Non-Evolution Of The Playstation Controller

It looks like the Playstation controller has stayed the same after all these years. Compare that to the evolution of Nintendo controllers, and the evolution of all video game controllers.

Evolution of Controllers Before you continue, I mean no offense to controller creationists. You may continue believing all controllers were made by the intelligent design of the almighty cloud dweller. Not even the Power Glove or original Xbox “fat” controller should shake your faith…

I love the NES controller, I enjoy the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, and I hold my Xbox 360 controller even when my 360 is turned off. That being said, I think my favorite controller of all time has to be the Nintendo Gamecube controller.

Sure, Gamecube wasn’t the best console ever, but it was decent, still is, and the controller is amazing. Aside from the fact that it works with the Wii, the design and feel of it are perfect. The handles, the big shoulder buttons, the yellow nub, the smooth joystick, the huge “A” button, and even the unnecessary, but reliable D-Pad. Hate on Gamecube all you want; just leave the controller out of it.

Let’s hear what your favorite controller is in the comments. Check out the full picture below…

This is the first trailer for Assassin’s Creed 2. Wow. Amazing. Hopefully we’ll actually get to see some gameplay footage, or at least some cut scene footage soon. There is no set release date or specific details yet, but the game is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. A surprise is that the game will be released for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. I’m curious to see how the game turns out on the Wii obviously.

Prototype for the PS3 and Xbox 360Do you want some more Prototype gameplay footage? Of course you do. You want it. I know you want it.

This is new footage, but still in the same small demo area we’ve seen before. That doesn’t mean it isn’t awesome though. Alex Mercer can pretty much do anything. Shape shifting, consuming other people and taking their identity and memories, flying, and performing apocalyptic devastators. We actually see one of the devastators at the end of the video.

Prototype hits shelves for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 9th in the US and on June 12th in Europe! Check out the new footage below, and be sure to watch for a random dude getting sliced in half at :50 seconds in.

BioShock 2 Set 10 years after the events of BioShock, BioShock 2 takes you back to Rapture. You play as the first Big Daddy ever created, and of course, use your drill, rivet gun, and plasmids as weapons. You’ll be hunting down Little Sisters, and once again you’ll be deciding their fate. If you choose to save them, you’ll be adopting them, and they’ll ride along with you. Now that’s awesome.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of news yet on BioShock 2, but it is currently set to be released sometime towards the end of 2009. The game is being released for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 simultaneously.

Check out the first ever gameplay footage below!

Yeah, I’ve said how awesome this game looks many times in my previous posts. No need for me to say it again; but I will.

Prototype lets you play as Alex Mercer, an uber super human, with powers beyond belief. He can shape-shift, fly, consume people, perform devastating…devastators, elbow drop tanks. Yep, elbow drop tanks; from hundreds of feet in the air. Alex is pretty much the most powerful video game character ever.

Prototype hits shelves for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 9th in the United States. June 12th in Europe.

The Angry Video Game Nerd Metal GearIn the latest review, The Angry Video Game Nerd takes on the NES classic, Metal Gear.

I actually own the NES version of Metal Gear. Only because I found it at a thrift store for $2. I’ve never really played any of the Metal Gear games other than Metal Gear Solid on the PS1. Well, the Angry Video Game Nerd doesn’t let this classic franchise get away with anything. He doesn’t care if Metal Gear is one of the most popular gaming series ever, he does his job, and reviews it, angrily.
