Go With The Glow
David A. Dodson

The worth of a game controller is judged by three main factors: how many features it sports, how comfortable it is, and how cool it looks. Going by these criteria, Pelican's AfterGlow for the PS2 may very well be the coolest controller on the market.

Modeled after their groundbreaking Chameleon controller, the AfterGlow has all of the features that you could want: dual analog sticks, twin rumble motors, multi-directional D-pad, etc. And the stepped down L2 and R2 triggers, relocated Start/Select buttons and smaller case make it exceptionally comfortable.

But the Afterglow's true claim to coolness is the neon lighting effects built into the clear plastic case. Drawing power from the PS2, the controller shines with a groovy blue hue when in use. Very cool.

If you've been looking for a comfortable, solid, well thought out controller that also happens to be heavy on the style, then Pelican's AfterGlow is the one for you. For about twenty bucks you can get one anywhere games are sold or online at GameStop.com.
