Here’s Microsoft / Razer Reclusa, a pitch-black keyboard designed specifically for gaming. Among the features we find Razer Hyperesponse Gaming Key Action put in place to reduce the dreadful key latency, blue LED backlit keys for late night sessions, two 360° jog-dials, six programmable gaming hot keys, gold-plated USB ports and a detachable and padded wrist rest.

I4U did a full review of the Reclusa and found it pretty appealing (7.5/10), while reporting on some issues - could be worth a read if you’re about to buy one.

If you had an old Gameboy you didn’t know what to do with, what would you do? You’d rip it apart and cram it with all the parts necessary for a fully functional PC running Windows XP of course. While the original display is MIA it does feature a VGA port for a monitor, two USB ports, one Ethernet port for happy networking and the A and B buttons has been gifted with LEDs indicating power and activity status.

Here’s Feltris - cuddly felt pillows with polyester wadding shaped like the good ‘ol building blocks in Tetris. Just make sure you wear your 8-bit tie when you open your NES Controller Wallet to pay for them.

IGN got to spend a little time with EA’s upcoming Nintendo Wii title Boogie - a party game focusing on both syncing your nunchuk and Wii remote to sequences of dance moves and singing using the USB-connected microphone shipped with the game. And yeah, you’ll score depending on how well you sing like in Karaoke Revolution and Singstar.

There’s no set release date yet but rumors say sometime near christmas.

Here’s a trailer for LucasArt’s upcoming PS3 / Xbox 360 game Fracture.

From IGN:

Fracture advances players to the year 2161, where ecological and seismological disasters have radically altered the planet’s landscape, and a clash in ideologies places society on the threshold of war. Players set foot on the frontlines as Mason Briggs, a demolitions expert fighting for the Atlantic Alliance. Pitted against the genetically enhanced soldiers of the Pacifican army, players will experience a revolution in 22nd-century warfare.

The guy who created the Zelda Wii case mod has done it again and this time on a Nintendo DS Lite. This one-of-a-kind Zelda DS features a rotating metal diecast master sword and shield crest, white backlightning and a custom charge stand.

It’s currently up for grabs on eBay (15% of the profits will go to charity), and the current bid is $610.00.

The guy in the video above plays the first two minutes of Super Mario Bros with his eyes closed and his back turned. If this isn’t proof of humankind truly being a divine species I don’t know what is (OK, if he’d played the most annoying Super Mario mod ever he’d get a few extra points).

So what do you think, are we dealing with plain old-fashioned cheating here (mirror on the NES controller?) or is he just gifted with a pretty useless superpower?

Tired of the juice running out on your PSP? BlueRaven’s battery extension promises 15 hours of quality gameplay (that’s up to seven times longer than the default battery). The battery comes in a rubberized black finish made to blend in nicely with the rest of the PSP design.

Okay, the picture sucks but what you’re looking at is a mass-produced light gun for Nintendo Wii featuring a rubber grip and “realistic trigger” looking like it can cause a lot of violent joy. Babelfish wouldn’t let me translate much of the Dutch product page but I guess more info and pictures will emerge soon enough. The price is estimated to $27.
