Without game controllers we wouldn’t be able to play games, so they’re important. Here are 20 amazing things you never knew about game controllers:

1. The name ‘controller’ comes from the word ‘control’, which means ‘to control something’, like a video game.

2. In the future game controllers will incorporate biometric analysis and retina scan technology, and will be locked to individual users.

3. The ‘X’ button on the PlayStation controller is unique because it’s a shape and also a letter of the alphabet.

4. Some people think the Circle button is an ‘O’, which is also a shape and a letter of the alphabet, but it’s definitely a Circle, not an ‘O’, so those people are wrong.

5. The SNES gamepad is sort of similar in shape to a sanitary pad.

6. The very first game controllers were called ‘joysticks’ because they were stick-shaped and made from wood, which is the same material that sticks are …

Call of Duty’s Zombies mode is the most popular mode because gamers love to shoot zombies in a variety of exotic locations, like on the Moon, in the Pentagon, at Alcatraz, and even Europe. Gamers also love being a famous person like Fidel Castro, Sarah Michelle Geller, or Michael Madsen when shooting zombies. Here are some exclusive new Zombies mode ideas that we thought of:

Hellavator

Taking place inside an elevator, this map is small and square-shaped. When the game begins the elevator is floating in space and players must find all the necessary items needed to construct a space station. When the space station is finished the players can escape from the elevator. But the space station is also full of zombies.

Awards Ceremoany

Zombies spawn from the rectum of a giant Oscar statue suspended horizontally by wires high above the auditorium map. Ben Affleck’s Beard is a new Wonder Weapon that fires snozzle-dust, Adele’s tears, and self-congratulation. You …

How much crime is in the new Grand Theft Auto V character trailers? That’s what we wanted to know so we thought we’d find out by counting and finding out. Here’s what we found out:

Michaelʼs trailer

Crime #01: Running in the bike only lane

Opening shot is of crime, a minor one but still a crime. The two runners are clearly exercising in the bike only lane. The guy on the bike is not committing a crime, unless he’s cycling in the pedestrian only lane, in which case the police would be allowed to Taser him.

Crime #02: Domestic violence

You are not allowed to be violent on someone, even if it is a member of your own family and you’re in the privacy of your own home. It is a crime. Michael’s daughter could press charges after this incident, although we suspect she’ll take it no further than stomping off to her room in a sulk. …

Microsoft is going to announce the next Xbox when it makes an announcement about the next Xbox. Until that happens, we don’t know very much about what the next Xbox will be like. So while we’re waiting for something to happen, here are 5 unbelievable Xbox 720 rumours that you won’t believe:

Rumour #01: Xbox 720 will be 100% backwards compatible and will be called Xbox 360

Rumours of the Xbox 720 being not backwards compatible have been counter-rumoured by a new rumour saying the machine will, in fact, be 100% backwards compatible. However, the ability to play ALL existing Xbox 360 games will come at the expense of not being able to play any new ‘next-generation’ games on the machine. It’s also rumoured the console will have the same specs as the existing Xbox 360, will look exactly the same, and will be called Xbox 360.

Rumour #02: Xbox 720 will have wheels to make it better with Kinect

‘Sick as a XBLIG’ is occasionally a regular feature in which we play an Xbox Live Indie Game and then write about it. Today we are writing about Bleed.

The blob, the worms, the robot, the dragon… it reads like a list of who I would like to invite to my birthday party when I was 6. But it’s not. I never knew any blobs or worms or robots or dragons when I was 6. A shame really because friends like that would have made a great party. Instead I got a trip to the cinema to watch the first Star Trek movie, but we had to leave early because Conrad Lochren vomited on himself and the smell was so bad they had to open the fire exits to let some fresh air in.

No. The blob, the worms, the robot, and the dragon are just some of the old heroes who must be defeated …
