I've never had trouble with breakout/arkanoid type games with analogue or digital left/right control.

well no offense then but you cant be a champion at the game then .. you need that quick spin for the crazy deflections .. im not saying you cant play it without one .. but the true arkanoid champs cant play it without one .. its impossible to replicate that quick spin diagonal cut of the ball with a analog/digital control ... the colecovision had a trackball for centipede ( which rocked BTW ) so i dont see why someone cant make one ..

You're assuming the game is designed around the necessity to flick the paddle or ship from one place to another in a split-second.

E3 09: Shatter for PSN will make Geometry Wars fans happy

Not as impressed with the style of the visuals after seeing Gravity Crash but they're completely different arcade style games.

PlayStation Eye Chat: Shatter for PSN
Posted by Chris Morell // Senior Specialist, Social Media

Man, somehow we missed the incredibly cool upcoming PSN game, Shatter, at E3. Thankfully, the kind folks at developer Sidhe agreed to participate in the PSB’s first-ever video interview using the PlayStation Eye. And considering the company resides down in New Zealand (insert generic Flight of the Conchords quip here), it’s just about the only way to get them talking in-person.

Shatter is like Arkanoid on steroids…and we mean that in the most positive way. Here, Managing Director Mario Wynands talks about the game’s slick graphics, power-ups and unique push/pull gameplay that makes this PSN game the real deal.

And what do you think of the PS3 Video Chat format via the Eye? Drop a comment and let us know…it could be a great way to conduct interviews with folks from across the globe.

Looks fab.

Man, I remember actually beating Arkanoid in the arcade (yes, the game really did have an ending!). Must buy this when it releases!
