We've seen him make a one-handed Xbox 360 controller some time ago. We were floored by his Xbox 360 portable. And now he's back with his latest project. Our favorite console modder Benjamin Heckendorn (aka Ben Heck) has released a customized Xbox 360 controller with four extra action buttons at the back. Curious? Check out the pics after the break.

Let's have a look at the news that made headlines on our Xbox 360 blog. We've still got Left 4 Dead 2 taking the top spot with the most number of news items released this week, thanks to the constant barrage of updates from Lombardi and the rest of the Valve team. There's also a couple of profile trailers for the ladies of Tekken 6, announcements,updates... But the treat of the week (at least for me) would be modder-extraordinaire Benhecks' resurrection in the scene with the release of his latest concoction, the Xbox 360 Portable Revision 5.

Since the death of Michael Jackson last week, the internet has come alive with tributes for the late King of Pop.

And when it comes to the Left 4 Dead, it doesn't get any cooler than Thriller.

After 8 years and 12 piercings, BME user metal_games wants to move on to other forms of art he can apply to his body.

The interesting bit here is that the design isn't what you usually see - it's the image of the NES controller. For the squeamish, the pics may not be too suitable for you guys.

You've probably heard people complaining about the Xbox 360 controller. I'm sure they have their own reasons, but at least for this one modder, it isn't so much about the 360 controller in itself, but more of his desire to go retro. This guy took his Xbox 360 wireless controller and remapped it in a way for it to fit into an SNES Advantage joystick controlpad. The result is still wireless; it's even got the LED player-indicator lights, and a female USB slot for charging. Here's a demo vid showing it off while playing SoulCalibur 4.

Here's another example of outstanding gamer creativity and workmanship. What appeared to be just another wooden coffee table soon became a wireless arcade joystick for the Xbox 360, that's after some serious mod work and a hell lot of wiring.
