FPS controller, by HJC Design, for Xbox 360 and PC is the most customisable, high performance gaming controller concept ever designed. Offering professional and enthusiast gamers the competitive edge in first-person shooters, racing, sports, and action-adventure games.


   
New FPS Controller Concept by HJC Design

In any game, the fastest reflexes and quickest responses are the keys to success. The FPS controller has been optimized to accelerate natural reflexes and eradicate the micro-second delays when the thumb or finger has to switch between buttons, which can be the difference between winning or losing.

Rear paddles act as programmable multi-function two-way rocker switches allowing greater control. The layout, responsiveness, sensitivity and feed back of all the controls (analogue sticks, buttons, and triggers) is customisable allowing you to tweak the controller to your individual preferences.

Every button is multi-functional, utilising all the digits without the micro-interruptions of button smashing. Any button layout, including trigger position, can be mapped on-the-fly or via PC. That doesn't just mean faster aiming, but every button combination can be pressed simultaneously as well - meaning you can go prone, aim, and shoot, all at the same time. The button map lighting can be customised to match your clan colours or your existing gaming set up.

The most important controls in competitive gaming are both analogue sticks, especially with shooters where they are used equally. Both sticks are in the optimum ergonomic location, which boosts endurance in prolonged gaming sessions. The physical resistance in both analogue sticks can be adjusted to achieve to the users preference.

The FPS controller, by HJC Design, has a unique Sniper-Mode allowing the aiming sensitivity to be adjusted in-game. This is manipulated by squeezing the side panels without releasing the analogue sticks, guaranteeing greater accuracy.

The controller features adjustable side panels to accommodate for a wide range of users, leaving your wrists in the most natural position. Ventilation holes appear at the most regular contact points to improve grip and reduce perspiration.

Eight customisable configurations (button layout, resistivity, sensitivity, and colour settings) can be stored, meaning your optimum button setup can remain constant across all your favourite games. All controls are easily accessible without accidently activating another.

The FPS controller by HJC Design features 3D rumble effect, with varying strength and direction for a more immersive experience.

Zero latency 2.4GHz wireless technology (1ms response), with built in rechargeable batteries for casual play. The controller also features a detachable braided cable to stop wireless interference that jeopardise performance at the most crucial times, especially at tournaments or LAN matches.

Short-throw buttons actuate faster responding with crisp tactile feedback, designed to minimized debounce time to boost responsiveness.

All contact points feature non-slip rubber, made specifically for the elite, creating a strong and more robust feel.

Payback's a bitch, especially when dealing with The Joker's most psychotic sidekick, Harley Quinn. Harley is the new boss of Arkham City and is determined to make Batman pay for what he's done to The Joker.


    
Batman: Arkham City Harley Quinns Revenge Pack

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment bring to you today a new trailer and screenshots from Harley Quinn’s Revenge Pack, the final chapter of Batman: Arkham City saga that adds more than two hours of fresh single-player gameplay to the critically-acclaimed title from Rocksteady Studios.  The Harley Quinn’s Revenge mission sends players back into Arkham City to face their final challenge as they interchange between playing as both Batman and Robin. 
  
Fans who already own the original edition of Batman: Arkham City will be able to download Harley Quinn’s Revenge Pack beginning May 30 on PlayStation®Network 7.99 and the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360 (800 Microsoft Points).  Newcomers to last year’s Dark Knight adventure will be able to pick up Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition on September 7th in the UK, which includes all previous downloadable content (Catwoman Pack, Nightwing Bundle Pack, Robin Bundle Pack, Challenge Map Pack and Arkham City Skins Pack) plus Harley Quinn’s Revenge Pack.  

Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players flying through the expansive Arkham City – five times larger than the game world in Batman: Arkham Asylum – the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.  Featuring an incredible Rogues Gallery of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals including Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze and many others, the game allows players to genuinely experience what it feels like to be The Dark Knight delivering justice on the streets of Gotham City.

Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition is based on DC Comics’ core Batman license and “BBFC 15”. Fans can visit www.batmanarkhamcity.com for more information about the game.
