Rock Out On-The-Go With the Guitar Hero Controller for the DS/DS Lite

For all of you on-the-go gamers out there, you will be pleased to discover that you can perform your favorite Guitar Hero songs while you’re out on the road! Enjoy this comfortable and attractive wrap-around guitar controller for your Nintendo DS or DS Lite. Here’s a peek at how this desirable handheld peripheral would look on your DS Lite:

The ergonomic construction allows for maximum comfort when you’re jamming out to your tunes. It fits perfectly in your hands, which makes it a simple portable peripheral – no matter how big or small your hands are! It has four fret buttons as opposed to the five on the larger guitar shaped controllers for consoles, which make it feel as if you’re playing an actual guitar, ukulele, or banjo on your handheld device.

An adjustable hand strap is included, which secures the device and the DS/DSL snuggly to your hand or wrist – just in case you rock out hard enough to accidentally let go! The Guitar Hero Controller for the DS/DSL supports Guitar Hero On Tour and all other music games. However, this specific product does not come with any games or songs, as those are sold separately.

Rock on over and add the Guitar Hero Controller for the DS/DSL to your handheld gaming peripheral collection and strum your favorite beats while you’re on the go!

Perform Tricks with the Xbox 360 Bestilt Motion Sensing Sixaxis Modification Kit


Microsoft brought us a new revolution in high definition gaming with the Xbox 360. Since then, Sony released the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo released the Wii – two consoles that have one feature than Microsoft did not include – motion sensing technology. As of yet, Microsoft has yet to announce or release motion sensing possibilities with their controllers. Luckily, third party peripheral modification companies were on top of it! XCM was the first company to deliver the Xbox 360 Bestilt Motion Sensing Sixaxis Modification Kit.

Now, you can turn and perform a magnitude of tricks with your Xbox 360 wireless controller! The installation requires that you connect 5 wires to the included bottom controller plate to the actual controller itself. You can find installation intructions here. Once you’ve got it all set up, turn that bad boy on for a test drive!

At the flip of the main switch, you will power on the Bestilt Modification. Insert a game and experience the motion sensing magic first-hand! You won’t need a Sixaxis compatible game as this modification works by switching the left analog stick control with the motion sensing modification. Since all games are not the same, you can go back to your regular controls by flipping of the switch – it’s as simple as that!

This hot new item comes in two distinct colors: Black and White. Match it up with your current Xbox 360 wireless controller or use either color as an accent to your already colorful shell – whether it’s red, blue, clear, or chrome with a matching set of LED lights! As stressed in this article thus far, the Xbox 360 Bestilt Motion Sensing Sixaxis Modification Kit is only available for wireless Xbox 360 controllers – not wired controllers!

To take a swing at all of this action, add the Xbox 360 Bestilt Motion Sensing Sixaxis Modification Kit to your order for only £19.99!

The NTSC to PAL Converter is a must-have for gamers who are planning on traveling or moving!

The NTSC to PAL Converter comes with an AV composite cable, a 100v-240v UK power supply, and a travel plug. Make your move or your vacation easier by grabbing the MayFlash NTSC to PAL Converter! Set yourself up to game when you want to game – no matter where you are.

Full Replacement Case comes with a gold top and bottom casing with the battery cover, a GBA front cover, screw pads, and the following matching buttons: Start, Select, Left and Right Bumpers, the D-Pad, and the Action Buttons.

When ordering, you must also add the special Tri-Wing Screwdriver to your cart so you can install your Gold SHOCK! case right away.

Upgrade Your PS3 HDD Space with the PS3 HDXT

Keep your wallet nice and fat by investing in the PS3 HDXT – a highly sought after external hard drive caddy that will meet your video gaming requirements.

With this external caddy, you can purchase larger external hard drives. Imagine swapping out from your 80GB hard drive space to 400GB – or even 1TB! The PS3 HDXT will definitely help you get there!

The PS3 HDXT, short for the PlayStation 3 Hard Drive Xtender, is the very first PlayStation 3 modification created by Team Xecuter. The PS3 HDXT works by connecting the hard drive externally to the slot that the 2.5” SATA drive would normally be connected. Then hook up your matching faceplate so you can have a clean, matching design that blends into your entertainment center and doesn’t hurt the eyes! The PS3 HDXT also uses power from the PS3, so you won’t have to free up an outlet space just to have your hard drive running during game time.

If you plan on purchasing a 1TB hard drive for your PS3 HDXT, you will also need to add the HDXT SATA to IDE Converter for £12.99. This converter was also designed by Team Xecutioner to give you the flexibility of setting up everything you want without any restrictions.

So game to your heart’s content, without any restraint on what files you wish to download or transfer to your hard drive. That’s the way it’s supposed to be, isn’t it? Pick up your very own PS3 HDXT for only £14.95!

