| | Here’s Kinect’s First ‘Official” TV Ad | 
Geoffrey Tim - October 21st, 2010 | All those pretty terrible ads you’ve seen on the internet for Microsoft’s controler-less motion-sensing doohickey? Those were incomplete! Unfinished advertisements! This is the first “official†one, and as expected, features all sorts of people jumping about like sillies not using controllers. Kinectimals, Dance Central and Kinect Sports seem to be the games on show, although it’s hard ... [»] |

| Watch Kinect Fail to Detect Skinny Asian Models | 
Geoffrey Tim - August 2nd, 2010 | With Kinect, Microsoft’s controllerless motion-sensing camera system is just 3 months away from general release, you’d expect it to works pretty much flawlessly. At a very recent event in Hong Kong, Microsoft held a Kinect demonstration showcasing the system’s capabilities. They employed two skimpily dressed models to show off some of the system’s sports oriented titles. This is where it kinda falls ... [»] |

Geoffrey Tim - May 11th, 2010 | Microsoft’s controlerless waggle camera has been in the new quite a bit lately. While we’ve not actually seen much in the way of actual games for the enigmatic combination of cameras, microphone and – apparently – magic*, we do know when it’ll be available. According to Syed Bilal Tariq, Microsoft’s marketing manager for the Saudi Region, the thing’ll hit ... [»] |

| Dude Creates Ghetto Wii-Mote Gun Controller | 
Nick de Bruyne - February 26th, 2010 | Besides being a generation behind in terms of hardware, the Nintendo Wii, complete with motion controllers and all, should be at the forefront of console shooters.
In reality, it just isn't. While there have been a few attempts at the genre on the Wii, none have gone so far as to really stand ... [»] |

Nick de Bruyne - May 18th, 2009 | As most of you know, there is a lot of talk going around about the new motion device that Microsoft is going to unveil at E3, this after they said that it would change the way that we think about gaming, and that babies would be illness free for the rest of eternity.
The thing is that Microsoft bought the company 3DV that is developing the device, and we just happen to have found a video of 3DV showing off a very similar ... [»] |

| Sony Also have New Motion Control in the Works? | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 4th, 2009 | Motion control, while used before, is a prominent feature this generation. Nintendo’s emphasis on motion control and their wholesale ingurgitation of the casual market has meant that its competitors (whether they’d like to brand themselves as such or not) have reason to believe they have to follow suit. Rumours of Microsoft incorporating motion controls in the 360 have been circulating for years.Sony’s PS3 of course already has rudimentary motion control – but reports from the inner sanctums of the internet indicate that Sony bigwigs may feel that its half-arsed waggle just isn’t enough. Seems that details of an LED-based system of motion control are surfacing and that if the internet ninjas are correct, will be demonstrated at this year’s E3.I’m still of the opinion that motion control is this generation’s white elephant – It’s applied usefulness is still out ...

| Xbox 360 getting Motion Sensing Bar | 
Gavin Mannion - May 2nd, 2009 | I just stumbled across this on Engadget and if it’s true this would obviously be Microsoft’s big announcement for E3 this year. According to an anonymous source the white bar above is Microsoft’s new sensor bar however it doesn’t detect a controller like the Wii sensor bar but rather detects full body movement. Nothing to exciting you say? Well it can apparently detect movements as small as a pinch as well as detecting grabbing, scrolling or your typical fighting movements. We ... [»] |

| What ever happened to the Newton? | 
Gavin Mannion - March 26th, 2009 | If you recall about a year ago the biggest news doing the rounds was the hugely anticipated Newton motion controller for the Xbox 360. The hype was so big at one stage that it was a virtual certainty that we would be seeing Newton at E3 in 2008… Well E3 came and went and no motion controller for ... [»] |
