Hey folks, as people may already know, E3 started off this week, and Microsoft has already made a big announcement with a new way of playing games, known at the moment, as 'Project natal'. Project Natal is a new way to play video games, with YOU as the controller (hmmmmm, very Nintendo wii!). With full body motion capture, voice and facial recognition, Project Natal looks to be one of the big hitters when it hits store shelves. When this is, we dont actually know yet, but for the time being, check out these videos of Microsoft's unveiling, courtesy of Gametrailers.

Also, Peter Molyneux (Of fable and black and white fame, but come on, you already knew that!) was on hand to help show off Project natal, with a little taster as to what the technology could do for the games industry. Check out the little boy named Milo here.

Now it's up to Sony and Nintendo to show what they have brought to the party.
