Hey Brian,
I agree 100% with what you're saying. Personally, I'd love a speed slider in
almost all the games I (try to) play. I've long fell off the 17 to 35
demographic and just can't play the twitch games like I used to.

Of course this won't help with multi-player (net) games where each player
most likely has different response times. (I'm just screwed there. ;-) But
for single player games it would be great. ;-)

This reminds me of two hardware hacks we did way back when. Tweaking the
speed (and paddle sizes) in the original PONG and the "slow-motion" NES
controllers that would hit the start button twice at a variable rate to slow
down game play. ;-)
