At E3 2008, Novint came to show off their new Pistol Grip for the Falcon controller. We covered the Novint Falcon in depth a little earlier this month. If you're not familiar with the Falcon, the realistic tactile feedback is its biggest selling point. The controller simulates the kickback of guns so you know if you're firing a shotgun or a Magnum. The controller even does a great job of simulating different walks, runs, and jumps, amongst many other effects.

　　Our preliminary experiences with the Pistol Grip made us rethink the product greatly. As the name suggests, the Pistol Grip is indeed shaped like a gun. It has a working trigger button, as well as three side buttons. We got to try out the grip on Half Life 2 and really got into the game's feel and movement much more so than when we tried out the Falcon with its default ball-like grip. The pistol shape better fit our hand which made turning and aiming much easier. The Pistol Grip will be available for $20, or you can opt to purchase a bundle that includes the Falcon, the Pistol Grip and Valve's Orange Box for $150.
