," and to my mind, when a game advertises itself as having cooperative play, that means that you can play through the story with a friend.

My son seems to be enjoying the game so far, though from what I've seen I doubt it will last. The game isn't particularly good looking visually, and there doesn't seem to be much going on. Though I should point out that I've only seen the first couple of levels/chapters.

My "starred" review is based on the clearly false statement on the box re: cooperative play, and as I said is not intended as a review of the game as a whole.

REVIEWVery nice.
The battery pack is much more convenient than reloading batteries all the time. Also, it comes with the pack to use standard batteries, if you need it. If you buy this product get it from amazon.com, you WILL pay more going to your local walmart or gamestore.

Title: Playseats Classic Gaming Seat (Red)
Price: Check Pricing & Availability

Suggested Retail Price: $249.99

PS2, XBox, GameCube and PC compatibleIncludes storage compartment under the seat and 3 adjustment knobs to position wheel and pedals.Racing wheels and pedals sold separately.

REVIEWGreat seat--G25 works okay
I'd been looking for a solution for playing Gran Tourismo 5 Prologue because sitting on the couch with the wheel clamped to my coffee table wasn't that comfortable.

When I found that there were gaming cockpits available, I couldn't resist, and ordered this one. However, I was worried because I had read that the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel wasn't compatible because the pedals were too long to fit on the platform on this seat.

Once I got the seat, it looked like all that was needed was a spacer between the pedal platform and the pedals to make it work.

A piece of 1x12 lumber cut to the length of the Playseat foot pedal mount provides the separation needed for the G25 pedals to fit.

How the spacer is mounted is up to you. I chose to drill holes in the board to line up with the screw holes in the pedal set (which take M6 machine bolts). Some lag bolts through the board and the steel pedal plate take care of holding the board to the playseat plate. A single set of screws through everything would also work. A paper trace of the pedal set base works great as a drilling template for the pedal mounting screws.

After the spacer is added, the pedals fit perfectly. And--you don't have the annoying steering bar between your legs like you do in the Playseat evolution.

If you're at all handy, and can fashion a ~1" spacer for the pedal set--this seat will work for you.

There is one more thing--like the Evolution, the seat of the Classic folds for easier storage.

In summary, this item was a great addition to my car racing experience. I recommend it highly.
