What is that game... -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of clement chou Sent: 27 August 2010 19:05 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for the playstation
Thanks for the heads up. Though honestly, I prefer the original playstation controllers from anything else. Once you have that, you don't need anything else nless you play at tournament levels for a lot of games. And even then, a lot of tournaments use standard controllers, like EVO, which is the biggest fighting game tournament around. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnny Tai" <johnnyti...@shaw.ca> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 8:27 AM Subject: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for the playstation > Just a heads up on this product.
