Video Game Controllers That Let You Play Dirty

from the underhanded dept

It's pretty common in many (though certainly not all) sports for players to go an extra step or two to push an opposing team when they're down. Maybe hit an opponent a little extra hard or try to add an extra shove when a ref isn't looking. It seems that some dirty tricks come naturally in many sports - but not in video games until now. There's a new video game controller out there that will let you momentarily take control of your opponents controller. Sometimes it gives you full control, and others it just messes up their controller altogether. Consider it the video game version of an extra shove.
