 Blue Orb - creators of the SwitchBlade application that allows you to play PC games with a console controller - has unveiled their newest product, SwitchBlade PRO. SwitchBlade PRO has all the PC game play muscle of the original SwitchBlade, plus new features including support for PS3 SIXAXIS controllers, pre-configured game “Blades” for more than 20 popular games, and the new BladeBuilder tool that allows you to build and share your own customized game support Blades.
Additionally, SwitchBlade PRO introduces the new Texter system that let’s you send text messages right from your game controllers.
Natural thumb button movements produce all the characters and numbers needed for messaging, with stored phrases and full configuration provided through SwitchBlade PRO’s configuration menus.
Fully animated onscreen tools guide you through typing messages, displaying commonly-used phrases and providing the ability to text in other Windows applications.
“After receiving feedback from many of the more than 100,000 people who have downloaded SwitchBlade, we’ve implemented what they’ve liked best, and added the new features they wanted. SwitchBlade PRO is the result,” commented Peter McAlindon, PhD., president and CEO of Blue Orb. “SwitchBlade PRO users will continue to experience a growing assortment of supported games—with Blades developed both by Blue Orb game experts and players using the great new BladeBuilder tool.”
SwitchBlade PRO provides a fully configured controller experience to the most popular PC games, including World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Half-Life 2, Call of Duty 4, Age of Conan and now Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
Dr. McAlindon commented further, “Gamers have told us they wanted in-game messaging capability right from their controller. The patented Texter system gives them this capability, plus a powerful stored phrase feature that makes sending messages quick and easy.”
SwitchBlade PRO will be available on a subscription basis for $1.99 per month, or $19.99 per year, and can be downloaded from www.switchbladepro.com or www.switchbladegaming.com starting October 1, 2008.
