LOGIC3
LOGIC3 supplies an enormous range of electronic gadgetry from iPod docks to gaming accessories. The firm is focusing on the 3DS handheld this spring, but also has products for PS3 Move and Wii owners.
The 3DS Starter Pack (RRP £9.99), available in blue, silver or pink, is a budget-priced bundle ideal for new buyers of the console. It includes a carry case and wrist strap, screen protectors, two metal stylus pens, USB charging cables, three game cases, earphones and a wrist strap.
Those who want better protection may be interested in the 3DS Armour Case (RRP £9.99) with its robust aluminium finish. It protects the console from impacts and scratches and easily clips onto the 3DS. Cut outs also provide access to the AC connector and headphones socket. Killzone 3fans will no doubt be drawn to the Machine Gun for PlayStation Move (RRP £14.99), which transforms the standard PS3 Move controllers into a full-on machine gun peripheral that would give Rambo a run for his money.
It’s compatible with all Move shooters such as Time Crisis Razing Storm, The Shootand SOCOM. Its lightweight design provides full access to all buttons on the Move controllers and Logic3 says it boasts realistic click-style trigger action. Additionally, the Programmable
Remote Control (RRP £19.99) lets PS3 players access the console’s DVD viewing options as well as control their TV, DVD player, Sky or VCR. Finally, the RemotePlus controller for Wii (RRP £24.99) features built- in MotionPlus sensors.

Its Dynamic Chat Boost feature automatically changes the in-game and player voice sound levels on- the-fly, while users can hear their
