For $100, you can buy the ultimate the stocking stuffer for an iOS gamer.
It's the Moga Ace power game pad.
A game controller and backup battery made for iPods and iPhones running iOS 7. Once it snaps into a lightning connector dock, it could be use to play hundreds of games
but there's not really a complete list of games out there just yet.
You wouldn't buy this to play Angry Birds but there are several plat-former games as well as racing and sports games that take advantage of the directional sticks and action buttons.
Moga unveil the game pad this week and it'll sell it on its website and at Apple Stores.
