If you haven't heard of it yet, Project Natal is the new motion control/facial recognition/voice recognition/etc... thing Microsoft demoed at E3. By and large, it's had glowing reviews.

Poll time!

It looks like a fun toy, much like the Wii balance board.

PS. There's no option for me in your poll.

It remains to be see the kinds of games this will produce and if they will be anything I or any of you would want to spend money on to play.

Yeah, no option for me either.
It looks okay. Much like the wii's motion detection there might be a few games that really use the technology for it's full potential but there will be many games that just use it as a cheap gimick and implement it poorly.

Man that took me a while to get.

Oh you mean this?

What's interesting is while it seems to be a real breakthrough in motion detection it's actually moving further and further away from a real tactile experience. I can't say that playing a driving game using "air pedals" sounds very appealing to me although I'm sure there are plenty of other games that would be a lot of fun.

icky

Agreed. It's cool, but not better. Someone smart will surely come up with a game to go with the technology.

For that Ricochet game, all you need is a piece of opaque tape (duct, electrical, etc) and you will win.
