			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There have been alot of really smart and innovative game controllers coming out recently. I&#8217;m very pleased with the direction the gaming peripherals market has been heading! I got a chance to play with the <a href="http://home.novint.com/index.php">Novint Falcon</a> at Quakecon last year and fell in love! its a great device, really brings the player into the FPS experience, prob the best step forward in the peripheral market since the NES Zapper. Force feedback is bitchin, exp when it gives you realistic stopping points as far as motion in game, but I digress.<br />
The reason I bring that up is to discuss the next step forward. Force feedback is awesome, but what a competitive FPS gamer really needs is ease of use, and quicker reaction time. Spiffy trinkets are one thing, but shaving a millisecond off your reaction time and reloading. now that will sell. I&#8217;m thinking that&#8217;s where <a href="http://theperegrine.com/">the Peregrine</a> is taking us. It seems like a power glove on steroids Its a glove that you wear while gaming and by touching your thumb to various touch points on the fingers you can execute an action. Whether it be a macro or a simple keystroke. ideally the system could be used to replace a keyboard and mouse all together (with some modifications) but as a supplement to a keyboard and mouse, it seems like it cut down my reaction time significantly! not to mention that it looks fucking amazing!<br />
<img src="http://www.neondemon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/one-1024x768-300x225.jpg" alt="one-1024x768" title="one-1024x768" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1906" /><br />
Not to mention the possibilities for using this as a keyboard alternative when typing. I love the idea of wearable computing as you may imagine. and this kind of gaming gear brings us one step closer to my wearable computing dreams.</p>

<p>This game has sold me for several reasons, top on the list is tossing people out of helicopters, superhuman abilities, co-op multiplayer, fully interactive free-play game style&#8230;. but seriously, jumping up on a helicopter and throwing someone out&#8230; who can really ask for more? looks like a cross between F.E.A.R, Assassins Creed, and a big pile of sexy. from what the developers say there &#8220;Focusing heavily on story&#8221; (woot). youll hafto watch the video below to get a grasp on just how free play this game seems to be.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="392"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=23763"/><param name="quality" value="high" /><embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=23763" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="392"></embed></object></p>
<p>Ok, I&#8217;m done praising a game i haven&#8217;t played yet and is indeed not out, but some day ill write a review <img src='http://www.neondemon.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  For more information check out their website <a href="http://www.prototypegame.com/us/index.html">Here</a>. later.</p>
