shocking controller

I got this off of fat babies


Want that regular or extra crispy?
Video games are becoming more shocking than ever. The Associated Press published a photo of a video game controller that jolts the user if his or her character suffers damage. The must-have gift for video game fanatics this Christmas could well be a gadget that momentarily paralyzes your hands when your character takes a hit in cyberspace. Mad Catz, the company devising Bioforce, thinks it has a winner, and some people who tried it at a video game convention think it's great, the Associated Press wrote in its report.

.....and to think parents are worried about video games becoming too violent.... they should really be worried about the controllers

Pretty lame idea. It seems like something they'd do in the arcade where the "games" are more about dumb gimmicks like this than good gameplay.

If used properly in the software, I think this could be a really cool idea. Something like in the James Bond movie where you shock your opponent perhaps. Of course, they'll never allow output to get high enough to mae you let go... but the concept is cool if you ask me.
