Turtle Beach designed its Ear Force XP Seven Headset for the pro circuit, but anyone would enjoy donning these versatile headphones.

CES 2013 PDP added headphones to their line-up. And gamers will be the ones who will find them the most appealing, but they can be used by all.

CES 2013 We've seen virtual reality headsets like this before, but this one's different: it really works.
UPDATED Gameloft's titles are fun, but the virtual on-screen controls aren't for everyone. Some of us prefer real controllers.

The Astro A50 is ready to play with every device in your home theater. Does its bass boom big enough for its $300 price?
Exclusively for the Xbox 360, lose the mic cables and Bluetooth dongles for a 5.8GHz wireless chat headset from Mad Catz and Tritton. It's premium level stereo power at a premium level price point.

Sporting some of the best bass we've heard in a gaming headset, incredible audio quality, and 7.1-channel surround, Razer's Tiamat 7.1 is a great audio addition to your PC gaming setup.

Fancy some Ambi-light style lights for your gaming nights? No, neither do we

The TwistDock is, put simply, a stand and controller charging port for your PlayStation 3. It's circular and twists around so you can reach the controllers, which sit hidden behind your PS3. It's designed to look good, feel premium, and keep things tidy.

It's surprising to think that the Wii has been on sale for nearly four years, and we're only now seeing true competition from Nintendo's rivals. Of course, considering the half-hearted motion controls of the Sixaxis, it's probably wise for Sony to have been cooking PlayStation Move slowly since its introduction 15 months ago.

How badly do you want a six-speed gearstick?

Sky's live TV and VoD service is among the slickest yet

From the cheesy ads and the mocking YouTube parodies, you could easily be forgiven for thinking that Nintendo's Wii Fit and Balance Board would be overly-worthy, not very entertaining, or just plain silly. But, of course, it's made by Nintendo, a company which is fast becoming a master of turning mundane of tasks into fun activities (accompanied by vast amounts of profit)

This is, as far as we're concerned, an enchanted black box that takes a single VGA cable, performs witchcraft upon it, and allows you to increase and divide the output to a frankly ridiculous 3,840x1,024 across three 1,280x1,024 monitors

What, exactly, is immersion? And do we really want it? If you're playing Theme Park, for example, would the smell of cheap frankfurters and the feel of water splashed in your face create a more compelling experience, or does it misunderstand completely what gaming is about?

This was the first 'proper' HD DVD player to go on sale in the UK late last year, and Microsoft's £130 deck is still the entry point into hi-def movies for many gamers.

If you already thought Samsung and Panasonic's Blu-ray decks were expensive, that opinion can only be reinforced by the arrival of an HD DVD player costing just £130.Of course, this stunningly low figure comes with a catch.

This was the first 'proper' HD DVD player to go on sale in the UK, and Microsoft's £130 deck is still the entry point into hi-def for many gamers.You will need to own an Xbox360, but the combined cost of a 360 premium pack and this drive is a piffling £410
I've been a steadfast denier of the virtues of wireless peripherals for, ooh, ages. However, it's got to the point where, at home, my gaming chair has speakers taped to the backrest and I have no less than eight wires

Microsoft has bowled Blu-ray a real googly with its 'pocket- money' HD DVD drive. It's given Toshiba's high-def format a shot in the arm just when it was needed.

High definition might well be the best thing since sliced bread, but it's also expensive. Sky HD costs £300 for the receiver, while the first high-definition disc Blu-ray players from Samsung and Panasonic both cost a small fortune
