Nyko Offers Up New Xbox 360 Accessories

By Digital Trends Staff March 28, 2006

Nyko Technologies yesterday unveiled new Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories which are available now. The Intercooler 360 and Intelligent Remote 360 are both priced at $19.99.

The Intercooler 360, said Nyko, is a snap-on cooling device which attaches to the back of the Xbox 360 console in either horizontal or vertical positions. It uses three fans to â€œdramatically increase air flowâ€ out of Microsoft’s next generation gaming console, helping to keep it cool. It is powered by the console itself and can either automatically power on and off as the Xbox 360 does or be turned on and off manually.

The Intelligent Remote 360 meanwhile is a remote control with backlit buttons which allows gamers the ability to control the gaming console and television with the same device. It is designed to compliment the Xbox 360’s design, draws power from AAA batteries and can learn commands from other remote controls.

“Microsoft has created a gaming system to become the entertainment centerpiece for the living room,” said Susan Corben Cox, vice president of marketing, Nyko Technologies, in a statement. “Nyko is bringing gamers accessories that will enhance their gaming experience and protect their valuable Xbox 360.”

We finally got another look at the Destiny 2: The Final Shape expansion today via a new gameplay preview from Bungie. We learned more about the new Prismatic subclasses and other features coming to the expansion.

With the Prismatic subclass, players will be able to wield Light and Darkness powers. Each has a meter that fills up as players use that kind of attack. When both are filled, players enter a state called Transcendence, where players get a grenade ability unique to each class alongside other buffs.

Hyper Light Breaker publisher has new name after Gearbox shake-up

A fight in Hyper Light Breaker.

Following Embracer Group's sale of Gearbox Entertainment, Gearbox Publishing has rebranded to Arc Games. The newly minted label will handle publishing for Hyper Light Breaker when it launches, as well as other Gearbox projects.

The situation may be confusing to those who don't follow game industry acquisitions. The short version is that Gearbox (the developer) now exists under Take-Two Interactive, while Gearbox (the publisher) is now taking the form of Arc Games.

You need to play this underrated zombie shooter before it leaves Xbox Game Pass

A massive Ridden in Back 4 Blood.

All of us have gaming opinions that go against the grain or zeitgeist around certain titles. Oftentimes, it’s because your personal opinion on a title is negative -- I was like that with Sonic Frontiers -- but it can go in a more positive direction. For me, a game I’m a very positive outlier on is Back 4 Blood, a Left 4 Dead successor developed by Turtle Rock Studios and published by WB Games.

Although Back 4 Blood got decent reviews from critics, the public's general response toward the title is more mixed on platforms like Steam. Fewer people are playing it than Left 4 Dead 2 on PC at this point. I've always loved this game, as I enjoy the variance and replay value it introduces, as also think the different playable characters and level design make this one of the most enjoyable co-op shooters of the past several years.
