VENOM
SINCE forming 12 years ago Venom has developed some sleek and innovative video game accessories. Two such products are for
PlayStation 3 – the Pyramid Charger (RRP £19.99) for PS3 and the Quad Pyramid Charger (RRP £29.99) for the PlayStation Move. The former is USB-powered and can recharge two standard PlayStation DualShock 3 pads simultaneously in a unique triangular docking device.
The Quad charger is bundled with a mains power cable and can
recharge two pairs of PS3 Move navigation controllers. For stockiests of Move shooters
such as Killzone 3and The Shoot, Venom has developed a gun accessory that works with the motion controller. The VX Blaster is priced at just £9.99 and is designed to look like a handgun. It isn’t all about PlayStation 3, of course. Venom has a number of products for Xbox 360, too. Take the VX Comms 1 Elite Headset (RRP £14.99) for example. The device is aimed at online gamers
and includes a flexible metal microphone, adjustable head strap and soft padding for comfort during long gaming sessions. As for Nintendo Wii, Venom also supplies the Wii Play Pack (RRP £29.99) which includes a Venom V- Mote and V-Chuk – the company’s own equivalent to Nintendo’s official Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The V-Mote features a built-in
speaker and 1m cable that connects to the V-Chuk, allowing for plenty of room for swinging both controllers.
