Not controllers. Games.
Mad Catz, the guys behind all many of third-party controllers and accessories out there, announces today that they've entered into a Publisher License Agreement with Microsoft. This agreement allows Mad Catz to submit games to be published on the Xbox 360.
What are they working on? I heard something about a flight sim MMO awhile back, but I'm sure they have more up their sleeves than just a flight sim MMO. Not that a flight sim MMO isn't cool or anything.
Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. stated, "The execution of the Xbox 360 Publisher License Agreement marks an important milestone as we pursue our longer term goal of expanding our participation in developing, publishing and distributing games."

I still remember to this day, I was playing some terrible Eidos developed Ninja game for PS1, and my Mad Katz d-pad just broke off, revealing basically Elmer's Glue holding it together. I screamed "FUCK MAD CATZ!", threw it into the wall, and never bought another Mad Katz product again.
Until... I got a Mad Katz PS1 memory card for Christmas without asking! And guess what that did? Yep! Within four months, it randomly corrupted half my memory card, deleting my FF7 and FF8 files, but keeping all the short platform game saves.
Thanks for the memories Mad Katz!
Nyko made the Zoom
Then again if they find their own little niche they could make it work, A flight sim mmo is certanly niche
Bears of War, Calls off Duty.
My cousins racing wheel stick broke off.
Their PS1 memory card didn't work right, so I would have to jiggle it in order to get it to save which was a huge hassle, sometimes it would take up to 40 minutes for me to be able to load and save a game.
I remember I had one of their controllers and it felt really cheap and uncomfortable.
They're going to have to work hard to lose the stigma of terrible 3rd party game accessory company for me.
