This slideshow is dedicated to those oddball controllers that set out to earn our amazement, but only aroused our amusement instead."

The Oldest House leaking into New York is all I needed to hear to be excited about Control Resonant, Remedy Entertainment’s long-anticipated follow-up to their excellent 2019 paranormal action-adventure, Control. As they recently showed us with Alan Wake 2, the folks at Remedy are not afraid to take big swings with sequels, and Control Resonant looks no less surprising and delightful than its studio and series pedigree would suggest.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is a cinematic puzzle-adventure built around companionship and trust. Gaming Respawn reviews.
Fragmaster FTW lol
Why the hell is the Novint Falcon in there. I'm probably the only person on this website that actually owns one, but it is without a doubt the most visceral way to experience a video game. There's nothing like actually feeling the power of a shotgun blast in your hand, or feeling the weight and inertia of an object you carry around.
dreamcast has to be there, it has a cool screen on it, but it felt horrible.
Some of those should not be on this list. I own the Nostromo N52, I used it with WoW before I quit and a few other games and I love it. There were a couple problems with it, but overall it was the best gaming peripheral I've owned. I don't see how it's considered one of the worst failures, considering it's had at least four versions. If you play MMO's, you should at least try using it for a few days, you'll never go back to a keyboard.
All I know is that the dualshock dpad is the best.
