Sixaxis controller

Advantages: Motion control, blutooth
Disadvantages: Feels light

...I have owned a playstation 3 for a number of years now with a sixaxis controller. The controller is extreamly suffisticated as well as all of the normal buttons which are used for conventional gameplay it also contains a gyroscope which monitors its position and movements in six axis, clever hey. The sxiaxis motion control offers a new way to play games and makes things more interesting and more challenging. For example when playing a racing game with a friend and we get a little bored we may play a game where we just use the motion control which makes it alot more challenging and adds alot of amusement. Some of the best games I have found to use with the sixaxis include Super Rub a Dub very entertaining no matter who you are. As time goes on the use of the motion control wil get better and better and will include better refinement...

PS3 Sixaxis Controller

Advantages: Battery Life / Charge Times ; Nice Size
Disadvantages: Squeaking / Sticking

...I don't think there's that much that can be said about this specific product...it's a controller. However, I'll give an account of my experiences of this controller over the past two years. I got two of these sixaxis controllers free with my PS3 so was able to rotate between using one and charging the other, hopefully allowing me to prolong the usability of the contollers. Unfortunately, after about a year and a half ( and many hours of use, 200+ ) the left analogue stick on both controllers began to squeak and stick. I'm pretty sure the analogue bashing involved in Beijing Olympics contributed highly to this. The main disadvantages of this for me is when I'm playing Call of Duty and I'm hiding behind an object and without realising have begun slowly moving out into the open. The second most annoying thing is at night when I'm trying...

Climate Of Hunter - Scott Walker

Advantages: stunningly arranged and sung, mysterious songs
Disadvantages: none

...Climate Of Hunter is one of those albums that needs to played in its entirety. That's not much of a problem seeing as how it's only fractionally over half an hour long. "Rawhide" begins with distant cowbells and then it all kicks off with that utterly brilliant "This is how you disappear" opening line. What a delivery!! To be honest if the rest of the album was complete tripe I'd still love it just for that stunning opening. Quite why Scott chose to write a song about Cro-Magnon people and their herds is something that only Scott could ever explain, but the images of proto-men, buffalo, vast wide open plains come thick and fast. Brilliant track. I won't go through each song in detail - the superlatives would get very repetitive. Suffice to say that "Dealer" is really rather eerie in places, but is also incredibly lovely, "Track...

Review of Climate Of Hunter [Remastered] - Scott Walker

A superb controller!

Advantages: great wireless technology
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...This the wireless controller for all xbox 360 consoles regardless of whether they are the arcade console or the newest elite console. This controller will work on all the consoles. The controller itself is just as important as the console as without the console you are kind of stuck and can't do much. This controller is also wireless! Wireless: I remember when i had my PS2 and PS1 and had all those wires dragged across the room and getting all twisted within each other - then my mum would always complain about them being left everywhere and wire becoming a hazard. Now that is no longer a problem with the new xbox controllers coming completely wireless. I can now sit where I want in my room and not have to worry about the wire getting caught or stretching across to my desk with the controller in my hand and suddenly being jerked back...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

SIXAXIS CONTROLLER REVIEW

Advantages: ergonomic triggers
Disadvantages: no rumble pack

...I am extreamly made up with this new controllers for the playstation 3, the good points: 1) the reaction time between the controller and the console is so responsive its like it is connected via a wire. 2) the motion sensors are well balanced and the new triggers are a welcomed addition.3) The controller has a very long battery life. Downsides 1) its a shame that each controller does not have its own charger this would make it much easier to charge rather then having to share the one lead which is included with the consol. 2) its a great shame that the sixaxis controler does not have a rumble pack intergrated but I do believe that the next model will. 3) For me the fact that the controller(s) do not turn themselves off when they have not been used for a coulple of minutes is a shame this would be a great addition however I really like...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

PS3 game controller

Advantages: Lightweight, good battery life
Disadvantages: No shock device biult in for vibrations to enhance gameplay.

