GAME HARDWARE
Pool is notorious for getting into the blood. Devoted players dream of combination shots in their sleep, see billboards and windowpanes as felt tables, and unconsciously flex their hands into imaginary bridges. They'll even resort to computerized pool simulations.
But stroking up with a mouse can be awkward - and it's certainly not natural. Enter InterAct's PoolShark, a game peripheral designed to give an authentic pool experience. Its molded casing guides a plastic pool cue (or your own real wooden stick) over a rubber roller, allowing a flowing stroke with the exact speed and power desired. The PoolShark comes bundled with THQ's Ultimate 8 Ball, a PC pool simulator with 14 billiard games.
The PoolShark is a niche controller, a very specific piece of hardware for a very specific kind of billiards nut - but it's a godsend for pixel-pool hustlers.
Real Feel PoolShark (with Ultimate 8 Ball): $29.99. InterAct: www.interact-acc.com.
