As an avid video game player I enjoy being able to sit down and relax by playing a good game like Mass Effect or Bioshock. But it looks like video game designers are trying to incorporate exercise into my gaming regimen.
Project Natal is the newest motion sensitive controller from Microsoft. It's designed to sense movement and then use those movements to play games like the ones shone one the IGN site.
I really don't mind the idea of getting gamers off the couch every once and a while (I know I could use a trip to the gym every now and then) but the whole motion sensitive idea is starting to look like a marketing ploy.
In the beginning Nintendo had the Wii, which was revolutionary for its time. Now with the Natal coming out ,and Sony has a motion controller in the works, it seems like everyone is jumping on the motion control bandwagon.
Personally I'll stick to a joystick and button pad.
