First Project Natal Games Detailed by LA Times

The sexy Alex Pham of The LA Times has details on a handful of Project Natal launch games that will be show at E3 2010. Here’s a brief synopsis:

River Rush: Steering a virtual raft past waterfalls, rocks and other obstacles requires lots of jumping and leaning.

Ricochet: Players use their arms, legs, feet and head to block a frantic barrage of soccer-sized balls.

Living Statue: This game lets players record their avatars dancing and singing karaoke-style, then e-mail the video masterpiece to their friends.

Obstacle Course: Players pull, dodge and jump their way through a series of levels resembling what you would find at summer camp, sans the mosquitoes.

Pham has much more information on these games, so be sure to check out her article if you’re remotely interested in Microsoft’s motion-control titles for Xbox 360. Additionally, she wrote that there will be “about a dozen” more Natal games shown by Microsoft next week.

I know that most of you guys and dolls are motion control haters, but I still want to hear what you think of these games. Anything on the list sound fun to you?

  1. 1. Sounds like a bunch of shovelware bullshit from MS.

    2. Those guys look like retards

    3. See number 1 again

    4. This thing will never be taken seriously by ppl who want to be immersed in a game, but by those who want to simply interact for 15 mins only.

    5. Reference 1 and 2 again.

  2. The "e-mail the video masterpiece to their friends" has very big implications. That indicates the ability to email from Live. (Something never done before)

  3. @Sandrock323 Great observation. I'm curious to see how Microsoft expands Xbox Live as a social networking platform that integrates Natal and Windows Phone 7.

  5. Obstacle Course makes me think of Nick Arcade Game Show (please tell me someone else remembers this).

  6. @Ray

    I think Live is going to play a very big part of their E3 presser this year. Earlier this year they shut down the original Xbox Live so that they could expand the current Live. Nothing has changed since then, so we know they have something up their sleeve.

  7. AH yes. Nick Arcade. That one was fun. What was the show where the person who won would always get a NeoGeo? Was it the same one?

  8. Once again SG hit it right on the button lol. I really hope the other games are much better than these lame turds. Come on a fake obstacle course! River rafting! Natal is getting lamer the more I learn about.

  9. @smartguy

    I think you are right. They always gave them some kind of video game stuff.
