Memorex, owned by Imation, has come to CES 2012 with a nice-sized handful of gaming accessories mostly targetting Nintendo consoles. The more interesting 3DS product was the Universal Game Selector. It attaches directly to the 3DS and allows for instantaneous game switching via a slider on the rear. The entire unit is sits on the back and holds 3 games.
If you want some good tunes, laughs, and an overall good time with friends, Just Dance 3 is a great way to do that. It may not be as You Got Served-serious as Dance Central, but that’s a good thing.

Why have I owned nearly 20 video game systems over my lifetime? And why do they continue to occupy valuable apartment space? The answers to questions one and two are quite simplistic, but three and four would require the joint efforts of Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony to create the ultimate gift to gamers: The universal video game console.

But what separates this fight pad from a number of others is the excellent button construction; it uses clicky (very clicky!) arcade-style microswitches in both the thumbstick and face buttons. The result is an extremely responsive controller laden with accuracy. I was able to pull off complex moves and combos with ease while playing King of Fighters XIII and King of Fighters ’98: Ultimate Match. My only gripe is that the controller feels a bit light; I prefer my pads with a bit of weight, but that’s a small, personal niggle.

SEGA tried to do some interesting things here and sadly came short, due to the horrible controls and voice acting. The concept is interesting, and maybe with a bit more polish the came could have been a winner.

All in all, RAGE is a great game and a great way to pass the time. If you want a shooter that will have you working for the kill and giving you that small RPG thrill; go for RAGE. If you want that shooter where you can take online and get some top kills with your friends, look somewhere else. In fact, that’s the only reason why the game doesn’t walk away with a 2D-X Excellence Award. The ending is a bit abrupt; it’ll have you waiting in front of your television for more…and then you’ll see the credits roll. It wasn’t a true cliffhanger, but don’t be surprised if id announces RAGE 2.
