Gaming Giggity-goodness

In this day and age of "next-gen" consoles, the controllers have advanced as much as the graphics engines have. Companies seem to be crawling over each other to make controllers easier or more attractive to use.

E3 2006 introduced the Novint Falcon, an intuitive controller that allows you to move things in cyber space as if you were actually holding it. You hold the arm as if you were shaking someone's hand and can move it in any direction. It has force feedback too, if a ball is supposed to have texture, it vibrates in the right areas. Seems very cool. The only problem seems to be that it was seriously delayed. Now, a year later, you too can own this cutting edge controller - for a mere $189.


Other grips (pistol and such) will ultimately be available. The one that caused me to blog about is this "attachment":
I shouldn't be surprised, it was only a matter of time I suppose. Anything that vibrates naturally lends itself to "private" toys (I swear my Wii controllers are safe), but the hell?


However, this does raise a few questions:

1. What games support this particular controller?
2. Who's got the dexterity with their "joystick" to be able to move an object in three axis?
3. What games support this?
   
4. Unless it mounts to the bottom of the desk, can you think of a good position to use this?
5. Is there danger of electrocution? (this may be a good thing for some)
   
6. Seriously, which games support this?

I suppose it may be a good way to get your girlfriend/wife into gaming...
