If you own an iPad, then you already own of the best gaming devices of these modern times. But in case you miss the good old days, you’re going to want to check out Atari’s Greatest Hits on the App Store, a collection of up to 100 classic Atari games ported to work with the iPad’s modern touchscreen interface. Awesome game pack if you miss the good old days of gaming, but it’s just not the same without the analog controls. Now, if you already have the app and you kind of miss the way you used to play the Atari classics, well then here’s your solution: the Atari Arcade Powered by Duo.
Just in case you weren’t familiar with the original Orochi notebook gaming mouse that Razer put out a couple of years ago, it’s basically a mouse with gaming/performance bits and Bluetooth/ USB connectivity built into a compact mouse meant for portable/laptop gaming.

The Razer Switchblade concept device might not have been more than a blip on your radar when it was first pimped out at CES because, well, it was just a “concept” device at the time. It was certainly interesting though: the Switchblade is basically a Windows 7-based notebook with a 6.8-inch screen running on an Atom processor. Unlike your regular Atom-powered netbook, this thing’s specifically designed for gaming-on-the-go with a backlit dynamic keyboard that can be customized to show buttons for games. It should cause a bigger blip pretty soon though, since it’s actually set to start selling in China.
Gamers today have a lot of brand choices to pick from when they’re shopping for a quality gaming mouse, keyboard or controller, but it looks like the options just became shorter. VR-Zone just reported that Microsoft has decided to discontinue their SideWinder gaming line. This won’t be the first time they’ve decided to drop it, but this could be the last. Microsoft first dropped the gaming brand back in 2003, then re-launched again in 2007 with a few – but awesome, nonetheless – products like the X6 keyboard and X8 mouse.
