I like playing games on the go to pass the time. I don't want to have to carry around clip on controls just so I can play my games, because I never know when that'll be. I hope they can keep the controls optional.</p> The only thing about it that worries me is the possibility of games evolving to require this thing. I like playing games on the go to pass the time.

The Real Soccer virtual d-pad is decent enough and although it only has two virtual buttons there are other controls that are used by tapping or making a gesture on the screen. Brother in Arms (made by same company) has similar controls where you need to touch the screen to rotate the soldier. I would totally consider buying this though if it inspires developers to release a totally new genre of games that would make full use of it. But for now the developers have done a great job of making games that dont really need an external controller yet.</p> I dont think I'd buy this because the action games I play have decent enough controls already.
