Remember those old cartoons where you could see some elaborate traps built by some genius so that the mouse gets caught pretty fast? It's what the little being does that triggers a whole series of mechanisms which click one into another resulting in an overall movement - which led to the activation  of the capturing device. In the case of the video below you will see another crazy stunt: a Halo 3 player will perform a lot of "bungie" jumping in order to... get a suicidal finish. In this case it's not something that looks horrible, but rather very amusing:

The game trailer of the upcoming game GTA IV gives us an insight on what we should expect to see and experience while playing the game and also a few details about the story. While the overall "GTA concept" hasn't changed much, the new characters are meant to introduce the gamer to some mafia members as well.

Latest Game Trailer

A lot of shooter-games have been released lately and the players of such games always rely mostly on the accuracy of their mice in order to win the matches. There's a new trend as well, among gaming components, namely the gaming mice that got lately revolutionary improvements. They have become so fast, that they reach speeds up to 3200 and 4000 DPI - which results in higher speed and 200% more accuracy. One of them, who can reach the speed of 3200 DPI is Logitech G9 Laser Mouse.

As you can see in the image above, it looks more like an army or secret service vehicle than a real computer mouse. Besides the crazy specs (resolution: 200–3200 dpi - user-selectable, image processing: 6.4 megapixels/second, maximum acceleration: 20 G, maximum speed: 45–65 inches/second - depending on surface), it comes with a few customizing options that allow you to change the grips and also change the weight.

Another "traditional" and famous company for creating extremely good looking and high performance mice is Razer. Their latest addition is Razer Lachesis, a mouse that will change the odds in games like Hellgate London, but also Crysis or Gears Of War in online matches. Only by reading a few specs (4000dpi Razer Precision 3G Laser™ sensor, 32KB Razer Synapse™ onboard memory, nine independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons, 1000Hz Ultrapolling / 1ms response time, On-The-Fly Sensitivity™ adjustment) a hardcore gamer can tell that it is a must-have for serious players. In the image above you can see the blue-Lachesis version: the shape of the mouse is symetrical - lef-hand users and also right-hand users will enjoy it just as much.