Increase Your Performance with the Talismoon Whisper Fan


Upgrade your Xbox 360 by hooking it up with a brand spankin’ new Talismoon Whisper Fan. This is a definite must-have for all Xbox 360 owners! Toss that old built-in fan away and treat yourself – and your console – with the Talismoon Whisper Fan to increase performance and durability.

When compared with the standard stock Xbox 360 fan, you will immediately notice the sleek design. The Talismoon Whisper Fan brings a seductive glow to your Xbox 360 and you can choose between three attractive colors: Green, Blue, and Red. This added design will attract the attention of everyone that sees your video gaming set-up and will definitely win you praise amongst your friends.

Technically speaking, the Talismoon Whisper Fan is also much better than the stock fan. While both of them consume the same amount of power, the electrical charge is lower in the Talismoon Whisper Fan by 90 mA. Because of this, the speed of the fan is slower by 500 RPM, causing it to emit a lower sound pressure level at 38 d(B)a. At this rate, this piece of hardware is 7% quieter, making start-up a breeze!

But just because the Talismoon Whisper Fan is slower, doesn’t mean it makes overheating worse. The stock fan included in the Xbox 360 moves air at 29 CFM, which is much to blame for overheating and freezing problems. On the other hand, the Talismoon Whisper Fan moves air at a speed of 46 CFM, making it 58% more efficient at moving hot air out of your Xbox 360 console!

In order for you to set up your Talismoon Whisper Fan, you are required to open up your console, remove the stock fan, and install the new fan. For the inexperienced console engineer, see this link for instructions on how to disassemble and install your fans.

Have you installed the Whisper Fans in your 360? Leave a comment and let us know!

Hassle-Free Gameplay with the Wii Sensor Bar Flexible Cobra Stand

Mounting the sensor bar can be tricky with the variety of television shapes, sizes, and placements out there – one of the most difficult being large projection screens.

The stand can be mounted on any desk, table, entertainment stand, and even comes with a suction cup so that mounting can be made firmly on any surface with ease!

The Wii Sensor Bar Cobra Stand is very easy to set-up and use! Just mount the stand near your television set, adjust the angle and height to your comfort level, and slide the sensor bar right in. It’s just as easy as that! Now you won’t have to worry about your motions not being detected or if your sensor bar is going to fall off your TV. At 2 meters long, its compact design allows the stand to be easily transported wherever you decide to take your game and it will definitely impress your friends!

XFPS Pro Sniper Plus VS Max Shooter 2


Gamers who’ve been seeking a keyboard and mouse adapter for their Xbox 360s should look no further! The Game Train offers two excellent keyboard and mouse adapters: The Max Shooter 2 and the XFPS Pro Sniper Plus. Each of these accessories offers the opportunity to play all of your games using a keyboard and mouse instead of the standard Xbox 360 controller, providing an optimum gaming experience in popular First Person Shooters such as Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3.

XCM released an upgrade of their original XFPS, which includes many enhanced features that gamers asked for. The XFPS Pro Sniper Plus is smoother, more precise, and now has two adjustment wheels which allow for 16 levels of adjustment for enhanced X and Y sensitivity. The adapter features a more durable shell for the gamers constantly on the move. Soon thereafter, Mayflash released the Max Shooter 2, which is very similar to the XFPS Pro Sniper Plus.


The XFPS Pro Sniper Plus and Max Shooter 2 are compatible with all Xbox 360 games, consoles, and newer wired controllers. To make things even cooler, they are both compatible with Playstation 2 Dual-Shock controllers and many other PS2 peripherals including race wheels, light guns, guitars, dance mats, and much more. This makes saving money very easy when you want to re-use some of your older peripherals instead of having to buy Xbox 360-compatible accessories only.


XFPS Pro Sniper Plus and Max Shooter 2 are compatible with 95% of keyboards and mice, including all standard PS/2 input devices. It’s easy to map your Xbox 360 buttons and analogue sticks to your keyboard and mouse too! Just follow these simple plug-and-play steps:

  1. Plug either adapter (XFPS Pro Sniper Plus or Max Shooter 2) into the Xbox 360.
  2. Attach a wired controller, mouse, and keyboard to the adapter.
  3. Turn on your Xbox 360.

That’s it! Now, you can use the default keyboard and mouse layout that the manufacturer pre-set, or you can map the controls yourself! Just hit the “Program” button, the button or analogue stick that needs to be mapped, then the corresponding keystroke or mouse click. Both accessories also feature a built-in auto-fire mode with 8 customizable turbo buttons, to make domination even easier.

