PC games now playable with PS3 SIXAXIS

Initially, StreamMyGame allowed users with Windows or Linux systems to play PC games on the PS3. And people who would be able to do it downloaded the free program from StreamMyGame and rejoiced.

The StreamMyGame PS3 player and SIXAXIS pairing tool are free downloads. Once everything is installed, there is configuration option which allows users to set PC game controls to buttons on the SIXAXIS.

Product: Sony Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller for the Playstation 3 (aka Dualshock 3, Dualshock 3 Sixaxis)Price: $54.99Rating: Two thumbs up; 90/100; A-; **** out of 5Pros: Looks, feels and moves just like the previous PS3 wireless controller.Cons: No USB cable.
