Hey everyone,
I would just like to introduce myself as the newest intern here at Evil Controllers. I will be doing a series on Minecraft and being completely new at this very creative and unforgiving game.

Today I will begin to start the arduous journey of creating a new Minecraft world as THIRDSTAGE5150 with my companion katycat37.

During this journey I will NOT use the wiki. The reason why I am not using a wiki is because I am the type of person who likes to figure out how to play a game instead of someone else telling me how to do something.

I feel this gives a sense of accomplishment and increases my skills in critical thinking because I had to figure it out on my own. So think of me as a pre-historic block man.

This game has always made me curious but I have never given it a second thought. A couple of days ago I saw a friend of mine play it and then I just got this craving to build and destroy.

As a side note: I believe that

Next-Gen Kinect Rumors

Hey there guys! There are new job listings popping up that indicate that Microsoft might be really amping the development for their next-gen Kinect. For example this is a section from a job listing for a software development engineer, "the team that shipped Kinect for Xbox 360" is seeking a candidate to work on "the future of Natural User Input."

The same job listing later states, "The Xbox Platform Team is gearing up towards the next generation of Natural User Interface (NUI) technologies." The job description also mentioned "rapid prototyping" and as a requirement "successful candidate must be able to come up to speed with new technologies".

Limited Edition Sleeping Dogs Bundle

Sleeping Dogs is set to launch on the 14^th of August in the US and on the 17^th of August in the UK. In our previous article we got to see some of the pre-order bonuses that were available to the gamers in US and today we shall be looking at what our UK gamer brethren shall be receiving.

It seems the UK gamers are getting a bit of an better treatment since anyone who is going to pre-order the game in UK is going to instantly be getting the Limited Edition of the game at no extra charge. The Limited Edition is priced at £36.99 at Amazon UK, the exact same price as the normal

Assassin's Creed 3 DLC

Downloadable content has become a huge thing over the past few years and now pretty much every game is expected to have some form of DLC within a few months of its release. Many games actually have DLC available on the day of the games' release! Like most gamers, I am not too happy with this considering the fact that the devs could have just added that content to the game itself.

Well there is no way of avoiding it now as DLC is just as lucrative as the actual game (if not more) these days and why wouldn't publisher want to take advantage of their game's release. This time around Ubisoft knows that we are dying to get

Warfighter to Compete with Black Ops 2

It seems every year now we gamers get to witness a clash between FPS superstars. Last year it was Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3 and this year it is Black Ops 2 vs Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Both these games are direct sequels to their respective predecessors and both of them show great promise.

Since 2003 Call of Duty has been the reigning champ with little or no competition. Even though there are a lot of gamers annoyed by the COD franchise now because of the similar gameplay and old engine, they still continue to break sales records every year. It's no wonder the

Another Edition of Assasin's Creed 3

There are A LOT of editions coming out for Assassin's Creed 3 as Ubisoft prepares to rake in the cash. We had already gone through all the Tier 1 Collector's Editions, Special Edition and PS3 bundles but it seems there was one more that we overlooked. Can't blame us considering the amount of versions Ubisoft has been crunching out.

The Ubiworkshop Edition of Assassin's Creed 3 is ONLY available for pre-order and is supposed to give owners a better understanding of the franchise. The Ubiworkshop Edition was initially priced at $109.99 with a discounted price of $99.99 for those who ordered before

Sleeping Dogs Reception

As you may already know, Sleeping Dogs is an open world cop drama inspired by classic Hollywood and Asian cinema action style thrillers is set to launch August 14^th. Based on recent events, Activision (the original publisher) who lost faith in the game and sold the rights to the game to Square Enix might be REALLY regretting their decision.

Given the fact that the game is very much like GTA and has traits very much like other games it was no surprise when Activision had written it off as a failure in the beginning. But United Front Games have really pulled through and have created a really solid and fun experience that seems

Halo 4 - Teabagging Returns

Well its official, in an interview with Kotaku, 343 Industries have confirmed that players once again will be able to crouch in Halo 4 with the same classic animation and posture. This in turn means that players can once again perform their favorite humiliation maneuver over fallen enemies, teabagging.

This move has been a notorious part of the Halo multiplayer universe where numerous players have been irritated to the point of gamer rage. Although this time around 343 Industries are calling it "victory crouching."

When asked why they brought crouching back again they had this to say "[Yes players can victory-crouch others] if they choose

Halo 4 Forge Mode Info

Hey there Halo fans! I am pleased to tell you (if you already didn't know) that Forge World is going to be making a comeback in Halo 4. Better still is the fact that Forge is bigger and better than ever before with lots of improvements that are really going to make a difference.

To start off, this time around this multiplayer map editor is being developed by Certain Affinity. Since these guys were the developers behind Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary and the Halo Reach Map Pack, it is safe to say that they really know their stuff when it comes to Halo.

What I personally liked about their approach when developing this was that they really paid

Halo 4 Controller

Hey there guys. I guess you guys already read the previous article about the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console Bundle. Since then it has been pulled down from the Microsoft Store so we haven't been able to get a better look at it. But, today I bring to you the close up image of the new Halo 4 UNSC Controller:

Looks cool right? As you can see, the blue led that is supposed to be integrated instead of the green can be seen from this picture. The d-pad is also supposed to be the twist d-pad. Also notice how the controller is translucent.
