Hardware designer SplitFish will make their first appearance at the Tokyo Game Show this year, showing off their new line of FragFX controllers for the PS3.  The PS3 has gotten more high profile first person shooters than the PS2, and SplitFish's controllers are specifically designed for FPS gameplay.  I'm glad third parties are stepping up--the Playstation family of controllers have never been very comfortable for FPS gaming.

Edmonton/Zurich Sep 16, 2008 SplitFish AG (SplitFish), the world's premiere designer of PlayStation®3 first-person-shooter (FPS) console controllers, announced that it will be showing off its award-winning FragFX v.2 at the TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008, October 9th-12th, 2008 at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, Japan.

Since its initial launch in August 2007, SplitFish's FragFX for the PS3 has received rave reviews from the media and consumers. The FragFX is a patent- pending two-piece combination motion stick and mouse, that provides gamers with pinpoint accuracy and unmatched control in action games, The FragFX controller received one of the highest review scores (9.1) to date from IGN Gear who called the FragFX "the best controller we have tested on the PS3".
