Top 10 obscure controllers (part1)

Ladies and gentlemen? I begin this article with a question:
Is the duelshock 2 (ps2) really the best controller ever?
Yes! But here are some less known, weird and wonderful controllers that are, for better or worse, eyecatching and "off the wall"

The x button is the trigger! Genius

Note: the right handle is shaped like a gun handle!

Resident Evil controller (PS1)


This is a must have for all old school, tank control survival horror fans! Optimised for Resident Evil (surprise), all the buttons have been moved around for a very different experience. With the "X" button being the trigger(where "R2" should be) , the "R" buttons where the 'Triangle" should be and the right handle shaped like a gun handle, it feels like you are genuinly shooting "T... Those monsters" while having the comfort of a more traditional controller at the same time! The button mapping may seem intimidating, but its actually a very comfortable setup!

ASCII keyboard controller (Gamecube)
And you thought the WII-U controller felt weird!
This crazy thing was made for the online RPG game "Tales Of" and it definatly serves it perpus. However, there arent many online games for the gamecube that will benefit from the ASCII.
Now, joking aside, its actually quite comfortable to handle providing you place it on a flat surface like a table. As goofy as it looks, its a very collectable item and definatly enhances the few online RPG games that can use the ASCII.

EYE TOY (PS2)

You are the controller!
Long before Kinect (the all but abandoned child Xbox), there was the Eye toy (the all but perfect child of PS2). The Eye Toy senses your body movement, allowing you to interact with all the mini games the disc throws at you, While making you look like a complete pillock.

Tron edition controllers (Various)

Waw! Look at them! Just look at them!

No special features here, but the design looks amazing! And it definatly enhances the late night marathons!
Personally, I think the Xbox controller looks better with this design because The neon lights and the chunky design really gives it that cyberpunk feel.

OMG WHAT THE HELL? (PC)

I COULDNT FIND OUT THE NAME, IF ANYONE KNOWS, PLEASE COMMENT

Honestly, look at this maniacle disasterpiece! Looks like a keyboard just puked its guts out on an already weird shaped controller! But hold thy judgement and thou shall know the truth!
I know it looks intimidating (thats me being polite) but believe it or not, its comfortable! It feels heavy,sturdy and every single button is easily accessable! I am amazed that someone made such a crazy looking thing with such a crazy ammount of buttons that isnt only comfortable but also sturdy and well mapped!

Is MasterChief really gone?

Ok 1st of all lets get one thing straight... Spartans don't die, they're just missing in action!
Now that we've clears that up, let's continue.

The latest Halo 5 trailer was a disturbing one to say the very least as it was announced that MasterChief was no more. This mews is devestating to all of us. But put down those tissues and clean up your maskara because something doesnt smell right.




I do not believe for a second that the chief is dead. No, I am not going through denial! Has anyone seen the other trailers? Well let me tell you what I saw and what I think.
First of all, MasterChief is on the move. He is, in this scenario, a traveller.
He is clearly, desperatly looking for something or someone. He appears to have what could be either a dog tag or some sort of chip. Many people say its cortana and others believe it to be a tag of someone MIA (missing in action). Meenwhile though, a group of people are looking for him! Maybe it's some sort of race? Who gets there 1st? Who knows?









The 1st couple of trailers told us about a new suited and booted gun wielding mofo called Spartan Locke. He is known(to the Covenant atleast) for his "Spartan Hunting" skills and is looking for THE Spartan.
Clearly Chief has gone AWOL. But why? This isn't like him, is it?
Here is my theory:
MasterChief was pushed out, forcing him to become rogue!
How? I have no idea, but  think about it. He is a war hero and everybody looks up to him. When there is Masterchief, there is hope, so it only makes sense that an enemy would do this (it males everybody vunerable). So IF that is true, where is he? Has he faked his death so he could infiltrate the corrupt establishment that pushed him out? It is easier to sneak up on someone if they think you do not exist. But then what is the Spartan lock guy doing? Clearly HE knows he isn't dead.
Its hard to say. There are 2 trailer that depict 2 seperate scenarios.
One is of 'Locke finnishing off Chief and the other is of Chief getting rid of 'Locke. This either means that there are 2 possible paths(multiple endings) or a symbol that they were both manipulated to kill each other!




Take a look at one of the 1st promo posters we saw earlier this year. It depicts both Locke and Chief walking the same route in mirror image. Maybe they are both in the same situation but in different ways.




Whatever the reason, Lockes mission is to take out Masterchief and he is more than happy to ablige! The dialogue in previous trailer hints that Locke sees MasterChief as a traitor...
What ever the case, MasterChief is not dead... But man, has he got a battle infront of him! I only hope Locke and Chief team up to destroy who ever plotted this twisted stategy.
For now though, we wait.
