I don’t know about you, but April Fool’s has quickly become one of the favorite events of the year since I began following and then working in the video game industry. The pranks that have been pulled on the fans of video games over the last few years have reached an ‘epic’ level of status.

Overall Feeling: 

The slickest Move charger we've seen so far. Works just as good as it looks!

The Pros: 

+ Very slick looking.

+ Super convenient.

+ External power supply.

+ Very easy to tell when controllers are charged.

+ Fast charge times

The Cons: 

- Rare occasion of flickering from white to red on fully charged controllers.

- Like anything with a glossy finish, it is prone to dust gathering (but easy to clean).

One of my biggest annoyances with the Playstation Move is controller management. The round design of the controllers makes them awkward to store and charging them is a huge hassle. If you have a newer PS3, you only have two USB ports, so charging four controllers is not possible, and having to rely on a PC or other USB source for charging is not so convienent. Thankfully Nyko has developed an incredibly slick solution to your PS3 Move controller woes .

Since last year at CES, the staff members here at Shogun Gamer have been closely following third party gaming accessory manufacturers like Nyko. Remember back in the day when you showed up late to your friends Goldeneye party and got stuck with the crappy aftermarket controller? You know the ones I'm talking about. They were awkward, cumbersome, often broke and just didn't feel right. Gone are those days.

Second in my continuing series of looks into the world of third-party hardware development is Nyko. This is another company that’s been floating around for a number of years making a wide range of hardware options for those of us that didn’t want or didn’t know about first party options. Now Nyko isn’t a company that I have the personal history of that I alluded to with Mad Catz. By the time Nyko was making accessories I’d already learned my lesson with my InterAct and Mad Catz items.
