Use Your PS3 Controller On Your Android Phone Using This App

ps3 motion controller, sony ps3 controller
One issue I’ve had with Android superphones, with their dual cores and their gigawhats, is that there just isn’t much of a use for them. Android apps are mostly made for the lowest common denominator, hardware-wise, and aside from a few 3D games and cool (but impractical) HD video playback, you can’t really use those extra cycles for anything without really diving into device customization. We know that these phones have the chops to run Playstation-level games at least — now if only we could use our Playstation controllers! Oh, we can now?
 PS3 Wireless Controller, ps3 move controller,
Yes, Sixaxis Controller lets you use your wireless PS3 controllers with your Android phone or tablet, making your new Galaxy Tab or Xoom an emulation paradise. Well, let’s not overstate the case: PCs will always be top dog in that field, but this does make the tablet platform a bit more exciting for gamers.

Unfortunately, you must have root access to make this app work, so it’s not quite the plug-and-play solution I’d like. The controllers need to be paired over USB, after which time you can have up to four controllers going at once. X-Men Arcade, anyone? Analog isn’t supported yet, so keep that in mind if you want to try your hand at Mario 64 or the like.

You can download the app in the Android Market, but be sure to check if your device is compatible first by using the compatibility checker app.

Nintendo Wii Compared to PS3 Move, and Microsoft Kinect

ps3 motion controller, sony ps3 controller,
Over the past few years, the Nintendo Wii has held pride of place in living rooms around the world as a games console for the whole family. Due in part to the ground breaking interface and being the first to market with a motion capture control system, millions of people who would never have considered the Wii in the past have chosen to buy one of these consoles, and it has become the hub of entertainment.Sales of the Nintendo Wii have far surpassed the expectations of Nintendo and also all of the other console manufacturers, and over the past three years, they have been hard at work to develop their own similar systems in order to engage with casual gamers. With the release of Microsoft Kinect, and PS3 Play, there are finally alternatives to the Wii, but which one should you choose?
 PS3 Wireless Controller, ps3 move controller, Ninendo WiiFirst to market can often mean first to fail, but in the case of the Wii this was not the case. With four years of development behind it, and numerous upgrades to both the software and the Wiimotes themselves, Nintendo's console is still great fun. The Motion Plus system added a great deal of extra accuracy, and really helped break the device to more dedicated gamers.The drawback for many gamers is the fact that so many of the Wii Games are a bit cutesy, Mario is seen as a kids icon, and the lack of really first class FPS games is seen as a hindrance.PS3 MoveWhile the original PS3 controllers did have an internal accelerometer that allowed them to control games through user gesture, the Sixaxis feature was rarely implelemented as part of the gaming system, and as such it was the release of the Move that has made the difference.
 playstation 3 controller,Broadly similar in concept to the Wiimote, the Move features a wand that can be tracked via a camera, and has accelerometers to measure direction and position in 3D. Early games indicate that the level of accuracy within the controller is at least the equal of the Wiimote, however the biggest question is whether the serious gamers will want to make the shift to the new system, and whether a serious gaming console that retails for around twice the price of the Nintendo Wii can capture a significant market share.Microsoft KinectThe Kinect is a completely different means of interacting with the Xbox 360. Eschewing the need for a controller, the 3d cameras of the device simply capture user movement and translate this into the game. Users around the world have also spotted the potential to connect Kinect to their PCs in order to develop a Minority Report style interface for less than alternative products.The strength in the market that Xbox already has, coupled with the fact that more players can interact, and the fact that it is a totally different paradigm to Move or Wiimote means that developers are able to be much more innovative with their games, and provide a more immersive experience. The Kinect also allows more people to play a game without needing expensive extra equipment.SummaryAll 3 systems have their place. PS3 Controller, PS3 Controllers,With Wii it is about the range of software that is already in place, and the fact that the motion capture was a central part of the consoles concept. Move could essentially be seen as a grown up version of the Wii, with more mature games - although a relatively small market, and inertia may hamper growth. Kinect is so innovative and different that it is likely to steal a march on the competing systems. Microsoft have already committed to keeping Xbox 360 for at least 3 more years, and cementing its place at the heart of the living room, and this might be the most significant aspect of the launch.

PlayStation Move - The Best PS3 Games For Christmas 2011

PS3 Controller,
Have you seen the new PlayStation Move controller system? If you haven't then I have got to ask you were in the world you have been hiding, because there can be no doubt at all that the Move controller is the big story for PS3 gamers this Christmas 2011. Just in case you have managed to miss all of the advertising and the hype and the people talking about it I will start off by writing a little bit about what the Move actually is.As I already stated the Move is a new controller for the PS3.
, sony ps3 controller,But it is not an ordinary controller with a joypad and buttons, it is like a magic wand that you can hold on to and move around, and the movements that you make with it are converted into the movements of a character or actions that you are performing within a game. So you can swing it to swing a tennis racket in a game, hold onto it and punch to play a boxing game, and perform a myriad of other physical actions.
 ps3 move controller, ps3 motion controllerFor Christmas 2011 the PlayStation Move is going head to head with another new system from Microsoft called the Kinect, which is also a physical gaming controller and both of which are seeking to take on the territory previously occupied securely by the Nintendo Wii.So what are the best games to buy that you can play using this new system, and are they going to be the best games for Christmas 2011? Well, there are certain types of games which work very well with a system like this, and others which do not work so well or are not available at all.Fun family games, and particular packaged where you get a collection of mini-games on one disk, are a big market for the Move.
PS3 Wireless Controller,If you are looking for something for the whole family to play together while you are all in the house over the Christmas period these are a good choice. Sports games are another big area for it, and one of the main bundles that are being promoted is for the Move controller and the Sports Champions game, which includes volleyball, archery and various other sports. Sharp shooter games and racing games are also likely to work very well with the new system, especially if you get attachments to clip the Move into a plastic gun or steering wheel.But many of the big titles will not support this system. If you like open world, adventure and role playing games then the Move may not be a good choice for you.
PS3 Controllers, playstation 3 controller, Also shooting games which involve stealth and strategy and lots of equipment rather than just straight sharp shooting, like Call of Duty: Black Ops which is set to be the best selling PS3 game over the 2011 Christmas shopping season, are not suitable for using with the new controller which really work best with more simple games with a smaller range of possible actions.
