Rodriguez and Kennedy play Xbox Natal

Saturday June 27, 2009
Paul Rodriguez and Terry Kennedy playing XboxIf you have an Xbox 360, you might already know about Project Natal. It looks huge. Science fiction huge. It's a new way to play, with no controller at all, complete with voice and face recognition. Yeah. Coming out next year or so...

Well, at E3, a huge video game conference that just happened, Paul Rodriguez and Terry Kennedy got to check it out! Ha ha! There's my link to to get to tell you about it! These two skaters were among the first to try out the technology, and it looks like they had a lot of fun with it. Check out this video on YouTube.

If you've seen this video, or other Natal videos, leave a comment here are what you think! In the Project Natal announcement video, they show a kid hold his skateboard up to the TV, and it scans in the graphics on his board, and then he's playing a skateboarding game where he is just jumping and stuff, without even using a controller like the Tony Hawk RIDE controller.

What do you think about all of this? Is it really going to be this cool? Lame? Boring? Impossible? Sweet? Leave a comment!
