Skateboarding controller for the Xbox might get old fast

xboards.jpgIf you're tired of the precise control that using a regular Xbox 360 controller with both hands give you and are looking for something more clunky and gimmicky, have I got the product for you. Qmotions is working on a peripheral dubbed the Big Air, and it's essentially a skateboard/balance board combo that lets you control skateboard games like you're sort of, kind of really skateboarding.

Fortunately, there's a real controller connected to it for more nuanced controls. Perhaps this could be a fun way to play Tony Hawk or Skate, but I feel like overall it would be tiring quickly and you'd long for the ease of the thumbstick and kick yourself for spending the money on yet another weird controller to clutter your apartment. But hey, the choice is yours.
