Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

    What's the point of having all those things you can latch on to the controller? If there's a piece of plastic shaped like a tennis racket attached to my Wii controller, will that improve my game?

    From a retailers perspective, the plastic attachments help younger kids grasp the concept of the relationship between the controller they're holding and the images they are seeing on the screen. "Oh... it's a golf club now..."

    From a gamer's perspective, it actually limits the functionality of the remote. Although developers aren't stepping up, the remote does have a lot of potential. The remote could be anything, anything that it could be imagined to be, but when a plastic tennis racket is slapped on there, it becomes one thing.

    I guess the base of my point is that the accessories that are designed to create realism and immersion only end up hindering the potential.

    Not only is the Wii and giant piece of crap, but the attachments are too. I'll stick to my gamecube with it's random controller for life. Do you really need another game for that system besides the utterly amazing Metroid Prime and the RE series?
