atari-2600.jpgLast week, Cnet released its opinion of what the Top 5 Video Game Controllers of All Time are. I have to be honest, I do not agree with their list whatsoever.

You can link above to the full article, but here is their list.

Update: The list seems to be in no order whatsoever, but feel free to rank them as you see fit or give us an entirely new list as some readers already have.

Xbox360 Controller

PS2 Controller

N64 Controller

SNES Controller

Atari 2600 Joystick

Sweet list guys, you basically picked a controller from each generation. Granted the Atari got it all started, but come on. That thing was so fragile, it would break every time I jumped in Moon Patrol. As far as the SNES, didn’t that evolve from that NES thing that came out in the 80’s? I remember reading how the N64 controller was the worst idea since poop flavored lollipops when it was first released, yet it cracks the top 3. Someone should tell these people that were other systems out there. Intellivision, Colecovision, I mean the Xbox controller was almost a rip from the Atari Jaguar minus the stupid keys. Let us know what you think so we can make a respectable list.
