I came across these a few months back while browsing on amazon.com, by snapping onto your PS3 triggers they are suppose to replicate what the Xbox 360 controller triggers feel like.

Thanks to the Dual Triggers for the PS3 designed by PDP using the PS3 controller feels more natural and has allowed me to spend more time playing games on my PlayStation 3.

While we move into a time of digital downloads the big 2 console manufacturers Microsoft and Sony are expanding there online services by allowing us to download full retail versions of games and save them to our hard drives. Nintendo simply can't offer this feature to it's customers as there is no real storage on the Nintendo Wii. Microsoft is branding there service Games on Demand while Sony has just placed them into there online store. Microsoft certainly has the edge in terms of the amount of...

Teh Good:
Pretty Game, Cut Scenes are fantastic
Great level design, well paced, great battles
Multiplayer, great levels, great level progression system
Teh Bad:
Levels feel very short, leaves you wondering where’s the where the hell is the rest of this level?
Useless motion control
Story? What story!
Overall this is a much needed first party game for the Playstation 3. It packs great visuals,great cut scenes, overall great game play. Oh and yes the multiplayer is what pushes Killzo...
