Project Natal for the XBox 360 seems to be taking the idea of the Wii remote and improving it by using a camera rather than a controller. Will it work? I don’t know. Holding your arms upright for long periods to steer a car using an invisible steering wheel could quickly get tiring. I guess I could envision it replacing a mouse interface on consoles, enabling RTS games to work better than they ever have by creating a Minority Report kind of interface. Also, maybe some kind of dance game that uses your whole body rather than just the dance pad.<\/div>\n

Mario Galaxy 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Hooray! This is actually awesome. I loved Mario Galaxy, and I welcome more of the same. This game adds Yoshi, and Yoshi gets his own freaky power-ups to match Mario’s freaky power-ups.<\/div>\n

The Last Guardian<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
We’ve known for a while that Team Ico, who developed Ico<\/em>, and then Shadow of the Colossus<\/em>, has been working on another game. Today we found out that the game is The Last Guardian<\/em>. It features stealth gameplay, which excited me quite a bit. There’s also some weird feline dragon thing.<\/div>\n

Left 4 Dead 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
In true Valve style, this game seems less a true sequel and more of an expansion on the original. Which is not a bad thing. New characters, new setting in New Orleans, and five new level maps. I wouldn’t be shocked to see new infected appear at some point.<\/div>\n

DSi photo sharing to Facebook<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
This fall, you’ll be able to share photos from your DSi directly to Facebook. Maybe no big deal to some people, but I’ve never owned a phone that had this capability. To me, it’s the future. There’s also a Facebook connect for XBox 360, but since I don’t own one, I find it to be no biggie.<\/div>\n

I know there are things that I missed, but these were the things I saw that interested me the most.\u00a0<\/div>\n
