10 worst game controllers…

by Jonic Linley on February 22nd, 2006

IGN recently posted one of their “Top 10 Tuesday” articles on the subject of the worst game controllers ever to grace (or cack upon) consoles throughout the ages…

There are some worthy mentions listed, and while I agree in principle with the inclusion of Nintendo’s Power Glove, I’m not certain it should deserve such a beasting… After all, as a retro games enthusiast myself I would gleefully kick a man to death if someone were to gift me with a Power Glove for my troubles… An maybe an alibi…

Check out the list over at IGN.

    I’d have to disagree on that one. For starters, we never got a chance to actually hold the batarang (not banana) controller.

    Another point, Sony once came out with an explanation on the prototype controllers’ shape (the link escapes me), and the reasoning behind it sounded solid. On paper, at least.

    So how can we say that it’s the worst when we haven’t tried it? If Ian was able to try it and we didn’t, then whoa, you must be from Sony.
