E3 is on at the moment. It’s a big games show which us gamers get to have new technologies and games banded about and then told we can’t have it for another 6-12 months. I keep a bit of an eye on it for new consoles and what is coming out there.
Nintendo have set the bar high with their Wii console. I have heard many reports that even parents of 60+ are taking up the Wii-mote and getting on the race tracks/platform games/baseball etc. I’ve been mainly wondering though, what the competition will do, ‘cos they was always gonna copy this little hum dinger, even if it killed them.
First on the block is Microsoft’s Project Natal, where they have decided to completely take away the controls and allow you to wave about blindly as you try to beat Asteroth or some such back guy. Anyway, check out the video. My question is, will it work properly? Or will there be holes? In any case, I’m happy with my Wii and the original games. It’s just always good to see what the competition is up to. Let’s see what Sony do now.
