After a long wait, I finally got my hands on the Sennheiser PC 350. Needless to say, it was well worth it.

I have found that I am playing more and more games online lately, yet using my headset less. I attribute this to the fact that I don't enjoy people screaming mindless garbage into my ear instead of using their microphones for teamwork. Then came the Sennheiser PC 350 gaming headset, demanding that I rethink that position and believe me, I did more than just that.

Halfbrick Studios have just announced Rocket Racing, a PS3 and PSP Mini that sets players atop raceways up high in the sky. The game has three main modes: Challenge Mode, Grand Prix, and Party Mode. Challenge Mode offers a variety of racing and skill based challenges that the player must complete, while Grand Prix pits players agains multiple AI-controlled opponents, and Party Mode allows players to switch off and pass around the controller attempting to break each others high score, fastest time, etc.

Rocket Racing will be released for the Playstation 3 and PSP minis via Playstation Network for $4.99 later this month.

When Performance Designed Products first told me that they were going to send me Energizer Power and Play Controller Chargers for 360 and PS3, I was highly skeptical. My reason for being so was that all I could picture when I heard "controller chargers" was those Wii remote chargers by Nyko. While those are ugly and poorly designed, these products are the exact opposite.

LittleBigPlanet for the PSP is a excellent port of an already great game. The overall feel of the game translates well to the PSP and feels like a completely new, yet ultimately familiar, experience.

The backbone to any platforming game is -- well, the platforming -- and LittleBigPlanet does that quite well. At first glance, it would seem like some liberties were taken so that the game could be ported to the PSP without the loss of the LittleBigPlanet feel. I started to realize that those liberties needed to be taken in order to make the game enjoyable. The way that the characters move around feels just as it did in the PS3 version and, in some cases, almost better.

DiRT 2 is a different kind of racing experience. It's just plain fun. I loved the original DiRT when I played it on my Xbox 360, and this just adds to my DiRT love.

DiRT 2 singleplayer is divided up into three main modes: World Tour, Arcade Mode, and Challenge Mode. In DiRT 2, the World Tour mode challenges players to take part in four different tours, each filled with many races in varying locals. While I found this to be fun, it seems as if it progressed much too quickly and is easily finishable in a small amount of time. The Arcade Mode gives players three main options: Single Race, Championship, and Time Trial. All of these modes pit the player against other CPU racers at any of the 9 countries that races take place in.

DaVinci's Secrets is billed as a physics-based puzzle game centered around the inventions of Leonardo DaVinci, and while that is an accurate statement, there are some major problems that get in the way of the otherwise interesting concept.
