Our friends over at Akihabara News recently got the chance to test the real-life Initial D arcade machines, and provided us with some interesting footage. Video after the break. Click here for more pictures.

I have to say that I was not prepared for such FUN! Not only are the video game and graphics quite nice and very realistic when it come to the driving experience, but also, the roads in the video games are taken from real roads in Japan (or sometimes are close to real ones). But, the moving platform, in my opinion, is the real killer in this game; it is as violent as in real life, and you will feel your car drifting or doing a power slide as real as if you where in a real car, on a real road

GT provides us with a new Crysis trailer, titled “Arsenal”. What makes this game challenging is that “the levels are designed so that there are a lot of enemies that respond to each other and recognize danger.” Video after the break. Click here for more pictures.

Considering the levels are littered with cover for the enemies to take advantage of, this was simply another reminder that the nano suit and its powers are necessary for success

Master modder Ben Heck is at it again, and this time he builds a one-handed Xbox 360 controller, called “Access Controller”. Click here for more pictures. Here’s how it works:

You lay this controller on your leg, table or arm of a chair and all the buttons are available on the top surface. The gag is that each of the five sections is removable and you can plug them anywhere you want. This not only makes the controller work for both left and right handed use (simply mirror the layout) but it also allows the user to optimize the button placement on a game-by-game basis

If you thought your gaming rig was cool, then check out this setup. It consists of three Eizo S1931 LCD screens @ 3840×1024 resolution, connected to a Matrox TripleHead2Go. Video after the break.

I currently have time off of work, so I thought that I could record some footage of Half Life 2 Episode 1 (with the latest Cinematic Mod) on my triple monitor setup. I have had it up and running since Friday 19th October, and I am loving it already. If there was support for ultra wide videos on GT, then I would have simply used FRAPS to record this footage in-game, so you wouldn’t be mostly staring at my crappy room, but sorry, this will have to do

In Super Off Road, “up to 3 players (4 in the NES version through use of either the NES Satellite or NES Four Score) compete against each other or the computer in racing around several top-view indoor off-road truck tracks of increasing difficulty.” ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

Good results earn the player points to continue in the championship and money with which to upgrade their truck or buy more nitro boosters. The goal is to reach the end of the season with the most money earned
