Game controllers are available for the PC but one can only expect the simple ones from Logitech or the Xbox 360 controller that Microsoft has released for the PC. However, PC gamers have been yearning for a Wiimote-like controller. Now Playhut’s GoLive2 has sent word about Stix, which is a motion-sensing controller for the PC.
Brian Zheng is the president of Playhut. He said, “Stix will completely change the way people experience online and PC gaming. At purchase, Stix will be compatible with thousands of free online and retail games, and we are adding more games to that list daily. The fun is endless with Stix, and the wide-range of free, supported games makes this product perfect for every member of the family.”
Stix is basically a wireless, touch-screen controller. The controllers are compatible with thousands of existing, free online games. Also, Golive2 is introducing two versions of the Stix, Stix 200 and Stix 400. The former adds active gameplay to 2D online gaming while Stix 400 has support for 2D and 3D environments.
The Stix motion sensing controller for the PC will be released by Golive2 in August 2008. They have also come up with a free, online game portal, which they have named as Sphere. No info on the prices of Stix.
