The Natal seems to promise a lot.  But first and foremost it promises to make you look like a super aggressive retard while playing.  Be prepared to explain to the cops that you were just playing a video game.  You remember when you taught your mom to play Super Mario Bros and she would jerk the controller into the air to make him jump higher?  Well that’ll work now–so that’s cool.

I have a hard time believing that the sensors will work well enough for precision.  I think like the wii, it may become a fad.  It’ll be profitable but the type of games that will be developed won’t be in a serious gamer’s collection other than for when guests come over ie Wii Fit Tennis etc.

On the other spasming hand, if pulled off correctly we could have some amazing innovations. When Virtual reality was first mentioned as gamers our fantasies were much further ahead that the games.  We imagined other worldly landscapes to explore, a sandbox of breaking shit fighting off mythical and zombie hordes alike.   What we got was 30lbs of Virtual Boy.  I hope you like red.  This could finally be a way to succeed where many have failed–just do us a favor and invent a quality visor monitor so that we don’t have to watch each other flail like a dying porpoise on the deck of a ship.  When the first co-op dungeon delving hack and slash game comes out for the Natal I may shit a 20-sided die the size of a brick.  I’m very skeptical but very hopeful of where we’re headed.  Plus I think this is just the kind of spark that it would take to get the adult toy industry into video game development.

Here’s a video demonstration with Jimmy Fallen(I’m sorry the orange jumpsuits made me link it) in it.  I hope you don’t have to be in Beastie Boys Jumpsuits in order play the thing.  I’d say for the statistic guys, you’re going to look like a fifty percent bigger jackass than you do playing a Wii.
