Gaming does stop with the just the console. Over the years, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsft and more have added to their arsenal, filling the homes and closets of gamers with peripherals. These items can assist in pulling players further into a game, or they may just look completely bad ass.
Peripherals have served very different purposes throughout the years. In earlier games, the addition of external simulation really added to the overall experience, regardless of graphics. Today, developers look to hone games and create an even more immersive atmosphere.
So let's see what kind of ridiculous hardware we have queued up today.
Guitar Hero Explorer
Standing almost as tall as the Highlander, the Explorer has remained one of the favorite guitars of hardcore Guitar Hero/Rock Band players. It managed to last through thousands of Dragonforce attempts, survived being dropped on the pavement while transporting it from one house to the next, it was almost as though this guitar had a spirit that wouldn't quit. Stay gold, Explorer-boy.
