We all expected this, right? Yes, Amazon has a game controller, and it works with the company's newly announced Fire TV. Sure, you could use the set-top box's remote or an upcoming custom app to play games, but there's a dedicated controller too that's ready to wrangle Minecraft Pocket Edition, NBA 2K14 and titles from other big-name developers Ubisoft and Take-Two. "The controller is comfortable; it's familiar," noted Amazon Games' Mike Frazzini.

I like that the controller is a regular controller without un-needed features like a touchscreen, touchpad, and speakers found in more expensive controllers. $40 is a more affordable price than $60-70 for controllers for other consoles.

For a $40 controller, it come with a lot of extra multimedia and default Android buttons like Play/pause, next, backwards, home, recent apps, back, etc.

The design of the controller looks good as well.
