Game Informer Magazine: Red Steel Interview

Seriously, if your arm gets tired after just an hour of Revo playing, then you need to work out more. I can't believe the number of people that are complaining about the fact that your arm will get tired. Makes it sound like ALL gamers are lazy, not-physically-fit, and unhealthy nerds.

Besides, you'll be using your wrist more than your forearm. It's not like you have to swing your arm violently to make get a response on-screen.

Well, I will say that Metroid Prime Hunters is absolutely exhausting on my arm, and gets downright painful when I play it hardcore. However, that's the ONLY game I've really had that problem with, and I just take a 30-second break and I'm good to go again, it's not like my arm's broken or anything.

I actually think the Rev though would be a lot LESS straining than the DS, just because your not making such tight wrist movements like you do when holding a stylus. And even if it does hurt a bit after a while, no pain, no gain, right? I think it'll be good for gamers to get a workout for a change. I know I need it.

Did you try the thumb strap? It's a lot less cramping IMO. Also I bet most Rev games will let you pick whether to use motion detection or buttons whenever possible, like many DS games now (ACWW allows both at the same time without configuring).

its says it £3.99 in the uk but i have never seen it befor....

Game Informer doesnt come out in england, unless its some expensive import in Boarders, i saw handheld gamer or something like that, it was an american import (they get 'em in every month) for £6.99. But damn considering its an import isnt that bad compared to how the official uk playstation magazine is, at the exact same price.

[alex]

yea true the ofical playstation and xbox mags are exspensive compared to the offical nintendo one which is £3.99 at the the moment but rember the good days when it was £2.50

[bignds]

My favorite magazine had to be playstation planet, but they discontinued it, NOM is good and so is Play.

[alex]
