The E3 Expo quickly lived up to all the hype that surrounds this yearly event. Microsoft’s Project Natal officially died and was reborn as Kinect, a device that uses motion capture technology to literally put the player into the game. Using this technology, a player has to simply move their hands, lean side to side, or jump to have their actions reflected in game.  

Sony was not to be left behind, as they also strode into the field of motion technology with a set of wands that are very reminiscent of the Nintendo Wii. It is clear there will not be a lack of games using motion capture technology. Ubisoft has many games in the works that will take advantage of this technology. Child of Eden puts a player in a music-driven world of colorful cube creations where they will fly around on a fixed path while trying to destroy an odd assortment of enemies. Ubisoft’s most ambitious title focused on complex choreography, in Michael Jackson, players will be eased into the complex and amazing moves of the late king of pop.
