It’s official! One of the most anticipated games of the year, BioShock Infinite’s U.S. release date is set for October 16th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC (Oct. 19th Internationally).
This is both good and bad news for people like me who’ve wanted this game since the original teaser back in 2010.
The good news is that we finally have a date to look forward to.
The bad news is that seven months is a hell of a long time to wait.
In the meantime, enjoy this rather pleasant trailer from December’s VGA's featuring the lyrical stylings of Courtnee Draper.

It’s true. After a week of insane holiday deals from us, our entire stock of FPS Freek CQC has been decimated like the surface of Reach after the Covenant invasion. Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, apparently every serious gamer on the planet decided that they were going to treat themselves to a set. We don’t blame you and we’re not complaining, but this means that some of you procrastinators won’t be able to experience how great CQC’s are.
We do, however, still have a small amount of holiday bundles left that feature FPS Freek CQC as part of the package deal and at discounted prices. Our Perfect Arsenal and GamerPack Recon both feature the CQC and are available for purchase right now (while supplies last, of course).

As many of you FreekNation loyalists already know, last night we officially released the FPS Freek CQC. We are very excited to get this great attachment on your controller, but first, I wanted to take a few minutes to explain some of the benefits and reasoning behind the new CQC.
Since the very beginning, customer feedback has been our number one source of determining the products that we bring to market. Without you, we’d probably still be working on developing time travel mouse pads or adamantium implants for domestic pets—so, we thank you for all of your input and direction over the years. FPS Freek CQC was developed just for you!
Some people have small hands—not freakishly small or anything—just small. Female gamers and 13 year-old boys, for example, have smaller hands than NBA players do, generally. So it makes sense that there should be an FPS Freek that’s more accessible for people with different hand-spans.
FPS Freek CQC isn’t only for those with smaller hands, though. Testing has shown that our current FPS Freeks have a slight adjustment period that varies from person to person. That period is almost nonexistent with the lower rise of the CQC, making it a great “in-between” FPS Freek. Moving to the FPS Freek from the CQC is again less dramatic, causing adjustment periods to go away almost completely.
Using the CQC alone also brings your thumbs back closer to the controller’s face buttons without sacrificing precision control. This creates a more natural feel while also adding an insane level of grip and comfort over stock Xbox 360 or PS3 thumbsticks. Trust me when I tell you that you will leave the CQC attached to your thumbsticks all the time, no matter what game you’re playing. They are that good!
Another great reason to try a set of FPS Freek CQC is that they are fantastic when mixed and matched with other FPS Freek products. Use a single CQC on your left or right thumbstick in-step with your favorite FPS Freek on the opposite stick and discover a custom combination of deadly accuracy that’s just right for you. Try out some different combinations and be sure to tell us about your favorite on our Facebook wall.
Honestly, no matter how you play, CQC is another FPS Freek you’ll be glad to have in your arsenal.

“I gotta say that I was skeptical at first but my KD went from below 1 (new at FPS games) to a 1.9. Great stuff.”
