X Box Official Controller

XBOX Official Control Pads are designed by Microsoft. As microsoft made the system, they had first shout at getting the design right. What this means is that other companies couldn't copy their ideas. Now we all know that Microsoft don't often get things wrong, and they made sure that the pad they created was better than any other. But are they really worth the extra expense for the real thing? AESTHETICS: The pad is bigger than what console players are used to and are much larger than the pads used for the Playstation. This serves for a couple of advantages, the first one being the number of ... more

This is a review on the official controller for the XBOX console. I know some of you may think 'what the hell am I doing?', well I thought I would give something a bit different for a try, so hopefully this review will be useful to you, and please bare with me.

Well the first time i saw this x box controller i realised what a huge resemblance it had to the dreamcast controller.

Even though not many people had Dreamcasts everyone new somebody who had one and ... more

Microsoft have always been good at making things user-friendly. Some say they prefer Mac OS X as opposed to Windows, but they make it overly complicated. This is the same with this superb X Box controller. This feels great in your hands, nice and weighty, and the buttons are exactly where your fingers want them to be. Unfortunately, Microsoft are also famous for making their products indispensible, and then charging ridiculous amounts for something that everyone knows they need. £18.50 is quite a price to pay for a controller. Here are the features: 2 Analog Sticks Start with the basic ... more

The best thing about this controller ia that it ia 100% wireless the only bad thing is that it does not have motion control like the wii which make games twice as fun even playstation 3 reecently (sept 2010) have a motion sensor controller but x box will catch up soon because I have found out that thier new console will come out even earlier than Nintendo or sony.
