| Review summary | It's not the perfect controller for Virtual Console games, but the WaveBird remains the best wireless controller for playing older games on the Nintendo Wii. | The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller may be the most expensive first-party controller ever, but it's easily the best, too. | If you do a lot of movie watching with your PS3, the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray DVD Remote is a nice luxury, but it's not a must-have accessory for the PS3. | The Nyko Blu-Wave Infrared Remote is a cheap and easy way to add IR remote compatibility to your PS3, but the inability to power the console on or off is an annoying limitation. | Superior customization software makes the Belkin Nostromo n52te a worthwhile choice for fans of PC shooters, but the high price may drive gamers to more affordable alternatives. |
