10. Steel Battalion Controller (Xbox)
True, it may only work with one game – two if you count the now-defunct online counterpart Line of Contact – but the functionality of the Steel Battalion controller is unbelievable. It comes in a huge box and then folds out as a big dual-stick unit with dozens of buttons and a pair of foot pedals. It even comes with an "eject" button, in case you're not feeling confident in your robot's stability. If you still have an Xbox and $200, invest in this immediately – even if you need to set up a table in front of your television.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA First off xbox blows i mean come on every1 out there knoes it, the only thing good for xbox is halo and that even sux....but anyway PS2-PS3 -PLAYSTAION!!! HAS THE BEST CONTROLLERS EVER .. THEY FIT YOUR HAND PERFECT. X BOX ARE TOO BIG AND YOUR FINGERS SLIP...SOOO BOOOOOOOOOOO TO EVER PICKED THIS!!!
I agree Retro, Just because i say i like the controller makes me a fanboy now? when the **** did this happen? You ****ing 6th graders either need to get some brains or get a life. Just because I own a 360, Im a fanboy right? Just because i own a Wii, And i like it, Im a fan boy? Just because i play WoW, Im a fan Boy? wow..****ing Idoits..Your Opinoin has no logical back bone. " OMFG XBOX IN TOP TENZ! I SMELZ FANBOYZ". Idiots...
"Oh, they're clearly 360 fanboys", "Microsoft bought them off", "these guys have no taste"? Is that the best you idiots can toss out there? Get off your ******** high horses and maybe you might understand that they aren't as bad as YOUR biased fanboy peabrain mind thinks. It amuses me how there's really only a handful of choices and it basically comes down to this or that yet if you pick this it's a fanboy choice and if you pick that it's the right choice. You hypocritical, double-standard using trash. Your opinions are worthless. No, microsoft hasn't bought anyone off. That's a waste of money and besides, why would they buy this of all places off? Bad taste? You moron, what makes your taste any better than these reviewers? They are entitled to their opinion just as you are to yours and I am to mine. Of course, seeing as they get paid to do this and most of you are just snot-nosed internet punks, I'll take their opinion over most of yours any day. And 360 fanboys? By whose standards? God, whenever someone shows a preference to something else, it's always fanboyism or that they're idiots. Get it into your retarded brain, they have the freedom to choose what they think is the best and they aren't the only ones who feel that the 360 controller is at the pinnacle or close. Maybe they are fanboys, who knows, but it may just be because it is quality. Besides, it's no less fanboyish than a couple of loudmouth, fire-spewing trolls who are so insecure about their choice that they have to bash the preferences of others.
xbox 360 - greatest controller ever conceived??? now that's a bold statement. We should let the readers decide rather than regurgitating what Microsoft marketing department's been feeding to the public. The N64 was an interesting concept and was very comfortable. That took a big leap and it was under utilized. I had to toss some game cube and dream cast controllers since the analog stick no longer functions normally. But my 4 original N64 controllers from '96 still work perfectly. They should rerelease a Wii version of the N64 controller for virtual console games (but that's just saying they should release a bluetooth wavebird.)
I honestly do not like the black gibson controller at all because I don't feel comfortable with it. I'm not saying its bad but the xplorer is a better guitar. 360 controller ftw!
starsndstraps010... you are a retard. were reviewing controlers not HD quality. You want to see a fanboy ladies and gents... sent your messages to starsndstraps and he will just say... "I dont care... 360 is better."
hahahaha ps3 owners crying cuz no one likes there ****y system...have fun flying dragons with your 6 axis ***s.
360 controller? All xbox did was copy the ideas from the Dreamcast controller. The fact that the analog sticks are not both on the bottom is actually terrible. And what's with the shape of the d-pad? PS controllers are still too small.. The non-wireless gamecube controller is much more comfortable than the Wavebird, because there is no battery pack in the way of your fingers, same deal with wireless xbox controllers.
