Project Natal (for XBOX 360)

Microsoft finally took the wraps off the that rumored motion controller we'd been hearing about. Apparently the small, black device -- codenamed "Natal" -- will allow for an astoundingly wide range of actions by utilizing a group of sensors. The demo Microsoft showed off included a skateboarding game and a family playing a racing game.

The add-on will offer features such as auto sign-in for players to Xbox Live (based on complex facial recognition), and sports extremely detailed body tracking which will be able to follow the individual movements of separate limbs. A title was shown off which featured a woman interacting with a young boy on the screen (one of the company's creepier demos in recent memory.) Unfortunately for us. Everyone is still waiting for a release date from Microsoft.
