Gametrak Controller Wins Award

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the insert-dirty-joke-here dept.

Philipp Lenssen writes "According to German Spiegel Online, the Gametrak controller by In2Games just won the "Best of GC" award at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. Cyber-glove Gametrak is announced to launch across Europe next month for the Playstation 2. Once the right software is released (fighting game DarkWind comes first) you should be able to punch opponents, use golf clubs, dance around, and bounce virtual basketballs. A demo video is available."

      I said that when I got the Power Glove, unfortunately I changed my mind after trying to play Rad Racer like that kid in The Wizard and failed miserably. Plus it made my weakling arms tired...

    Don't be alarmed, folks, the pinging sound you hear is that of silicon, slowly cooling from its melting point 1410 degrees C. Presumably this is where the term from which "ping" sprang.

    I wouldn't want to run into an IE user who had one of these. The size of his arms would be huge after punching all of those popup windows.

    The porn industry was buzzing today over the next generation sex toy.

    The girl at the end of the clip totally made me perk when she said, "come in and play"... with the accent and everything...

    Then a series of words flashing on the screen:
    "Punch"
    "Swing"
    "Block"
    "Bounce"
    "Swi tch"

    I'm sure that one particular verb we're all thinking of "inserts well" into the above sequence ;)

    I shed a tear for humanity.
