From Justin Wong to Prodigy (from the WCG Ultimate Gamer) to tri force (who holds the current Tetris world record), a lot of big names in the gaming world were at or around the Evil Controllers booth at the convention. Wong spent a lot of time competing against any and all, in a challenge that benefited Saint Mary’s Food Bank Alliance (a local food bank.) While no one managed to beat Wong, he set a world record for consecutive Street Fighter IV wins.

Evil Controllers was on hand to help the needy and let people know about their wide range of custom and pre-modded “rapid fire” controllers for Gears of War and other video games. They’re constantly at work to make sure their controllers have what it takes to give video game players of all levels an extra edge. Beyond the rapid fire triggers, Evil Controllers also pays attention to ergonomics and fitting controllers to different video game genres.

They didn’t have a big “mission accomplished” banner behind their booth, but it would have been prudent. This family operated company from Arizona was able to generate a lot of buzz, even among all the other announcements and excitement at the annual gaming convention. From Justin Wong setting a world record to all the other people who were attracted to the booth by the unique, cutting edge video game controllers, a lot of people stopped by the “Evil Booth” to do a little good.

The 2010 E3 Expo will take place from June 15-17, 2010, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and you can expect more good from Evil Controllers in the years to come.

Wong was able to set a world record at this year’s E3 with a 300 win streak while playing Street Fighter IV against E3 visitors. There was no charge to play and each contestant was entered into a raffle for an Xbox 360 Elite. The successful attempt by Wong was recorded by Twin Galaxies, who are official gaming record keepers. The record was previously held by Zak Bennett, with 108 consecutive wins.

Evil Controllers donated a can of food to Saint Mary’s Food Bank Alliance (a local food bank) for each and every win that Wong racked up. The Tempe Arizona based company knows that there are people out there who need a little help – whether it’s with video games and gaining an edge or with something simple like getting enough food to eat every day. And this was a way for them to show they could help with both.

“When we realized how many people were expected to attend E3 this year, Justin and I saw this as the perfect opportunity for Evil to do some good in the world,” said Jonah Coe, Director of Operations at the company.

Evil Controllers was able to achieve that goal at this year’s E3. The company didn’t let their giving mood stop there. Every person who challenged Wong during E3 were entered into a raffle for a red Xbox 360 Elite. This helped draw a lot of people to the booth and caused a bit of excitement at the convention.

Although there was only one winner who took home the Xbox 360 Elite, everyone else was able to take a look at the Evil Sticks, a recently introduced ergonomic thumbsticks controller for the Xbox 360. Other custom and modded video game controllers were on display as well. Add to that legendary gamer Justin Wong, and you had a booth that managed to generate a little buzz and energy, even in such a large sea of excitement.
