Ladies and Gentlemen, the WiiBox

Well, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Nintendo’s Wii should feel real good right about now.  The Microsoft is planning to release something called “Project Natal” which looks eerily similar to the Wii’s motion sensor bar.  How effective it is won’t be known until its release later this year.  Don’t believe me? Take a look.

A gaming laptop

Dell is catering to the gaming demographic with its M11X gaming laptop.  The 11.6 inch high def screen will be able to play games such as “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″ at 30 frames per second.  A built-in webcam and a SIM card for wireless access completes the package.  The only thing missing is an optical drive, but Dell says that should be offered as an add-on.  Total price for this portable gaming behemoth: less than $1000.  I can’t wait.

I origianlly got this story from MSNBC.com.

Ever go old school with the games?

I downloaded an old school Hulk Hogan wrestling game from the Blackberry application world a few weeks ago and I think I’ve destroyed my battery because I’ve been playing it so much lately. It’s a few old school game that has sub par graphics and very little action but it reminds me of a game I used to play when I was very young and it’s really quite fun. It won;’t be long before people are getting into HD multi-player gaming on their mobile phones so I’m going to enjoy my old beta style games while they are still cool!
