Abstract
This gaming lightweight, however, sees a lot of potential in an iPad-GamePad hookup. It's an actual, not virtual, controller that needs no batteries and doesn't hog the iPad's dock port like some other made-for-Apple joysticks.
So charge the iPad, if needed, while playing Katana Jack with the GamePad attached to the tablet's headphone jack. (60beat includes a splitter to accommodate both the GamePad and a cable for external speakers.)
A rentable, video game arcade on wheels sounds like a kid's (or fratboy's) dream come true. Well, it's here: When the Game Truck comes rolling into town, it'll have a soundproofed trailer full of 50-inch plasma televisions, multiple gaming consoles, a Kinect station for motion games and a high-tech sound system.
