At E3 2009, Microsoft unveiled the Xbox 360 peripheral code named Project Natal. This system introduced full motion tracking capabilities — all without a controller. Microsoft hopes to outdo what Nintendo accomplished with the Nintendo Wii, the first home console capable of tracking gestures released on the home market. But while Nintendo included the use of Wii controllers to accomplish this, the Xbox 360 seeks to use a specially designed 3d tracking camera that can seek depth and position. Yes. It can sense 3d space. Furthermore, the game can track up to 4 players at once. In addition, the player can issue vocal commands. One of the most astounding games previewed at E3 gave a demo of how this works. This game, Milo and Kate, allowed a user to communicate directly with a digital child and carry on conversations. The biggest surprise? Milo can read your facial expressions.
Taking DJ Hero Out for a Spin

USA Today recently published a short review of the much anticipated DJ Hero. Much like the rest of the gaming world, the author Mike Snider found the game captivating and fun, but still challenging enough to hold a player’s attention. Snider was thrilled with variety of tracks available (the game features 93 song mixes) and the complex, but easy to learn “turntables” controller. With such great reviews popping up on the web and in print, it looks like DJ Hero is poised to become a “must have” for music game lovers despite it’s somewhat hefty price tag (the standard game and controller retails for $120 and a Renegade version complete with a carrying case that transforms into a stand for the “turntables” is available for $200).
Rockband Beatles

Rockband, the popular alternative to the Guitar Hero series which was first to incorporate a microphone and drums along with just the standard guitar, is now releasing a new version themed around the Beatles. Many fans of Rockband and Rockband 2 are looking forward to the new content provided by this sequel, but there is a very large possibility that this game will bring a whole new age group to the genre, as older generation’s are attracted by the Beatle’s title. The game’s intuitive control system, as well as the many levels of difficulty will also make the transition for those who are not typically gamers to jump right in and enjoy classics such as Yellow Submarine.
