| | | The next evolution in motion-sensitive gaming — maybe
Quote:
Perhaps you’re looking at the future of hands-on gaming.
It’s called Darwin, and it’s a motion-sensitive game controller rumored to work with Microsoft’s Xbox 360, and maybe Sony’s PlayStation 3. Manufacturer Motus Games unveiled the two-part device Friday, after  over what Motus was doing with the thing during product development. Guestimates put Darwin’s market debut at a year from now.
Darwin mimics Nintendo’s Wii motion controller in function but distinguishes itself with a key technical difference: Darwin reportedly relies on sensors that orient it to magnetic north for determining location relative to the game console. (Wii’s controller works with infrared radiation.)

| | | The motion control stuff is cool for a while but then you get a bit bored of it. I have a wii in my house and I only use it with other people or when I got nothing else to do or other games to play. Force Unleashed is getting it's own wii controller though, ftw |

: 78 th | | | If Force Unleashed is a hit, I bet Lucas goes on with another iteration for the Wii. The light saber is just too perfect for the Wii, and with more and more Wii's finding their ways into living rooms these days, the payback for a hit title is going to be a shatload of cashola. Yola! |
