    Microsoft's handsfree games controller to launch this year

    Microsoft launches Project Natal and new games for Xbox
    Project Natal will go on sale in November 2010, Microsoft has announced.

    The system allows users to play games controlled by body movements and speech rather than a handheld device.

    Visitors to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, also heard that Natal will work on all existing Xbox 360 consoles.

    Worth a look, if not a purchase.

    Its not really a clone.

    The Wii is based on you holding a controller or two.

    This is about using image analysis. This will change the way you input, rather than been about shakes, it will be about movements.

    So basically you know the dancing game in Rayman Raving Rabbids, it will involve moving your arms in patterns now, rather than just shaking them up or down......
