At Ten Ton Hammer, we pride ourselves in keeping gamers at heart. Since
we play the same games as our readers, we're always on the lookout for
the best new games, toys, and products for our readers. With the
holidays right around the corner, it's even more important to make sure
we know what kind of products are the best for our massively
multiplayer online games. Since this is a dilemma that strikes every
holiday season, the staff at Ten Ton Hammer has opened our doors and
we're welcoming any gaming products – software and hardware
alike – to plead their case to you, the MMO gaming public.
Our first interview is with Creative Labs, who goes into great detail
about several of their gamer oriented products.
“First, we would like to make it clear that the people who
contribute to product creation and test our products are hardcore
gamers,” Nicholas explained. “They game as part of
their work (I know, some of you are preparing resumes already). They
play all sorts of games, FPS, RTS, MMOs, etc. These people give the
product teams valuable inputs on what gamers really need from a
product, and then we go about making them. The next step is naturally,
to find the best balance between a superior audio experience (through
hardware) and the prices that appeal to gamers. Not every gamer can
afford a high-end 10,000 USD audio system for example.”
