PewPew is literally a game in which the way you play is by making the "pew sound" to shoot and "swoosh" sound to maneuver. The game uses Rock Band microphones or Xbox Live headsets to spew the verbal sounds and control the jetpack character on screen.
Two players are needed as one player chooses what specific sounds he will make in to the microphone. You're either a pilot or a gunner, but either way you won't be pushing any buttons. Will the future of gaming be controller-less?
