New gadget allows you to play pool on your PC with your own stick

A new 'Real Feel' controller from InterAct promises to take your PC pool gameplay to a whole new level by allowing you to use a real pool cue.

The PoolShark, which also comes with its own 'cue' that you can use, works by using a roller over which you move the said stick. In no time, the company claim, you'll be sinking balls as if you were down the pub. Peripheral fans are bound to be intrigued by the idea of the PoolShark, though many other gamers will feel that if you want to smack balls about that badly you might as well actually go down the pub.

The gloriously daft creation comes from a company which promises in the future to give us controllers for Real Feel fishing, golf, baseball and even snowboarding.

We at Future Gamer love nonsense gaming ideas, of course, and promise a detailed look at this gadget in the near future. Watch this space.
