Joytech Controller Grip

The Joytech Controller Grip for the Wii basically turns your Wii controller into the traditional type of controller you find on other games consoles.

I have only found one use for this Controller Grip and that is for playing Excite Truck where after an hour or so's gaming my wrists began to ache a bit - but with this accessory the aching is no more!

A nice simple product that does what it says on the tin.

Some places seem to be charging up to £12.99 for this piece of plastic but if you shop around you can get it for £7.99 or less.

Personally I think it is a bit over-priced for what it is and should be no more than £4.99. But then hey, what do I know? I paid £7.99 for it - go figure!

GT Pro Series

The GT Pro Series that I have got came with the free steering wheel attachment which takes the whole gaming experience to a different level.

To steer the vehicles all you need to do is place the controller in to the steering wheel thingy and then simply rotate it left and right!

Then all you need to worry about is 2 buttons. Button 1 is the brake and button 2 is accelerate. It couldn't be any simpler than that!!

You start off in what I like to call 'easy mode' and work your way up getting gold, silver and bronze cups as

you go!

In some aspects it is like the Need For Speed series of games as you collect upgrades that you can add to any of your vehicles as you progress through the game.

If your arms are aching from playing games like Raymans Raving Rabbids then this game is ideal for having a rest from all that shaking and thrusting about!!!
