The year was 1995 and many of us remember when the world of video games was dramatically changing with the advent of faster frame rates, 3D perspectives, and realistic texture mapping. The home game console technology opened up a whole new experience for those who liked to get behind the wheel and power-slide to victory.
Many of our favorite older driving controllers will not function with newer driving games, but there is a way around it.
In this article and video, Steve from NerdKO tells us how we can use our favorite old school driving controllers, Including the NeGcon and others, with newer PS2 and PS3 games.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Great piece. Loved the article and video.
Jeez, I remember when the neGcon come out thinking what a rediculous and stupid design for a controller, and just removed the product from my memory banks because it was so horrible. This video is actually the first time it's been brought back to memory and now as a huge sim racing fan and a couple racing sims on console getting pretty close to actually being sims imo......the design of the neGcon is actually GENIUS for a racing sim fan that would want fairly realistic steering, but can't afford the $150-$300 steering wheels.
How genius is it? Well hold your dual shock and kinda twist it like you're steering a car. It feels decently "right" except turning it like that fights your other hand. Now imagine a twisting axis in the middle, and you've basiacally got a perfectly scaled down steering wheel.
Man......I really wish this controller design would be revisited today, with modern force feedback integrated into the twisting mechanism. I really think it would be a HUGE hit today with there being so many more sim racing fans these days that are really into the realism instead of just being into an awesome racing game.
