As summer rears its much welcomed presence, parents still find it difficult to encourage their kids to leave the console behind and enjoy the outdoors, and these reworked Xbox remotes demonstrate that the allure of gaming is an all-year-round craze.
Fans of the shooter genre will be amused by the alternative aesthetics of the Bullet-Riddled Controller Mods. Rather than having the usual D-Pad buttons, the designer installed 9mm shell casings in their place. If arena-styled fighting is more to your liking, then complement your digital martial arts expertise with the Adorned Samurai or Demonic Game Controllers.
Of course, not everyone has the time to invest in hours of online escapism, and for those who need to multitask, the One-Handed Game Controllers allow two necessary tasks to be completed at once.
