GEARS OF WAR EPIC KONTROLFREEK NOW IN STOCK

New Product Announcement!! For all your Gears Of War junkies KontrolFreek has just announced the new Kontrol Freek FPS Freek [Epic] #2006 - PS3/360 (In stock usually ships within 24hrs). AVAILABILITY: ON-LINE AND IN-STORE
The FPS Freek EPIC was designed to give you the upper hand while fighting off the Locust Horde in the most anticipated third-person shooter of the year, Gears of War 3. The crimson emblem, created as a tribute to the GOW series by Epic Games, features an extremely tactile grip and a look that will instill fear in to even the most hardcore Xbox 360 gamer.

FPS Freek EPIC's concave thumb surface is designed for optimum comfort and grip. The extended length added by EPIC allows you to make smaller adjustments and “snap” to, track and hit targets faster and more accurately. This added precision will surely help you get the most out of old and new armaments like the “One Shot” Sniper Rifle and other power weapons. Our analog stick mods easily snap on to both standard PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers as well as the new Gears of War 3 special edition.

FPS Freek EPIC is perfect for medium to long-range shootouts and close quarters chainsaw battles. Turn your opposition to pulp in GOW with deadly accuracy and finish the battle on Sera in style!

Works great in both third-person and first-person shooters like:

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Modern Warfare 3
Battlefield 3
Halo: Reach
Gears of War

FPS Freek EPIC is designed to fit both the Xbox 360 controller and PS3 controller but will also fit many third-party versions.

Nintendo Confirms 3DS Analog Attachment Coming

Wow, looks like all those rumours floating around about Nintendo releasing a 3DS attachment to make it a twin-stick device we're true.

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed the first image of a peripheral that adds a second circle pad and set of shoulder buttons to 3DS.


A Nintendo UK rep has told EDGE "We can confirm that Nintendo does plan to release the attachment but that any further announcements on the attachment will be made at some later time by Nintendo."

Nintendo is holding a Nintendo 3DS product announcement conference in Japan on September 13. Will we also get confirmation of a 3DS redesign? Only time will tell, unless of course someone leaks out the information beforehand.

You can read more of the story at EDGE or IndustryGamers!
