I think we've all had instances where there was a game we really wanted to like, but the controls were just so terrible that we just couldn't make it work. Or maybe I'm just too much of a quitter, but I still have over a half dozen games I want to discuss on the subject, some of which I've beaten, and others that I've dropped, in order to preserve my precious hands. Some of the issues come down to hardware limitations, others, hardware gimmicks, and some, just not using an alternate method that would have made the whole experience just a lot more palatable, but in all cases, it ties into what I had to hold in my hands... and maybe in what position I was expected to do so.
