Games For PC

Games For PC


FPS Vest to Make PC Gaming More Real?
By Kirk Jensen


What are gaming peripherals? These are add on gear to make console and computer video gaming more accessible, more realistic and more fun. Not all gaming peripherals have been bad take for example the widely successful games and the peripherals that went with them like Dance Dance Revolution and the Guitar Hero Series.

But consoles aren't the only systems getting into the gaming peripheral act. The 3rd FPS Vest has software drivers that supply limited effects to games such as "Unreal Tournament 3," "Crysis," and "Medal of Honor: Airborne," to name a few.

Another PC peripheral on the market is Phillips Electronics' Philips SGC5102BD amBX 2.1 PC Gaming Speaker System Peripherals ProGamer Kit (Includes 2 free games) which takes a multi sensory approach to pull you the gamer deeper into the game. Games for the amBX PC System, include Supreme Commander and Quake 4. How it works is that the effects emanate from the game: red lights flash on the speakers as your character takes damage, wind from the fans buffets your face while you run and the wall behind your monitor glows with colors tuned to the game's environment.

People who tested the 3rd Space vest at first liked it. The Phillips' amBX PC System looks brighter in the gamers eyes. Probably not, but the success of this new generation of gaming depends on the thoughtful game design as much as the new gear that comes with it.
