Mindwire has come up with an electrical muscle simulation kit that actually gives gamers direct sensory feedback. That means when your onscreen character takes a hit, you get a shock. The price is £99.99 and the Mindwire-V5 will plug into any second-generation console through the controller port.

So, if you are a glutton for punishment, this add-on will give you a more intense and immersive gameplay experience if you’re up for it. A maximum of five self-adhesive pads can be applied to your arms, legs and stomach. Hell, why not just have your little brother kick you in the nuts everytime someone scores a hit on you? That’s immersive gameplay.
