Questionable controller design

After the World Cyber Games held in Singapore not too long ago, there has been a sudden explosive interest surge in the world of computer games. PC games enthusiasts and game console enthusiasts alike have found common grounds and are discussing the new controller designs for the next generation for gaming.

*Note to girls*

Ok girls, I know some of you gals may be thinking... "This entry is boring.... maybe I should just go shopping." Don't lose interest yet. Trust me... this entry is especially dedicated to you girls out there. There's a surprise at the end just for you.


With the Microsoft X-box and the Sony's Playstation 2 consoles being tremendous hits with gamers world wide. Gamers worldwide have high expectations on their new controller designs. Although both the X-box 360 and the Playstation 3 have yet to ship in, and developers have claim theses are just prototype designs, sneak previews on the new designs have sprung up over the net. (Note: All designs are copyright of their respective producers).


Here's the design of the X-box 360 controller. (below)

Cool rite? Simply amazing. All the wireless technology and microchip power in your hands.


Now for the surprise as promised earlier... I found this comic strip by the guys who host Squarebrain.net . Personally I think they are really good with their comics. Check out their comic presented below. Introducing.....
