Product of the Month: PS3 controller

 

Amazon has a good price on a PS3 controller. You will want to have at least 2 of these when playing with friends locally and also a spare when the left analog stick gets broken (I have been through 4 controllers in two years). Keep your receipt and you can send it back within 1 year to replace it under warranty.

But be sure to save the receipt somewhere you will find it in about 9 months so you can exchange it.

Super Rub a Dub:

Super Rub-a-Dub - Review - One of the First Online PS3 Games


Super Rub-a-Dub (the duck game available on the Playstation store)

This game is not something hardcore gamers would normally play. When I had some younger friends over, I wasn’t able to play gory shooter games, so I decided to play this.
There are three stages in this game. Easy, Normal and Hard. Each have about 20 levels that I have played. The interesting thing about this game is that you can actually be competitive online with people and see how you rank against others online.

Tilting the controller is how you control the duck. This is annoying because sometimes you over tilt and fall off the side, or narrowly miss another duck and messing up your time. The sharks are annoying as well, but you can knock them over the edge by quickly tilting the controller. (this also makes your duck jump).

After you do certain things/achievements, you unlock new Ducks. For some reason, that motivates me to continue and unlock more. There are some ducks such as gold ducks, alien ducks, devil ducks and space ducks. The person who made this game was obviously “creative”. I would not say this is a game for older players, but it does provide a competitive gaming experience for early gamers, and also provides some downtime for older gamers in between their other games for a change of pace.

The music in this game is very relaxing and even sleepy, sure a great unwind in between blasting games.

I rate this game (for younger gamers) an 8.
