Continued from page 11

Anyone who likes third-person action games or first- person shooters simply has to add this cool device to their collection! It makes playing these types of games so much more enjoyable because players can focus on slaying enemies instead of struggling with the controls. The MOGA also greatly enhances flying and space com - bat games as well as plat - REV form IEW S games like 5 s CORI tars NG SY "Sonic CD" and "Pac- 4 = Mus STEM stars t-Hav Man."

Not every game on the market works with the MOGA because games must have compatibility added by the developer. Fortunately, this can be done both during development or added in a patch after re - lease. Currently there are around forty games that are compatible with the MOGA, including: "GTA: Vice City," "Steampunk Racing 3D," "Jet Set Radio," "The Dark Knight Rises HD" and "Real Soccer 2013." In addition, at least two free games are included with the MOGA app. All compatible games can be down - loaded from the MOGA app store or the Google store, but better support will come from MOGA itself.

Not only does the MOGA enhance my portable gam - ing experience, it's also very quick and handy to set up and use. The unit comes with it's own carrying bag, and both the MOGA and an Android phone (un - less it's the Galaxy Note II) will fit easily into a stan - dard pocket. It only takes a few seconds to pull out the MOGA, attach a phone, and then get the gaming party started! Sadly, one major oversight can cause problems. The control button on Samsung Galaxy phones (and possibly others) ends up on the underside of the phone when turned sideways, so it isn't accessi - ble when the MOGA is attached. This means that gamers have to manually remove the phone from the device to adjust the volume, which is an unnecessary annoyance.

Power A claims that the MOGA will run for up to eighteen hours on two triple A batteries, and I have yet to run into any problems with power consump - tion. However, I would gladly sacrifice a few hours of power to get a rechargeable battery pack instead of using standard batteries.

Casual gamers will be intrigued by the MOGA con - troller, but this handy device is a must-have for core gamers on the go! COPYRIGHT 2013 CREATORS.COM.
