Mini-Motion Games Carry Custom Controllers

Mini-Motion Games Carry Custom Controllers

Now that Guitar Hero has proven its OK to make a single game that needs its very own unique controller to play, it looks as if other companies are taking the niche controller idea a step further. On Friday, newcomer Aptus Games took the lid off its Mini-Motion titles – a whole series of games that come with their own controllers, modeled after in-game equipment.

The skateboarding game, for instance, will come with its own skateboard controller, which looks a lot like a Tech Deck skateboard mounted on a joystick. Other titles will include RC cards, baseball, and futuristic racing games.

Motorized Flatscreen Mount Tilts on the Fly

The most frustrating thing about wall-mounting a flatscreen TV, besides fishing all those cables through the walls, must be the permanence of it all. After you hoist that 40-inch behemoth up on the wall – it’s there, and you’re not moving it without a lot of muscle. OmniMount’s new Motion40 mount solves that problem by adding some electronic muscle to the equation, allowing you to remotely tilt, pan and swivel a flat screen TV at will.

The Motion40 complements OmniMount’s existing Motion52 mount for larger displays. It handles screens from 23 to 40 inches and up to 66 pounds, which it tugs around using an electric motor. Unlike the larger version, the Motion40 needs only one stud for mounting, and adds a gap of just three inches between the wall and TV. OmniMount also claims the motor is nearly silent, at just 40dB, so it doesn’t sound like you’re trying to winch a Jeep Wrangler out of a ditch every time you go to tilt the screen a few degrees.
