Game Grip

If you want to add that Saturday afternoon gaming experience to your Monday morning office experience, here’s something to add to your collection of iPhone accessories.  Marware’s Game Grip fits both iPhones and the iPod Touch, for a a video game controller feel while playing iPhone games.  But is it useless foam, or finally a worthwhile iPhone gaming attachment? Gizmodo and CrunchGear seem to be voting “useless foam”.

The Game Grip includes silicone grips, a silicone cover for your iPhone, and a silicone cover and spacers for your iPod touch.  You can charge your gadgets with the Game Grip in place, and wear your earbuds or headphones.  The Game Grip is available for pre-order at Marware for $50.  Zowee, 50 clams?

Want to play your PS2 games on your computer, but need a better controller? Now you can use your PS2 controllers with your PC. This USB powered adapter allows you to plug in two PS2 controllers for use with all your favorite PlayStation and PS2 games. It’s available in digital and analog versions and it’s compatible with two-player games.

It seems there are many video game adapters for your PC or notebook computer. While checking these out, I also found PC adapters for XBox controllers, a 4 controller PC adapter for PlayStation 2, and a cool PS2 keyboard and mouse adapter, which supports all computer keyboard functions and PC mouse functions including scroll (supposedly awesome for shooting games). With all these gaming gadgets on the market, gamers are sure to find the right video game accessories to to morph their equipment into the perfect ‘hybrid’ video game console.

I found all of the above mentioned PC/video game controller adapters at Video Game Central.
