Brink has been in and out of the media for quite some time. I don't think people really know what to make of it. The developers' diary reveals a game that wants to be a little bit of everything. Splash Damage refers to it as a genre bending title and I can see why. Brink has a little bit of Mirror's Edge, it has some Team Fortress 2, and it definitely has some SOCOM elements to it as well. The developers say it breaks apart the barrier between a single player game and a multiplayer one, but what does that mean exactly?
Hyperbole aside. Brink appears to be a squad based shooter with a cool and unique art style that's almost a love child between Borderlands and Team Fortress 2. I like it, I dig the way it looks, but with the new Call of Duty map pack, will we have time to get invested? Brink definitely offers more complexity then what you find in other FPSes. It's a class based shooter that can become dangerously addictive. Everything you play under

Coffee Table Turned into a Nintendo Controller
Here at Evil Controllers we pride ourselves on making modified and customized controllers to fit every gamer. So of course when I came across a giant Nintendo controller that doubled as a coffee table I was intrigued. The giant Nintendo coffee table controller was built with 100 hours of labor, and with $200 worth of supplies. The top of the controller doubles as a surface to the coffee table and also as a lid to a storage box. But the coolest part is that the controller actually works!! You can connect it to a NES and play your favorite retro games.

Customer Service @ Evil Controllers
While we definitely enjoy the holiday season over here at EC, this past holiday was a stressful time. We want to formally apologize to anyone that felt they did not receive stellar customer service in the months of December and January. The sales volume we were experiencing was enormous, and it became a little hard for us to keep up. We are definitely the hardest on ourselves, and it is time for us to recognize these growing pains.
As a result, we have hired several more employees so we can handle a larger number of customers. We strive to give the best service possible, and we hope that everyone has a positive experience with us!
Thank you to everyone for being patient with us,
Evil Controllers

Okay so you threw down about sixty dollars for Gran Turismo 5 for your PS3, but you feel like racing with your PS3 controller really isn't up to par with the game.

EVIL CONTROLLERS IS HERE TO EDUCATE GAMERS
After the successful launch of the Evil D-Pad, it appears that the un-convinced gamers are missing some
information crucial to understanding the power of the Evil D-Pad.
Tempe, AZ. (November 2010) "€œ The launch of the Evil D-Pad happened officially on Saturday October 23rd and the gamers demand for a reliable, fuctioning D-Pad was met.The problem however, was that some gamers didn't know it. What the Evil D-Pad did was remove the axis-design typically used on a console controller to give each direction on the controller it's own proper button. It's an original design idea fo a d-pad that hasn't been done by any other 3rd party developer in the past.
The axis was removed to increase accuracy and reliablity. What alot of gamers don't seem to grasp is that most controllers, Microsoft's included, don't have dedicated diagonal

INTRODUCING THE NEW EVIL-DPAD FROM EVIL CONTROLLERS
Well it's finally out, we've been excited for it's release for awhile now and it really couldn't have come out at a better time for you guys. Black Ops is just around the corner and Super Meat Boy is $10 until the end of the month. Both of these games, while massively different, benefit from our Evil D-pad.
While shooters may not use the d-pad as often as the analog sticks, typically used for aiming and movement, the d-pad is still an essential part of the experience. Anyone that's played Gears of War to a competitive degree testify that the original Microsoft d-pad is often a failure in critical moments. Bungie ditched the use of the

Console News - Kinect gathering attention.
Since Microsoft's Kinect is new technology, it's hard for us here at Evil not to be excited, but as gamers are you guys?
The Wii has definitely shown that motion controls can be successful, but part of their success should be attributed to the novelty of motion controls. People bought Wiis for two reason, one it was from Nintendo, and two we hadn't seen motion controls before, the novelty was intriguing. Sony and Microsoft don't have the luxury of being given the benefit of the doubt, we've seen what motion controls can do so it'll take a bit more to impress us.
Microsoft has a slight
