Stix, a new remote control developed by toy company Playhut Inc is taking computer games to a new height.
The Stix 200 remote promises to “redefine the PC and online gaming experience” with the motion-sensing controller.
A stab at some of the 2D casual games available on Sphere – the game portal of Playhut subsidiary GoLive2 – offers a bit of novelty and fun, though nothing as exciting as a first strike in Wii bowling.
Wowbotz Bomb Battle, a Pong-like game but with shields and bombs, is as simple as the 1970s arcade classic, with players moving their Stix up and down in front of the monitor to hit a bomb back and forth with their opponent.
Kuttiez Wishing Well lets your little witch character move left and right as well as up and down as you fall down a seemingly endless well. The objective is to light up Jack-o-lanterns as you fall while avoiding flying ghosts.
Stix can work with any Web-based game, as long as either the player or the folks at GoLive2 map out the controls to translate them from the keyboard to the Stix remote.
Stix for 2D games costs around Rs. 2200 and for 3D games it costs Rs. 2600.
