Now that sony have realeaed thier new eye toy thingy, and the huge increase in dance mats (*shudders at the thought) people have started to game gaming away from the control pad.

Games like shooting time crisis and vampire night that use a gun involve a huge new aspect of skill need to play the games.

Unfit or less energetis people have no chance getting as high a score as breakdancing maniacs on dance games and one eye'd long sighted people can't win againt thoughs super eagle eye people on shooting games.

If games contiune to evolve into a more energetic and athletic direction then people are gonna get left behind. Just imagine in years to come where we'll have holographic rooms where instaed of just shooting a gun you are also punchinhg the bajesus into some monster. Or insted of jumping up and down infornt of your tv you have motion senser making sure that ervy single muscle in your body is beig used correctly.

I think new ideas and technology are welcomed but i also think that game designer should think about the people who can't play these games.

Thats all i have to say.

Other developers can support it. Now there's no reason why you can't - just for example - have your own face mapped onto that of in-game characters.

Just think - Vice City where you really ARE Tommy Vercetti.

I think it's a pretty cool peripheral. It'll get more people into gaming which can't be a bad thing, can it?

*looks around at the state of games today*

Ok, yes. It can be a bad thing. But it's a good concept.

A few people are saying it doesn't look very good. The games may be simple, but at least it's an innovative idea.

Of course, had Nintendo invented it, it would probably be wonderful, revolutionary and the next Big Thing in home console gaming. Just like the analogue stick that they never invented?

I don't think it looks very good but quiet a few people are saying it's a great idea. Just looks like an even more embaressing dance map (*shudders again).

I can do that for real and clean the windows at the same time.
