I was surprised to discover just how many disabled gamers are out there.

Most of them are playing casual games, and I suspect that's because complex console titles are difficult if not impossible to play when you have almost any kind of serious disability (physical or otherwise).

One product that could help change that, though, is the one-handed Access Controller from modder extraordinaire Ben Heckendorn.

I'm actually interested in doing a larger follow-up story on disabled gamers at some point, so if any of you Punchbutton readers know a disabled gamer (ideally in the Dallas area) who would be willing to be interviewed and perhaps even photographed for an article in the newspaper, let me know.
