The military had taken over the facility, so to grab the supplies, Spero's crew had to duck under the few hundred rifles stored in the player's lounge.

The one-handed grip has motion and position sensors, so if you're playing a Ping-Pong game, you just flick the controller like a paddle. Or, to shoot, take aim and tap a button. For more elaborate games, a second piece with analog stick and two triggers (for that extra itchy finger) can be connected...