You can snag the Max Shooter 2 for £44.95 or the XFPS Pro Sniper Plus for £62.99. If you’re looking for a wired controller, The Game Train has got you covered with the XFPS Pro Sniper Plus Bundle Pack for the amazing low price of £74.99!

Race With The Playseat Evo Grand Prix


Games are always fun when you play with cool accessories that were made specifically for your game of choice. Just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band have their own sets of instruments, racing games always had a steering wheel and a pedal. The problem with those was where to place the steering wheel. Computer desks gave the feeling that you were just sitting way too close to your monitor. And even though they were good ideas, TV dinner stands and end tables didn’t seem as cool as you hoped they would have been. That’s why we’re offering the Playseat Evo Grand Prix, and the special edition Playseat Evo A1 Grand Prix!

The Playseat Evo Grand Prix gives you that realistic feel you always dreamed of when racing in one of your many videogame cars. The racing seat is foldable and you can adjust the steel construction to fit perfectly with your height and comfort level. The Evo Grand Prix includes a mount to hold your steering wheel and foot pedals alongside a gear shift lever seat. And guess what? It’s compatible with Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC!


This product is composed of high quality materials that won’t damage easily and can withstand the hardest of drivers that can’t control their “road rage.” The Playseat Evo Grand Prix is so good, that they are an official sponsor of the Dutch A1 racing team. Some of the drivers use this seat to practice their driving techniques and have their own to sit on before and after races. Ford Rally team’s Henning Solberg stated, “It’s the best game accessory ever made, even I can use it for training and it really gives you a feeling of actually being in a car.” And as a sponsor, Playseat was granted a license from the A1GP World Cup of Motor Sports for the special edition Playseat Evo A1 Grand Prix until 2011! The seat features an A1 Grand Prix racing seat with an A1 logo in the headrest for motor sport fans!

Test drive the Playseat Evo Grand Prix with your favorite racing game – you’ll appreciate the high tech design, realistic feel, and long-lasting performance!

  • Broadcast – A CQB map set at the headquarters of a television station. A small, but fairly open parking lot connects the station with two other adjacent buildings that are infamous for attracting snipers.
  • Chinatown – Another CQB map under the moonlight of a busy downtown district. This map is lit up by glowing lanterns, neon signs, and the lights of the neighborhood’s many small rooms within the cluster of 2- and 3-story buildings.
  • Creek – A wide open map located at the edge of a small village attracts a handful of snipers. But don’t let the high ridges fool you – there are plenty of low ditches and dark caves for those gunners that specialize in sneaking onto enemy territory.
  • Killhouse – The smallest CQB map in the game set in a warehouse full of practice targets. For those that enjoy the Cage Match game type, there’s a tower located in the center of the warehouse that provides an amazing view of the whole area.

If you’ve been craving for a light-gun for your highly sophisticated entertainment setup, TheGameTrain has the solution for you! We are offering the LCD TopGun II – the latest improvement in light-gun technology for your high-definition entertainment systems!

Similar to its predecessor, the LCD TopGun I, the LCD TopGun II features a sleek Beretta 92F appearance for those who appreciate a more realistic look – instead of the usual brightly colored play toy design! Both accessories include a mounted laser pointer for accuracy, an auto-fire mode, and an auto-reload mode to give you an added sense of realism. Both the LCD TopGun I and LCD TopGun II connected to your PC or console via an 8.5 foot wire connection. For larger screen sizes, an extension cable may be required to play.

Although both the LCD TopGun I and the LCD TopGun II support the Xbox, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, and the PC (for over 100 MAME games), the new-and-improved LCD TopGun II is now compatible with Vista, and all the old features are maintained like compatibility with tons of flash games for the PC! The only console restriction is that they will only work with PS2 and PS3 games that are compatible with GunCon2. If you plan on playing with your PC, the LCD TopGun II will work with Windows Vista (32 bit), Windows XP (32 bit), Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows 98/98SE. The LCD TopGun I is compatible with the same operating systems except Windows Vista. The upgrade also makes it easier to calibrate, improves accuracy on all screen sizes, and it offers debug compatibility.

The LCD TopGun I and the LCD TopGun II can be used on any of the following televisions: CRT, DLP, LCD, Plasma, and Projector. The recommended screen size for the LCD TopGun II is anywhere between 14 to 120 inches. However, it is advised to purchase the LCD TopGun Blaze LED Stand for maximum performance and accuracy on larger projection screens from 60 inches up to 275 inches. For sizes 60 to 80 inches, players can use the LCD TopGun Blaze Stand outside of the screen. But, if the light-gun is to be used with projection screens over 100 inches, the sensor bars would need to be mounted inside the actual picture area for use.

Buy the LCD Topgun II for £34.95 or the LCD Topgun I for £29.95
