Can't even play the game, March 6, 2013

I'd love to be able to describe detailed pros and cons for this game, but I can't. This game, for some insane reason, can only be played online. Online only, for what has always been a single player game. That would be bad enough, but I was able to get past that. However, EA can't even manage to get their servers to run, or to make a game that can actually log into them, or to have enough servers for what should have been an expected large load on day 1.

Nice gaming board., April 9, 2009

I'm a big fan of Ideazon products. I previously owned their Zboard, but had some problems with it. The Merc Stealth, though, that solves all the problems I had and then some.

On the positive side of things, the keyboard is responsive, with solid keys and good action. A complete, full-sized QWERTY board sits next to a pad of game specific keys, allowing easy transition from gaming to typing without any problems. The back lighting is clear, with three colors to choose from, all at three levels of brightness (or off, if you'd rather). Unlike some earlier boards of this type, the lettering on the keys themselves is translucent, so the light actually shines through. This makes… Read more
