Wii Remote Controller

Advantages: Innovation, Responsiveness
Disadvantages: Price, Ease Of Use

...I purchased the Nintendo Wii after weeks of searching the internet for a shop that hadnt sold out and once i found one available i bought it immediately. The package came with Wii sports and a remote controller and i have to say that i was quite impressed. The controllers work well with the console and in particular with wii sports. The biggest issue that i have with the remote is the battery issue. Whilst the batteries do last a long time when installed, to keep replacing them costs a fortune. I also have had this problem with my xbox 360 wireless controllers and would recommend anybody who was buying the controllers to also consider a quick charge kit to accompany it. The unit is very responsive and works very well, this depends on where you put the sensor that is supplied with the wii so make sure that you read the manual carefully...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

I am in complete control

Advantages: Tough, Easy to use, Not overly Priced (if you ever need a new one)
Disadvantages: Mine has tooth marks on

...As Sky Plus has began to be a key part of my life I'm now starting to adore the control just as much as the overall service. Coming in a primarily gray colour with a black back and trim (including most of the buttons), the device is well laid out and simple to navigate. At the top are the On/Off button, the Sky Button and the TV button (allowing you to control the TV with the remote instead of needing both a TV remote and a Sky remote lying about the place). Below that are the direct menu buttons to the TV guide, Box Office, Services and Interactive, of these the TV guide button will be the one that gets the vast work out, with Box Office getting the occasional use just prior to major boxing contests for myself. Below that is the navigation buttons and the control/program up downs and select button. They include the mute button...

Review of Sky Plus 111 Remote Control

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...

Remote Control

Advantages: Another all action thriller
Disadvantages: None

...running from. The tactics he employs to help him in his quest are once again described so accurately that you just know that Andy McNab is writing from experiences he gained in his time with the SAS. The suspense in the book is in some chapters absolutely amazing with the reader not knowing which way it is going to go and it is literally impossible to put the book down. However, at the “end” of the chase you finally think that it is all over and everyone is going to live happily ever after when the story takes another dramatic turn and shoots off once again to keep you hanging on to the last page. All in all an excellent read full of action, suspense and drama. There’s even a little bit of comedy thrown in here and there for good measure. My only regret is that I read Crisis 4 before Remote Control as it spoilt...

Review of Remote Control - Andy McNab

Shuttle remote control

Advantages: saves time, ideal for turning your computer into a TV
Disadvantages: makes you lazy

...This remote control is ideal for the most lazy shuttle users or for people who want their shuttle to be more like a TV. The shuttle mini computers have been designed in mind for computer game players who like to carry about their computers to different venues but also people who want computers to form a part of their home entertainment system. This includes linking up the shuttle computer with their TV, DVD player, skybox and to be able to record stuff off the TV directly onto the computer. The remote control is wireless and it talks to the USB receiver module so you can happily operate the 19 keys on the remote control. Features = * System power off control - turn off your computer without getting out of your chair! Its like the stand-by button you get on TV remote controls though there is a BUT. The power button can only...

A Wii Second Controller

Advantages: Comfortable, Analog Stick, 2 Buttons
Disadvantages: None

...The Official Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller was made to replace the normal Wii controller for easier and comfortable game play. I used this controller at a friend's house as he recently purchased it so thought id check it out. The controller is designed and shaped to perfectly fit your hand. The controller has upgraded on the simplicity of the original Wii controller and goes that step further to meet the needs of die hard gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii controller at the expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller. The controller contains the same motion-sensor technology enabled in the original Wii controller but also includes an analog stick to help with character movements which gives it extra assistance. So basically you will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to...

Review of Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller

Wii Remotes-the best game controllers so far?

Advantages: Very responsive
Disadvantages: Battery life is poor

...This contraption is an amazing piece of technology. At least one Wii remote control pad is supplied when you purchase the Nintendo Wii. I don't think its much to look at, but here is a case where form followed function. It appears to be a pretty average remote control pad but it's far from that. It consists of 8 buttons on the top: - Power on/off - Direction pad - Button A - '-' Button - Home Button - '+' Button - Button 1 - Button 2 As well as the Button B on the underside. The majority of individual button functions obviously vary with the software you are using on the Wii at the time. Currently I have only seen these Wii Remotes in white, but hopefully they will be available in more colours shortly. At the bottom end of the remote there is a port for the Wii Nunchuck, which is an additional control device...

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...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

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...

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...
