A gimmicky Wii-ripoff at best. Microsoft is going the Wii route again, but this time instead of copying the Mii avatar, its going for motion control. Oh boy, i cant wait to play Wii bowlin….i mean Xbox bowling, and xbox golf, and another 5000 sports games that are all the same thing. Dont forget the wii fit knockoffs that are sure to spring up. If the Wii taught me anything, its that motion control in a video game console is fun…..for a while. Then it just gets frustrating, stale and repetitive. I mean, look at the Wii. How many games are out for it that stand out? that just make you jump up and yell “I HAVE TO BUY A WII RIGHT NOW FOR THIS GAME”. I cant think of any, because motion control just isnt feasable when it comes to replayability at all. This is just the Wii with better graphics.

Hi.

To be completely fair, there is nothing yet confirmed regarding the XBOX360 NATAL, but if it is true that there is no controller at all, and if I really will be throwing “mawashi gery” kicks in Ryu’s face, then I’m sorry, I’m gonna have to throw confetti in the air and run around in little circles yelling I HAVE TO BUY THIS GAME.

of course, a gamer is a curious lazy creature, we all got excited when we heard about Wii motion control, or the motion sensor in the iphone, but it quickly got old and frustrating because of all of that physical effort.

anyway, if Microsoft decides to challenge Nintendo for this last piece of the market, then Nintendo is so done for, it will soon be buried right next to Sega, people have even started to forget that sega was once one of the biggest game consoles, I think they were the first ones to introduce the game controller as we know it today ( or was it Nintendo?) the point is that it doesn’t matter who created which technology first, what really matters is who can make better use of it, and that will not be Wii if they keep on going with their stupid games without any improvements

Tell me what you're thinking...
