Xbox Project Natal review

Microsoft has been running ‘secret’ demonstrations of its much-talked about Xbox 360 Project Natal system in London.

The motion control and voice recognition system has been much debated since its unveiling at E3 last year but what’s the reality of the user experience as it nears launch? Is it really a game-changer or just another gimmick?

Microsoft previews new Xbox controller

Microsoft has allowed the public to get their hands on its new hands-free games controller for the first time.

The US firm showed off the "Natal" technology, designed for use with its Xbox 360 console, at the European games convention gamescom in Germany.

The controller uses a microphone combined with visual and infrared cameras to control the onscreen action.

It was first unveiled at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles in June this year, but had not been on public display until now.
