Many gamers, if not most, hear "Mad Catz" and think of that crappy Xbox controller they used when they were a kid. Mad Catz has improved upon the quality of it's gaming peripherals for all systems alike. That is what makes this story a shock to many. Mad Catz has always been known for making gaming accessories. Not the games themselves.

It will be very interesting to see the quality and playability of games developed by Mad Catz. What are your expectations of the games they make? Do you find it odd that an accessory company is going into game development? Will you be biased against the games due to the lack of quality in many of their old and new gaming peripherals?
