The Sunday Times: Falcon: get to grips with a real gaming experience, September 16, 2008
"Wired got a chance to play a few FPS games with the add-on and were blown away by the level of feedback and control, saying that it completely changes the experience. Targeting was precise, and each gun used in the game takes on a different recoil intensity—which can sometimes be violent when dealing with high caliber weapons."
Gizmodo: Novint Falcon Controller with Gun Attachment Reviewed (Verdict: Awesome), September 16, 2008
"Forget fragging as you know it. With the pistol grip coming dangerously close to flying out of your hands after a few quick bursts with a submachine gun, you may wonder how you got along without this level of feedback in the first place. Every weapon takes on new life, from the meager jostling of the standard pistol, to the forceful thunder of a rocket launcher's blast."
Wired: Review: Novint Falcon Gaming Controller Takes Aim On Your Mouse, September 12, 2008
"Perhaps the most interesting licensing arrangement at the show was on display at an unassuming booth in the showcase pavilion. Novint Technologies turns the virtual into solid matter with its Falcon game controller."

"Beyond the first-hand impressions, the Falcon Pistol Grip performs exceptionally… During both ferocious sprays of fire and gentle single-shot taps, the Pistol Grip was very responsive. Unlike some other pistol-style controllers, the Falcon's Pistol Grip never seemed to lag or skip pulls. Another benefit to having the buttons built into the base of the thumb rest, we never had to stop farming lead in order to throw grenades or engage other actions."
IGN: Novint Falcon Pistol Grip Hands-On, August 28, 2008
"The Falcon is one of the most bizarre and promising PC controllers ever released."

1Up: Eidos is Latest Publisher to Support Novint Falcon: Another publisher joins Valve, EA, and Codemasters in offering tactile controls, August 15, 2008
"The pistol grip improves the situation immensely with an actual trigger to pull, a sturdy and heavy feel so you can adjust for the recoil, and three thumb buttons so you can easily reload or switch weapons. I've been playing with Half-Life 2 all morning, and I have to say it's not the same thing as actually firing a gun, but it's the closest thing I've felt in gaming. "
Ars Technica: The pistol grip arrives for the Novint Falcon, August 13, 2008
"But if you’re going to buy the Falcon then Gish likely won’t be the reason. It’s more likely that games like Half-Life 2 (and Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142 and Counter-Strike Source) will draw you in, and for that, Novint has a tempting bundle coming up — for $189 you’ll be able to get the Falcon in either black or white, a pistol grip, a copy of The Orange Box which of course includes Half-Life 2, and Gish."
That Videogame Blog: Hands-on Novint Falcon, August 12, 2008
"But future video games will enable players to feel and manipulate virtual solids, fluids, tools and avatars. The Novint Falcon haptics controller is already making this promise a reality. The 3-D force feedback controller allows you to tell the difference between a pistol report and a shotgun blast, or to feel the resistance of a longbow's string as you pull back an arrow."
How Stuff Works: How Haptic Technology Works, August 12, 2008
"I have to warn you that using the Falcon will forever spoil you on using mice in first person shooters.  It's just a different level of immersion as the Falcon just doesn't provide force-feedback when you are firing a gun (that would be too easy), rather the device lets you know when you are being shot (and where it's coming from) as well as when you are bumping against a wall (helpful when you're in the midst of a tactical retreat and backing your way through a structure.  What's great about the Falcon is that these aren't over the top vibrations but rather subtle force that you feel in the controller."
Gaming Nexus: E3 2008: Novint Falcon Hands On, July 18, 2008
"We got to try out the grip on Half Life 2 and really got into the game's feel and movement much more so than when we tried out the Falcon with its default ball-like grip. The pistol shape better fit our hand which made turning and aiming much easier."
