Top 10 Worst Game Controllers
Ant writes "IGN has a top ten list that focuses on some of the brilliantly terrible game controllers that shipped for game systems.

Either way, these controllers are a bad bunch."

You: A PENGUIN?!?!
Me: I told you nobody gives a crap about the Dreamcast...
There's a Starman, waiting in the sky / He'd like to come and meet us, but he hasn't got the time.
Dude, the touchpad gives you bragging rights when playing FPS. "You just got owned by a touchpad mouse!" Extremely humiliating...

Heh. So that explains the seizure inducing flashes you always see in Pokemon and Anime stuff.
