By Jason Moddley


Summer is a great time to log a lot of gaming hours, and to get a leg up on your competition. It is all about putting in the time to get better and as a result your gaming abilities will be unmatched. There are also outstanding modifications for your console and controllers that work to set you apart from fellow gamers by providing distinct advantages. A variety of companies produce products that heighten the function and appeal of your gaming accessories.

The basic purpose of a controller and console mod is visual updates that add a personal flair to your gaming gear. Companies such as Calibur11 offer console housing units that improve the look of your console without voiding the warranty. They come in a number of colors and patterns that allow you to add a individual touch to your Xbox 360. For controllers, XCM products allow you to make a custom color scheme that best represents your style, and accordingly is a outstanding add-on to show off to friends. XCM products enable you to exchange the thumbsticks, d-pad, bumpers, triggers, and A B X Y buttons for the colors of your choice. These visual modifications are perfect updates for your gaming gear, and a major improvement to your gaming arsenal.

Another type of gaming mods are physical changes to the controller such as the Evil d-pad. The conventional Xbox controller d-pad allows for user error on a regular basis, seeing that four distinct button functions are designated to a single d-pad unit. The Evil d-pad makes each direction command its own individual button, and it improves the accuracy of your d-pad. There are youtube videos that show you how to install the new d-pad system, which makes it an easy way to customize your controller and acquire an advantage over your competition.

Controller mods can be more than just physical changes to the controller's layout, and these are the most advantageous form of modifications. Rapid fire and fast reload mods are among the most popular and their advantages are irrefutable. Rapid fire allows the gamer to use semi-automatic weapons as fully automatic in first-person shooter titles such as Call of Duty and Halo. The fast reload mod also has an unmatched advantage in that it commonly features rapid fire, but also allows the gamer to reload their weapons without the game's animated reloading sequence. There are also youtube videos that demonstrates the function of these mods, and show you how to best use them in your favorite games. This makes adapting to playing with mods an easier activity, and you can enjoy their benefits quicker.

So, if you are looking for modifications for your gaming arsenal there are a variety of products acquirable that will do just that. Happy summer, and keep on gaming mods or not!
