In Space, No Alien PS3 Case Mod Can Hear You Scream

It’s not that I don’t enjoy an Alien PS3 as much as the next guy. It’s just that I would have gone with the famed stomach scene instead. One tattoo artist/case modder molded this Alien PS3 out of super heated epoxy putty—a material that required a few sacrificial burns before becoming immortalized as a 1979…

Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightPad Review: I’m Going to Kill You So, So Bad

Let’s get this much out of the way: Shoryuken for shoryuken, the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightPad is a vastly superior instrument of destruction compared to the standard Xbox 360 controller. Price: $40 Verdict: In one sense, the verdict is that straightforward—the fantastic floating D-Pad and arcade-style six-button layout crush the regular Xbox 360…
