Samsung's Galaxy View is a weird device, but Samsung isn't giving up on the jumbo tablet just because no one knows what the hell to do with it. Okay, how about this: you can play games on it with the aid of a gamepad app on your phone. Cool? Oh, but the app only works on Samsung phones. Meet the S Console Gamepad app.

The app comes with various gamepad templates for different game types like racing and RPG. The layouts are fully customizable so you can move buttons around as well. I don't see any of them being very usable as a gamepad, though. It's not easy to hit the right button on a touchscreen unless you're looking at it. I guess you could use this if you really want to play a game on your Galaxy View and don't have a Bluetooth controller handy, but how likely is that?

Samsung says over 100 games are optimized for the Galaxy View and S Console Gamepad, but neglects to say what they are. The app is free, and again, it only works on Samsung phones.
