The Incredible Hulk may not be the darkest comic-to-big screen adaptation yet, but it may be the best mixture. It's a true psychodrama that touches on the depth of the human psyche but still delivers great comic book type action. It's everything that the 2003 version wasn't but should have been. It

I was looking forward to reading this third book that was supposed to end the trilogy. Figured it isn't, but I am still disappointed that the story line was very slow paced and even boring at times. I don't really need Roran's stories every other chapter, and the story's getting real predictable. Bo

I love this camera. Opened up, charged battery, put in 4gb SD card, and away I went. I've shot many pictures and videos with it. Videos are so easy and great. My daughter loves viewing them on the camera after taking them. Shots are great. The digital zoom is great as well. Fits in top pocket, take

Thought it had potential
10/3/2008
I recently purchased the Nyko Zero PS3 controller. I made it a point to not listen to some of the negative reviews spread across the internet about this controller. Basically, I wanted a PS3 controller that felt more like an Xbox 360 controller. I saw that this controller had concave joysticks, which is really nice, however... The joysticks' springs are very tight. They snap back up with pretty decent force, making it difficult to make small movements with your thumbs to nail a headshot or something of that nature. Also, the joysticks have a "dead zone" where they don't react on screen until they are at a far enough angle. It's a pretty sizable angle too. I was moving back and forth between my Dual Shock 3 and the Nyko Zero, and the Dual Shock joysticks react to the tiniest little movements of your thumb. The Nyko Zero doesn't react until you leave the "dead zone", then it reacts way too much throwing me off from where I wanted to aim.
The shape of the controller is nice as is the medal plate to keep your hands cool. The trigger are too far apart, however. To make matters worse, my controller came with a faulty D-pad. It was very loose as if it had been used many many times before.
All in all, I was really excited when I saw this controller online, but now I'm not so excited. At least it was cheap. Keep all these negative aspects in mind before you purchase this controller.

A cheap substitute, no more, no less
10/2/2008
I got this controller because I needed a second one. The original sony ps3 costs a lot than more thus this controller becomes more attractive.

Pros: Cheap alternative(paid 15USD), feels sturdy(top metal frame), offers alternative power source (using AA batteries), long USB cable (helpful when you need to charge and play at the same time)

Cons: Does not feel ergonomic, the edges feel uncomfortable on the palms, If you have smaller hands, the L1/R1 with respect to L2/R2 felt like it is spaced a lot farther than compared to the sony's controller.

Overall, if you need a cheap second controller, I would recommend this. But for use in a longer gameplay, you probably want the sony contoller.

guess its really good for big hands, its what people say
9/28/2008
i have small hands and yes i ignored most of the reviews cuz im one of those people who just likes to try it first then comment later. sure its good if you think or believe its good, but if you get sweaty palms like me, this controller meant for big hands will try to slip off from your hands. i dont know to you but thats just me.

this one comes with 2 charger, either a wireless one when u can charge it with your ps3, or the one that u can put batteries on it. well thats a good thing, when the battery is about to die, you'll really notice it. you'll know why ;P i mostly use this playing my okami and the shoulder buttons just wouldnt cooperate right.

Adds rumble, lacks Bluetooth
9/22/2008
I had this item for about one week. It was meant to be a cheap substitute for the DualShock3's rumble capabilities - we already have 2 Sixaxis and I didn't feel like spending another $40 for 'rumble'. These are my impressions so far, and they are not likely to change because we're not likely to use it a lot in the future.

THE GOOD:
- It sells for about half the price of a DualShock3.
- It is a bit larger than the Sixaxis. I like this because I am a grownup and my hands are relatively large.
- It rumbles and it vibrates. I can't compare the vibrations with the DualShock because I haven't tried one yet but it's quite decent.

THE BAD:
- It comes with a USB dongle - it is NOT a Bluetooth device. If you have a 2-USB ports PS3, you are going to use one of them for the Zero dongle and there will be only one port left for everything else. If you have two of these, then you just maxed out on USB ports and you will have to think about getting yourself a USB hub - effective but not pretty.
- Personally, I am not comfortable with the Xbox-like shape. Maybe it's just me. The kids don't seem to mind but, after using this for a couple of games, the rumble-less Sixaxis is now back as their number one choice of a controller.

MY RATING:
The makers of this product should have made it VERY CLEAR that this device is NOT Bluetooth-enabled. The dongle technology is probably responsible for the controller's lower price but it can cause major headaches and significant inconvenience to many PS3 owners. I am taking out 2 stars for the dongle inconvenience. I am taking another star because the lack of Bluetooth capabilities is not clearly advertised. I am adding back one star for the low price. The larger size (a plus) is counterbalanced by the odd shape (a minus). After doing the math, it turns out that the Zero gets 3 stars.

Nice concept, execution failure.
9/1/2008
I bought this controller when the price went down thanks to Deal of the Day. What a mistake that was. But it wasn't all bad. Let's start off with some good points of this controller. The feel of the controller is very much like the XBox 360 controller, with the triggers being triggers, concave analog sticks, and a junk D-pad (not really a pro, but I found it to be a bit better than the stock 360 pad but still inferior to the stock PS3 pad). It's definitely larger than the 360 controller as well. Other pros include a bundled rechargeable battery with an optional AA pack and a 10ft. USB cord for recharging, easily the equivalent of the 360 Play and Charge kits. The face of the controller has metal plating, keeping the controller cool while giving it a higher quality look. But that's only the look.

It's the downsides of the controller that really take this concept down. First, I found that the analog sticks aren't nearly as sensitive as the Sixaxis/DualShock 3. The left stick is serviceable, but trying to use the right stick in FPS style games became a headache. The "dead zone" for these sticks is very large, whereas the stock PS3 pad has almost none. I had to press the stick further in order to move the aim, and I found that it was near impossible to make small, precise movements for shooting enemies that were only a little bit off center. In other words: forget headshots. The USB dongle is large and the orange color certainly does not match the PS3's blue and green when turned on. Also, being a USB device, it's impossible for the Zero to turn the PS3 on remotely like the Sixaxis. My biggest complaint? The Zero became twitchy after three days of use, and wouldn't stop rapidly registering L1/L2 button presses. Repeated attempts to solve the problem, such as reconnecting it, removing the USB dongle, removing the battery, and even taking the controller apart and re-fitting the connections could not solve it. Because of this problem, the controller is pretty much useless now. Sigh.

I highly suggest you avoid this product.
