Engaget’s Playstation Move Video Makes Me Excited! [Add a comment]
Jill
March 24, 2010
This video from the Engaget Show really makes me do a double take on the type of fun we could have with PS3′s Move. As previously thought, the PS3 Move controller just looks like a fancy Wii-mote with a colorful ball on the top. Now getting a real and genuine look at it from this Engaget video, I’m really starting to get excited! The controller displayed on the TV is transformed by the user into fun objects such as a sword or a mallet and used for gameplay. It reminds me of animated meets live-action movies, kind of like a ‘Who Framed Rodger Rabbit,’ only staring yourself!
What would YOU transform your remote into?
I think I’d want King Triton’s Trident from Kingdom Hearts and use it to defeat my foes! Or use it as a fork to feed a monster friend! :o)
Nintendo 3DS Coming Soon(ish?) [1 comment]

You may remember our post awhile back about the Nintendo DS with motion tracking:
Welp, now it has been officially announced that Nintendo will be releasing the Nintendo 3DS (a 3-D handheld console without the need for 3-D glasses) before the end of March 2011 and after June of 2010. Wow. REEEAL specific! Way to narrow it down there guys!
I can’t wait for it. It looks amazing!

Enter the Matrix! Could the ‘VirtuSphere’ be the future of gaming? [5 comments]
Jill

Screw Project Natal, Playstation ‘Move’ and the stupid Wii-mote tracking systems, I WANT ONE OF THESE IN MY LIVING ROOM!
This over-sized beehive ball is called the ‘VirtuSphere.’ This kind of technology enables players to step out of reality and into a virtual 3-D gaming world. The VirtuSphere tracks you’re body’s movement using a wireless head-tracking camera visor worn over your eyes, as well as a light gun with peripherial tracking. The sphere enables users to actually walk as their character in the game and detects the players’ path of direction while playing.
Pretty neato! Maybe I can use this to start my training as a SECRET ASSASSIN!

LETS ALL GO TO DISNEYWORLD!
(Click on the picture to make it larger)
To promote Disney’s new movie ‘Tron Legacy,’ they have turned their Park monorails into Tron light cycles.
“The transformed trains will be visible on the Epcot monorail line as early as this month. And if you look close, you’ll notice that the design of the futuristic motorcycle-like vehicles from the upcoming film Tron: Legacy also includes walls of trailing colored light.” – Disney
Thanks to Jonathan and SciFiGeeks who are just as excited for this movie as we are!

On March 30th, Modern Warfare 2 fans will be able to purchase a new MW2 map pack on XBL to cure their case of ‘mapathy.‘ What is mapathy you ask?
The first two map packs for Modern Warfare 2 will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 & for only a month. PS3 and PC players should expect the first map pack at the end of April or in early May.

New Trailer For Tron Legacy Will Give You Goosebumps [Add a comment]
Jill
If the new Tron Legacy trailer doesn’t give you goosebumps, you might be a robot.
If you are a die-hard fan of the original Tron, you may be critical and less than optimistic on the new Tron Legacy film that’s coming out. However, if you’re someone like me who wasn’t totally in love with the original, you can only have high hopes thats it’s going to be as good as it looks in the trailer!
Regardless of what kind of fan you are, die-hard or not at all, nobody can deny the awesomeness of Jeff Bridges, along with the incredible special effects & soundtrack this movie is set to have.
Take a look at the original Tron (1982) in comparison to Tron Legacy (2010)
I’m so excited for it to come out at the end of this year!
The Future Is Here and it Brings JET PACKS! [4 comments]

You guys, I almost peed my pants when I saw the video of this thing flying. JET PACKS! SERIOUSLY! And only $90,000. I don’t need a house or car, I’ll live in the sky.
Take a look at the site here.
And it gets better: You can be a Test Pilot! If only I could get to New Zealand and have (what I assume will be) a large amount of money.
My only concern about this model: Where do I put my groceries after a quick flight to the store?
