Yep, I have finally found the time to do an “amBX with BiA” movie and review page for your reading and viewing pleasure. The movie has been uploaded to YouTube on the ILoveamBX channel; here and the review can be navigated to on the menu to your right.

The video shows footage from the intro sequence, actual gameplay and also from the cinematic sections you get throughout the game to lead you into new missions and once you have completed them.

If you are too lazy to use the nav menu on the right here is an easy link for you: HERE.

Yes, today is another good day for all you amBX fans as Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway was released and ILoveamBX has it’s shiney new copy ready to play, just a shame I havent got time right this minute. Rest assured though over the coming weekend I will be getting down and dirty with my squadmates and unleashing a certain fury towards gerry (no offence intended).

Further that I will also be working on creating another video showing the game in action with all the amBX effects and do a review as to my thoughts about the type of interactions and intensity of them. Stay tuned for that over the next week or so! For now though, off into the land of work which is going to be painful as BiA beckons with its silent promise of pure pleasure and destruction.

This came as a bit of a shock this morning when I got notification that the boys over at amBX have teamed up with Dutch Graphics Card manufacturer “Point of View” and Ubisoft to deliver what is possibly the bundle to end all bundles. With those three companies involved I am sure you can pretty much guess what it contains; an amBX ProGamer kit (the one with the speakers, lights, subwoofer and wall washer I think), an nVidia 9 series GeForce gfx card and a copy of Brother in Arms!

So…in short, if you were looking at buy a new gfc card, an amBX kit or BiA this could be your ultimate saviour. Although there are no details about who is going to be stocking this yet or what price point it will be at it definitely deserves a mention for the pure joy that can be obtained from this one bundle. Hours of gaming heaven playing BiA with the total immersion of amBX and the supreme prettiness of a new gfx card. About time is all I can say.

Hexus have done a brief write-up about it here: Hexus.net whilst Guru3D have also done one here. Go have a quick read if you are more intrigued and feel free to share your thoughts and comments!

Well hello there! Welcome to this, my brand new blog dedicated to my awesome new piece of kit; a Philips amBX Premium Kit. For those that don’t know what im rattling on about it is a peripheral kit for your PC that includes speakers, ambient lights, fans and a rumble pad. This means that for games and music you experience new effects and increase the level of immersion. To sum it up really think of a shooting game with the rumble pad going off if something explodes near by, or a racing game with the fans turning off if you drive really quickly and “get air” off of a jump. Combine that with changing light effects depending on the environment like nice red, orange and yellow lights for a sunset or bright green for a field all the way down to dark and muddy browns and red for underground dungeons.

That pretty much sums it up in terms of what it is but this blog will hopefully guide you around my world, the things i’m doing with my kit and what some of the latest developments are coming out of amBX HQ i.e. Farcry2 and Brother in Arms!! Those games should kick ass with an amBX hooked up to them, I really can’t wait.

Anyway enough rambling for now…lets get down to business and make some content that will give you something to read and watch. Adios for now!
