MAGIX is back again to help users do what they want, for a fraction of the competition’s price. This time, it’s with Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9 (PGD9), a program that claims to be “much faster than many competitor’s products and produces files that can be 10x or more smaller,“ as well as “The Best Photo Software For The Best Price.”

Diablo III, the third installment of Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo franchise has finally hit consoles. Its original PC and Mac OS X versions were released on 2012.05.15. The game set a new record for fastest-selling PC game, selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of its release. It was also the best selling PC game of 2012, selling more than 12 million copies during the year.

I’m sure at some point in our lives, we all want to make music. Unfortunately, not all of us are musically inclined, so that makes things tough. Thankfully, MAGIX has come to the rescue with its Music Maker series of software, letting you “Make Your Own Music.” I first came across MAGIX, late last year while returning to video editing. I needed better software than just Windows Movie Maker. An acquaintance on Twitter, Constantin Gabor @highballsport suggested I try Movie Edit Pro. I did and subsequently bought the software. Initially, I was skeptical because it was only $70. Normally media editing software that cheap isn't very good. BOY WAS I WRONG. I love it! If I knew beforehand I would've purchased Plus or even Premium.

13 characters, 2 buttons, 1 shot. This is all there is to 2D fighting game, Divekick at first glance. However, there is a bit more to it than just that. The Divekick Wikia states that "Divekick is a satirical fighting game based solely around a joke made by Editor-and-Chief ofShoryuken.comAdam "Keits" Heart, 'What if there was a game called Divekick, and the characters were Dive and Kick, and the buttons were Dive and Kick?'"  Divekick made its first official appearance at Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 8 (May 25 - 27, 2012) and since then, the fighting game community (FGC)’s support and love for the title has steadily increased. It soon got to the point where everyone wanted to play it, including world champions of other games.

Help with accessibility in games can come from the most unexpected places, such as peripherals not designed for accessibility. The Storm Chaser Gamepad is one such thing. It’s a PS2 controller made by peripheral manufacturer InterAct. On paper, it sounds like a perfect storm, but should InterAct have taken more precautions before chasing? Since the initial release of MadCatz’s Street Fighter IV FightPads, I’ve been saying that we need regular controllers with 6 buttons. Little did I know however that there was one. Coming across the Storm Chaser was a happy accident. A friend of mine, Tim, who runs a used game store called Game Craze found it in back and saved it for me.

Mass-produced accessible controllers are hardly commonplace. While this is unfortunate, it’s also the truth. Most times we have to rely on the modding community for accessible controllers. Luckily, the UK-based ConsolesandGadgets.com has released their "PS2 One Handed Controller." The PS2 One Handed Controller seems to be a reproduction of the now-discontinued DragonPlus RPG Duo Con 2. I say "seems," because I’ve never had the latter, only the former. I came across the PS2 One Handed Controller while researching accessible controllers, a couple years ago. While it did take me a year to purchase one, and it’s far from perfect; I can say that it’s one of the best buys I’ve made.

Wikipedia states that, "A gaming crossover occurs when otherwise separated fictional characters, stories, settings, universes, or media in a video game meet and interact with each other." This past decade has been host to more than a few crossover games. Arguably, the most notable is 2011’s Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Namco Bandai Games is taking another stab at it with Project X Zone for the Nintendo 3DS.

As I’ve said time and time again, I love Atlus and its Shin Megami Tensei franchise. So, when Atlus announced Shin Megami Tensei IV (SMT4) on 2012.05.31 in a two-page spread in Famitsu Magazine, I was very excited, but I was a little disappointed when I heard it was for the Nintendo 3DS, because I didn’t have one at the time, and the system really didn’t interest me. Later on though, I purchased one, because all my friends were playing Fire Emblem: Awakening and went on and on about how great it was. I digress though. Is Shin Megami Tensei IV a sequel and game worthy of being in the Shin Megami Tensei multiverse?

When the opportunity arises, exploration is necessary. If not by everyday people, then by those who step up to the challenge. whether or not it’s for fame and fortune is ultimately up to each individual. This simple idea is the driving factor in the Atlus's first-person dungeon-crawler for the Nintendo 3DS, Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan. However, is this worthy of being called “legendary,” or should it go in the history books as just a mention?

Mad Catz has released a new TRITTON headset for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, and that can be used for everyday audio. This is something I was hoping for since I tried my AX 180 a few months ago. The sound quality of TRITTON on the go. The question is, however, how is the new TRITTON PlayStation Kunai Stereo Headset? As I said in my previous review, gaming headsets have become the fastest growing 3rd party accessory for the 360. TRITTON has a rich history, creating gaming headsets for the 360 since its start. TRITTON also offers a complete line of headsets for the 360 and PS3, whereas other manufactures trying to enter this category only offer a limited range.
