damn it seems like in every new game in this short time they make the right trigger have to be held down like half the time during playing. it is odd because i have never had hand pains from playing too much before.

haha oh well is the toll for having fun in video games..

That's funny you mention that because Burnout Paradise totally makes my right pointer finger get tired! I have to hold it down so long it gets sore! It's a great game though so... whatev.

most of the time my palm is in pain due to the vibrations... too much vibrations in first person shooters and Forza 2 :(

What are you waiting for? You got a class-action lawsuit on your hands, call your lawyer.

I've never had sore index fingers before. I have gotten sore wrists from tensing up my muscles in that area to able me to press the N64 A button much faster for StarFox 64, THAT was a pain I won't forget.

But holding a single shoulder button has never hurt, even when playing games where you must hold down the trigger (Burnout Revenge).

Obviously enough games like Guitar Hero can hurt anyones arms, or wrists. And Wii games are always a constant threat to your arms.

Whenever I have to hold down a trigger, I use my middle fingre. Although sometimes my hand would cramp up playing Rainbow Six online.

I recommend "hand exercises." Get a softish ball and place it in the middle of your hand, and sqeeze. Repeat this until you get tired (be sure not to over-stress the muscle). Do this often and you'll be able to resist much more finger and general hand/wrist pains. Hey, exercising isn't only good for the body, but for games too.

Of course, you can use anything that's round and squishy... if you catch my drift.

Seriously Burnout Paradise is the worst, my finger is so raw after playing a couple of hours, the only solution is to continue playing and complain about it on the boards...

use your middle finger for the trigger ... the pointer is supposed to be on the shoulder button.
