GameCube Controller Purple

When all the hype in the gaming world, was all about the Xbox, and PS2, the Gamecube didn't really get much praise. I was always a Nintendo fan, and so i was on the side of the Gamecube. It was a bit of a failure, however the controller was the best thing it had going. Especially when looking at the competition. I am going to hold onto the opinion that the Gamecube controller is the most comfortable i have ever held. The original Playstation one wasn't amazing, and after a while i remember getting cramp in my hands. For some reason they decided to keep that design, not just for the PS2, but also for the PS3 (lazy buggers). As for the Xbox, everyone heard about ...  Read the complete review

I've been writing a few too many film related opinions on Dooyoo so for my 100th opinion I thought I'd write about something which nobody else would write about... except for me.

The controller does make an awful lot more sense when you pick it up, the controller is very ergonomically designed and the strange button layout is perfectly suited for quickly moving your thumb from button to button without any effort just try ...  Read the complete review

When the GameCube first came out I was delighted that the video game industry was steering away from the trend of increasing complexity and heading towards simplicity. Unfortunately, many people misunderstood this move, and thought that this controller design looked too much like a toy, assuming that the GameCube would only appeal to young people. Not many people at all got to enjoy the many cool games the GameCube had offer. How satisfying and fair, then, when you think that now with the overwhelming commercial success of the Wii a lot of people that ignored the GameCube before, will now have access to both its games and to this jewel of a ...  Read the complete review
