im going to assume the nunchucks can also be mapped, so needing to use an extra hand when crouching might not be necessary?

that is terrible.. you guys know that it is only the tilt axis that works, the pointing doesnt. So its basically just about tilting ur hand to move it, you dont even have to point it at the screen. its totaly pointless, just look at the guy doing it, he cant even walk, let alone shoot a bad guy.

you're right psycost, if you use a nunchuck, the you wont have to use your second hand...except for the whole nunchuck part. Though i agree that would be badass.

Of course its a mac computer with windows installed on it James. Mac computer + Windows = Game that only runs on Windows. Now that wasn't hard was it?

That's pretty cool! Looks like you could turn up the sensitivity a bit though (unless it's already all the way up oO). - Side Rant - Pft.... Macs... don't get me started. If you have to install another OS to run 98% of your processes, why bother? Safe from viruses my ***. It's because nobody bothers to make viruses for Macs. Besides, why would I buy Macs for Photoshop when I can do it just fine on Windows with a six button gaming mouse!

Besides, why would I buy Macs for Photoshop when I can do it just fine on Windows with a six button gaming mouse! - Clearly, you don't understand that Macs aren't all about no viruses and six button mouses (which you can get for Macs). I use Macs because I find they run smoother and more secure than Windows, with a much better force quite system that actually quites the non responding program immediately instead of having to wait 10 minutes for it actually respond to the command, if you even have to force quite on your Mac. I also like the operating system in general, which IMO is much more intuitive than windows. Plus, I love how easily upgradable the Mac Pros are, where you can add 16GB of RAM, three video cards, and multiple hardrives without having to tear the entire computer apart.
