Halo Reach to use Natal peripheral?

For those of you who may not of heard---during E3 2009 Microsoft reviled project natal. Project Natal is supposed to act as a new peripheral that you plug into your xbox 360 and use as a camera to sense your movement... Doesn't sound too complicated right? Well, it is not such a simple device. This new camera or "peripheral" as many can't seem to stop saying is supposed to not only track motion but emotion as well. That's right! The camera will also be able to track your face and speech to understand your mood. This paired with its ability to sense an incredible amount of side to side movements and depth allows game developers the ability to add a whole new feel to their games. At first when I say project natal I thought it was kinda creepy but then I thought to myself that this could be a pretty sweet platform to a whole new and different type of gaming experience. Anyhow, enough with the background. You can go to http://www.xbox.com/ to learn more about the device if you choose.



One of the most interesting pieces of news that I have heard is that bungie may use Natal as a feature for the upcoming Halo reach game which will be released around a similar time to project natal. Well I am sure that since it will be one of the first games for project natal it will probably not make full use of the camera feature as it typically takes developers a few years before being able to push new technology to its limits.

Game on!

Marvel to supply content to new Sony PSP Reader

OK so there are a few different home brew applications out there which were built to enable you the ablity to read up on your favorite digital content through your Sony PSP. However, it seems that Sony will be creating a reader which will be used with this digital comic service. Currently, this will allow readers to read up on their favorite Marvel Comics while on the go. From the video below it looks like two different UIs will be available for the Sony psp 3000 and the new sony PSP go. I don't know how well this will really work just because most people typically like to have something physical in their hands while reading.... I guess that's just part of the experience of reading-- I mean how ofter have you read a book cover to cover online? Anyway the concept looks great and I like the lay out of the GUI. However, I think we will have to wait to see if this is something that will really take off or not.
