Razer Hydra: First Movable Controller for PC

If you own a Playstation Move or Wii you know what are the feelings, when controling a character in your favourite game in the real 3D space. If you are one of us, who only own a PC and envy to those who own a movable controlers among their device, then you can relief yourself. Why? Because one of the biggest gaming device developers on the market Razer, had announced a release date for Europe for their movable device Hydra.

Yes, they have released it several months ago in America, but what you don't know is that this sweetness from Razer arrives in your local shops, somewhere at the beginning of the second month and will cost you 140€. If you are not familiar with Razer Hydra and don't know what this extraordinary device is, well here are some basics.

I can best describe it, with that it is like having two levers having in your each hand, with bunch of buttons on them and reminding on the Wii or Move controller. So each controller will benefit from one analog stick, with 5 buttons spreaded bellow it and 2 additional buttons at the back side of the controller. It will not have the in-build accelorometer, because for controlling the device, there will be used an electromagnetic field. 

The electromagnetic field will be emitted from the base station, which will be put in front of the monitor. The developers Sixense are claiming that this inovation is far better than Sony's or Nintendo's and that it is actualy working in a zero gravity space and on the north pole! The purpose for making this device is, for the player to feel the realism in games. 

The list for supported games is quite long (125 games) and among it you can find some great games like Left for Dead 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassins Creed series, Bad Company 2, CoD series and many more.
