As proof of fact that culture changed since 1995 I present the following evidence: Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012) Compare and contrast those for me would you?

Fight You Own Muscles To Create Force-Feedback On Smartphones 72

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday February 03, 2013 @11:03AM from the isometric-gaming dept.

FatLittleMonkey writes "Researchers in Germany have developed a device that allows users of portable devices, such as smartphones, experience force-feedback from games using just their own muscles... and a small EMS device. When stimulated by a painless electric pulse, the player's arm moves the device in whichever direction the game commands. The player then fights the movement with their other muscles, creating a strong sensation that the device itself is bucking in their hands. According to the developers, users found the sensation much more realistic than traditional vibrotactile feedback. (Should make PvP more interesting too.)"

While it is true Halo is still sold for the PC, only the first one and, god forbid if you use vista, the second one are available.

It still leaves the 360 the point to go if you want 'The Chief'

Personal note:
The first game had the best multiplayer. Halo 2 was not bad, but wasn't Über. After playing H3 on XBL, I have to say I have logged more hours on Halo 1 since Halo 3 was released.
