Live near a Gamestop? Most likely since they’re more common than McDonald’s these days. The retailer is selling a new silver-colored DualShock 3 controller for the PS3 now. It’s $55 and will get you nothing but street cred*. *- Actual street cred may vary. Link

I’d like to share with you a bit of my childhood. After I bitched enough that SEGA Genesis wasn’t making the grade, my parents got me a Super Nintendo. A few years later, I would be in Babbages (remember those before GameStop bought ’em out?) and spotted this Capcom Pad for the SNES for a mere $14.99. I bought it. ...

So you thought Microsoft was gonna steal the show at E3 with its ‘Project Natal‘ demo? Wrong! Sony swept into E3 yesterday and showed off its version of full-body motion control, appropriately titled “The PlayStation Motion Controller.” The new controller is a stick and according to Gizmodo, it’s the best motion control yet. Fast and accurate, it uses the PS ...

Take a good look at this photo. Do you see what I see? If you said “tits“, then you’re close, but no cigar. I’m talking about that thing on Morgan Webb’s lap. It’s the upcoming DJ Hero controller and judging by the look of things, I’m not very impressed. It looks cheap and rather bland if you ask me. I ...

How the Tony Hawk video game franchise keeps chugging along is beyond me, especially with the release of Skate 2. So to keep things fresh, the latest incarnation of the franchise, titled Tony Hawk RIDE, will feature an actual skateboard controller. See it down there? With all the buttons on the side?

Holy smokes! For $200, you could buy a real guitar! Look at this thing. Fake humbucker pickup, tremolo bridge, rosewood fretboard – this thing is over the top. It also apparently will get really good battery life and will work with both Rock Band and Guitar Hero titles. Hey, to each his own but I’m comfortable with the basic Fender ...

You’ve got beats, you’ve got a party. How are you going to bring it? Simple. Wait until Livid releases its OHM64 MIDI controller. It features a built-in LED matrix with push buttons. This will allow you to sequence only the cheesiest of 4/4 beats, ensuring maximum danceability. There are also plenty of knobs, buttons and sliders for you to play ...

Here’s a brilliant hack that combines old school functionality with new school technology. The creator wanted a way to play his hacked NES ROMs with more of a “retro feel,” so he ripped apart his Nintendo DS and connected an old NES controller. Want to give it a try? He was kind enough to leave instructions and pictures on his ...

I have a soft spot in my heart for SEGA’s 16-bit Genesis console. I remember playing hours of Vectorman and Cosmic Spacehead, sitting in front of the television set until my eyes begged for a rest. To think now, that I could have been doing it all wirelessly, just like hacker Jakob Griffith. He rigged an old Mad Catz Genesis ...

Shooting Watch is a training device for gamers that lets them test their button mashing skills. It resembles an NES controller in yellow with a mini LCD display and the Hudson Bee logo. Bash the A and B buttons to set a record and then try to beat it. Before you know it, your Tetris skills will be off the ...
