Steve Jobs used to talk about how Apple existed "at the intersection of technology and liberal arts", which would be an appealing philosophical position for any console manufacturer, and its insistence on controlling "the whole widget" - hardware, software, operating system, network - so it can guarantee a consistent user experience would also work nicely.

Remember the Power Glove? How could you not? Nintendo's officially licensed experiment in wearable controllers was developed by Mattel and released in 1989 where it became a pop culture sensation, mostly for how bad it was.

Outside Xbox's Mike Channell and Martin Robinson (sorry, talking about myself in the third-person again) really like cars.

While gingerly picking my way through the alchemical laboratory at the centre of a ransacked mansion, carefully hunting for clues, I found myself facing a large, glowing stone the size of man.

The hacks keep on coming: this time it's Konami's turn.
