Microsoft's Offerings! Wow!

My sister is going to love this; Microsoft has announced a new version of Rockband: The Beatles!

Steven Spielberg helped sell Project Natal: Microsoft's NO CONTROLLER, full body motion capture, facial recognition, voice recognition input device for the Xbox 360 . Peter Molyneux from Lionhead Studios showed a demo a boy called "Milo". This is human/game interaction at it's best. Consoles pretty much destroyed the roleplaying genre - Natal is going to bring it back. RPGs will benefit the most from this technology and you won't have to buy an new console to use it. Natal will work with all 360s past, present and future.

To see the demo, go here and start at 150:28: http://e3.gamespot.com/press-conference/microsoft-e3/

P.S. I was given a ticket to get into a limo that would take me across the street to the Windows 7 lounge. Sweet!
