Arcade-In-A-Box Slim Arcade Custom Controller Review


IGN have posted a review of the Arcade-In-A-Box Slim Arcade Custom Controller, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC:

Ever since the first caveman programmed a lackluster port of Pac-Man for the Atari 2600, the dream of bringing the arcade experience home has been a motivating force in the game industry. But as home gaming gradually overtook the classic arcade, offering a better audio/visual experience in the comfort of your home (sans the general unpleasantness of arcade-goers), arcade-style controls were left by the wayside in favor of more compact fare. Sure, dual analog is the bee's knees when it comes to 3D gaming, but for fighting game aficionados and retro enthusiasts, nothing beats six giant buttons and a joystick.

Enter Arcade-In-A-Box, a company that uses authentic arcade parts in their console controllers for the most arcade-accurate experience this side of a 300 pound machine in your lap. We visited their shop in Tucson, Arizona for some hands-on time with their latest stick, the PS3/X360 Slim Arcade Custom Controller, which happens to be Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC compatible.
