I’m really in two minds about this and Natal… but then when the Wii was first announced and you could see the Wiimotes for the first time it just screamed fad!, but once you do a little bowling or tennis is all sort of made sense… It was so new it just seemed wrong, but with time became commonplace.

On one hand, it might be cool to have true motion tracking, and I’m sure there could be some good uses for it – throwing grenades/punches, light sabres, manipulating object on screen – that sort of thing. But on the other hand, it really does look like some freakish plastic ice-cream or over-sized roll-on deodorant, and I’m not sure I want to play Fight Night Round 5 flailing my arms and dripping with sweat…

So the Sony device has buttons while the Natal is button free – and I can definitely see positives and negatives for both systems – but as to which will be the best, and which if any, I’ll really want to use, I genuinely have no idea until I can give them both a shot. And that assumes that the price is right… What do you reckon?
