When Street Fighter IV was released 4 months ago there was a great deal of concern about what kind of controllers people would play the game on. Surely the 360 D-Pad, notorious for it’s lack of accuracy, would be the bane of all SF players. The PS controller, though slightly more accurate, was a mess [...]


Johnny Lee, eat your heart out! What you see above is a combination of a handful of technologies that are being integrated to create some really interesting applications. It allows you to ‘lean’ around corners, turn using your head, and even scope in and out with basic head movements.
