When Nintendo launched its Wii game console one of the most revolutionary features of the system was the motion based controls. Since its launch the Wii has went on to become one of the best selling game consoles around largely due to the novel control method.

Typically computer games are controlled by a mouse, keyboard and sometimes a gamepad. A new PC controller from GoLive2 promises to bring some Wii style controls to PC games. The Stix series includes the Stix 200 and the Stix 400.

The difference between the two products is that the Stix 200 is only compatible with 2D games whereas the Stix 400 works with both 2D and 3D games. An online game portal will launch along with the Stix products called Sphere provides access to hundreds of free games that can be controlled by the Stix device. Stix controllers will be available for purchase in August 2008 at an undisclosed price.
