What’s the single greatest achievement of the current generation of video game consoles? While some might say motion control or the rise of online multiplayer, in today’s Speak Up on Kotaku commenter Aikage is just happy to keep his hands under the covers.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); What do you think has been the current generation of console’s greatest achievement? At first it seemed obvious that graphics was the hands down winner, but then I thought that I had more fun with Bit.Trip, PixelJunk, etc., and Bastion, than with most AAA titles this year. Then it struck 
me.
Wireless controllers. For me this is the first time I’ve played with wireless controllers. y1 com games Why does this matter? Y1 COM Well I live in upstate NY where it gets to be about -20C below in the winter just for kicks. In the past you had to find some way to sort of finagle the cord and then loop extra blanket over the cord area so that you stayed warm and comfy. Nowadays I can just keep both hands firmly under the blanket with no worries! Warmness without the dangers of cords. Plus, I recently came into the possession of three children. PS3 sits on a shelf, controllers sit on the coffee table. Running children + tripwire cords = many replacement PS3s.
So, I contend that wireless controllers being the norm and not some add on feature, is my choice for the biggest impact the current gen of consoles has had on gaming.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
I enjoy the daily missions and rewards system. It gives me extra motivation to play regularly and allows me to earn more coins and bonus items, which enhances the overall gaming experience.
The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
