On-rails shooter got slammed pretty hard by the critics, but to me it's sometimes nice to let go of the controls and give in to an on-rails shooter
Too bad the 3D is fairly borked.
If I were on the Nvidia team I'd rate it a "Fair":
- Several things render at the wrong depth
- 2D Hud
- 2D Crosshairs
- Some doubling at the edges
Playable, but *really* rough

It looks like [url=http://www.ultimarc.com/aimtrak.html]Aim-Track[/url] is supposed to be a really good one for PC ... but I'm not too sure that it'd even work with 3D gaming because it would be calibrated for a single X/Y location and in stereo we're seeing two shifted X/Y locations which is basically presenting all the same issues as trying to use a 2D crosshair. The game would need to take into account the stereoscopy and have R/L eye dominant aiming to be accurate.

This is cool! So it's like using a Wii-type bar technology. This is giving me memories of Time Crisis-type games - too bad almost none of them got ported to PC :(
Ohh damn, look at this bad boy!

I've used the Razer Hydra for some games which worked really well, not quite a light-gun but its a nice alternative to using a mouse.
It works really well with Portal, simple shooters and Mass Effect 3.