...It's a good lightweight controller. It doesn't have the weight that the xbox 360 controller has, which I think is better, but is does the job. The controller also does not give you any vibrations when using it in games, which would have been nice as this adds more realism to gameplay. Another plus to the xbox 306 controller. It's wireless and uses bluetooth to communicate with the PS3. This works perfectly. Battery life is also very good, you can get around 30 hours gameplay before you need to recharge. The controller also has motion sensors built into it allowing you on certain games to move the controller instead of the pads to make the car in F1 move from side to side. This is very sensitive and requires patience to master. I think we have all become too used to using the gamepad to move around the screen. Overall...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

The controller which shook the world

Advantages: Six-axis, light, wireless
Disadvantages: no rumble pack

...When you think of a games console you think heavy, uncomfortable and always getting tangled in wires. Well not the PS3 sixaxis controller. The first point of interest is the wireless cabability of the controller. The controller uses bluetooth which allows a constant stream of information from the controller to the PS3 with no lag time. The second is because it is bluetooth the range of the controller is about 20m, you will never need this much length but it means there will be no-where in the room that you can't use it. The last point about bluetooth is that it does not need a direct connection therefore the contoller doesn't have to be in direct vie of the PS3. The next point is that the controller is incredibly light but also very strong and will not break under any pressure from high stress games. The only bad thing about being...

Climate change, the science, the answers

Advantages: Its a big problem with small solutions that could help IF EVERYONE did something
Disadvantages: inevitable its not going to work out, the earth will suffer

...Let me start of from basics. Climate refers to the temperature over a long period of time, and climate change in general (this topic) refers to changes in the earth's climate - (over decades/millions of years) Climate includes the average temperature, amount of precipitation, days of sunlight, and other variables that might be measured at any given site. Weather is different as its the day to day state of the atmosphere and changes and varies all the time. (whereas climate can be predictable) ----external causes of climate change----- Variations in solar radiation, the Earth's orbit, deforestation, ozone depletion (decrease in amount of earth's ozone) and greenhouse gas concentrations ---The Greenhouse Effect----- (This was actually a question is the June 2007 A2 biology paper so I should be able to discuss this!) The greenhouse...

WIRELESS PS3 SIXAXIS CONTROLLER

Advantages: WIRELESS; SIMPLE TO USE
Disadvantages: GAME DEVELOPERS NOT MAKING MOST OF SIXAXIS

...I bought a Playstation 3 around 4 months ago and, so far I can't fault the SIXAXIS controller for what I use it for. They've bascally kept the original Playstation 2 controller but made it wireless and added the SIXAXIS system to it. This is a motion sensor that is built in to the controller which senses which way you are leaning the controller and moves as you do but to be honest I found this pretty pointless due to not needing it at all, it just makes the game so much harder. I've tried using it with a few games and with some it's better than others but I still stick to the original normal controls as I find them a lot easier to use. So quite frankly my opinion is, I'm glad they've kept the controller the same as from the PS2 but thought that the addition of the SIXAXIS system was a bit of a waste of time unless the game...

Official Sixaxis Controller Review

Advantages: Motion sensors - Looks great - light - trigger buttons - playstation button - easy to charge
Disadvantages: Lack of rumble - too light for some people

...Instead of re-designing the controller for the next system in sony's line up they stayed with their playstation 2 design whcih worked so well. Early pictures showed a boomerang controller design which I for one am so glad they did not decide to manufacture. The new playstation 3 sixaxis controller looks great. It feels extremely light and confortable in any size hands. Although it feels light it is still sturdy and durable with the buttons feeling as good as ever. They replaced the analogue button and light with a great looking round playstation button which is very useful as it lets you access in-game XMB and lets you quit the game or change the controller settings. It also lets you turn off the console and controller as well as turn on the console by tapping this button. The R2 and L2 buttons have been revamped as they are not more...
