Saitek JI3G Cyborg 3D Gold USB JoyStick

Saitek JI3G Cyborg 3D Gold USB JoyStick Review





Saitek JI3G Cyborg 3D Gold USB JoyStick Feature


  • 8 fully programmable buttons
  • Trigger, 3 fire buttons, 8-way hat switch, and smooth lever throttle
  • 3-D twist handle for precise rudder control
  • 2 base-mounted, command-doubling shift buttons
  • Fully customizable, ambidextrous design



Saitek JI3G Cyborg 3D Gold USB JoyStick Overview


Cyborg USB Gold Stick is the ultimate game controller (over 24 programmable functions) offering total adjustability for left- and right-handers of all sizes. This powerful and precise joystick (SGE programmable, 3D Twist, single spring, excellent grip) has a cool, distinctive look and is easy to use. The Cyborg USB Gold Stick incorporates 10 buttons, 8-way hat switch, lever throttle and shift function.


Saitek JI3G Cyborg 3D Gold USB JoyStick Specifications


Designed to suit any player and any joystick-oriented title, the versatile Cyborg 3D Gold USB joystick features both a customizable, ergonomic grip and fully programmable controls. Featuring four buttons, two command-doubling shift buttons, a rotary throttle wheel on the base, three fire buttons, and an eight-way point-of-view (or "hat") switch on the top of the control, the Cyborg boasts up to 24 programmable functions plus a trigger and push throttle. The included Saitek Gaming Extensions (SGE) software lets you quickly and easily assign button functions and also allows you to create specific profiles for different games, auto loading them into the joystick at the start of a game.

A built-in hex head wrench allows you to modify the head tilt, head roll, palm rest, and throttle for flexible left- or right-handed gameplay orientation. And the comfortable, rubberized palm rest, minimizing fatigue during prolonged play, can be raised or lowered to accommodate either small or large hands.

For flight sims, the precise 3-D twist function of the stick offers smooth, precise rudder control. And for driving games, in which the joystick is steadily pushed forward for acceleration, the stick's long-throw, spring-loaded tension and accurate electronics provide excellent tactile response.

Featuring easy-to-use USB plug-and-play connection, the Cyborg 3D Gold USB is compatible with both PC and Mac computers. It comes with a one-year warranty.

Icewind Dale (Mac)

Icewind Dale (Mac) Review





Icewind Dale (Mac) Feature


  • Does not operate on Mac OS 10.2 or later.



Icewind Dale (Mac) Overview


Icewind Dale intentionally avoids a sophisticated role-playing-game plot in favor of classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons dungeoneering. The game is set in the frigid corner of the Forgotten Realms made famous by author R.A. Salvatore's novels. Many fantasy fans will be familiar with the popular setting, but this time you get to create the heroes, and the adventures are your own.

Veterans of Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment will find BioWare's Infinity game engine instantly recognizable and usable. AD&D fans will be pleased with the interpretation of AD&D 2nd Edition rules. With a few exceptions (no kits, no Drow player characters, no two-weapon fighting), you can assume that if it's in the rule books it's in Icewind Dale.

Players can create six characters from standard AD&D 2nd Edition races and classes as they set off to find an ancient evil buried in the Spine of the World. Combat occurs in real time (no turns), but the action can be paused at any time in order to issue new orders, prepare spells, or respond to a new threat. The designers keep combat fast by allowing players to assign an artificial intelligence combat script to individual characters. Your party can encounter a minor monster, fire arrows as it approaches, attack it with fighters when it gets close, and then get healed by the cleric when the fighting is done--all without your intervention.

Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment kept players hooked with an engrossing story line, and, in the case of Planescape, excellent writing. Specifically designed as a more action-oriented "hack and slash" RPG, Icewind Dale relies on combat and character advancement as its own reward. While it lacks the random dungeons and incredible magic items of Diablo, the high experience point cap and the ability to create all six of your party members make Icewind Dale a worthy addition to any AD&D fan's game library. --Michael Fehlauer

Pros:

  • Ability to create your entire party
  • Slick computer game conversion of AD&D 2nd Edition rules
  • Faithful re-creation of the Icewind Dale region as detailed by TSR and R.A. Salvatore
  • High experience point cap lets players wield tremendous power--and face equally powerful foes

Cons:

  • Interface takes up too much of screen
  • Little replay value
