Hurrah, a good chunk of GameSetLinks for the almost-weekend, and there’s a whole bunch of neat stuff in here - starting with some interesting diagrams of the history of console controllers.
Also in here - some more commentary on Guitar Hero IV and the Devecka patents, a good set of WiiWare articles, me whining about the spelling of Grand Theft Auto IV’s lead character, and much more!
