X-Arcade Tankstick Gets High Review

26. August 2008

Lex Eskobar from High Times gave a short review of the newly released Soul Calibur 4 for the PS3 stating that “If you love fighting games and love smoking weed while playing them then you can’t go wrong with this one.” It received a score of “4 out of 5 pot leaves.” Then the gaming veteren, Mr.Eskobar, was able to take a look at our X-Arcade Tankstick. Here is a little bit of what he had to say:

“X-Arcade’s slogan is “Built like a friggin’ tank!” and they aren’t lying. I put a beating on this controller and it still did the job. I can’t stress enough how nice it is to play older games using this controller. When you put the controller up on a table or somewhere sturdy and have a buddy come over for some good ol’ fashion gaming you really do get a sense of nostalgia for the old days of quarter eating combat.”

The Tankstick gets Lex’s thumb of approval and was rated “5 out of 5 pot leaves.”
