Mad Catz Making GamesThird-party peripheral maker Mad Catz has decided to start making games as well as specialized controllers. The company announced that it is forming a new development studio with the majestic name of Thunderhawk Studios.

"What kind of games will they make, Stephen?" you may be asking. Answer: They will be making flight simulators. Specifically, a series of MMO flight simulators.

“The formation of ThunderHawk Studios is an important milestone as we pursue our longer term goal of expanding our participation in developing, publishing and distributing games.”said Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc.

So what do you think, gamers? Personally, I think the market is ready for a super-realistic flight simulator using the most advanced PC technology. I hope it comes from Mad Catz. I always pull for those guys, for some reason.

    I wish them luck. We have a serious lack of good modern flight sims out there.

    Mad Catz is the Daewoo of the videogame industry.

    Every Mad Catz controller I've ever purchased was either faulty from the purchase or faulty within months of owning it. Unresponsive buttons, analog sticks that got stuck, and even trouble connecting to the console I'm attempting to use it on have plagued my attempted use of 3 Mad Catz on PS2 and Xbox. Hope their software is more reliable than their hardware.

    I like the idea of more players in the field of game making. Maybe some wildly creative minds will come from this that will also be able to deliver the goods. It doesn't hurt to be optimistic from time to time.

    Games that will require the use of Madcatz controllers for the "full experience"? They took a line from Sony on that one.

    Mad Catz peripherals were always rather hit or miss. Some were affordable alternatives that worked well, others not so much.

    I think the games will be the same quality as their controllers.........
