REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Microsoft Research Team Shows Off Crazy New Wrist-Mounted Controller

Posted on Tuesday, October 9 @ 15:28:06 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Get Microsoft Silverlight

If Kinect isn't quite accurate enough for you, perhaps Microsoft's new wrist-mounted invention, dubbed "Digits" will be. Some of the genius minds over at Microsoft Research have crafted a device that offers "freehand 3D computer interaction without gloves".

You can see the contraption in action via the video above. "Digits, a wrist-worn gloveless sensor developed by Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK, enables 3D computer interaction in any environment and is practical beyond computer gaming," the research group explains.

While I'm not particularly fond of the idea of having to wear a wristband of sorts, I must say, the tech does look remarkably impressive. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft plans to use this tech (if at all) in their next iteration of motion control. What do you think of the device and its applications within the realm of gaming? Let us know in the comments below.

    Unless you are playing Saint's Row, in which case waving a ***** is acceptable behaviour.

    They say gloveless like that's something that was really holding back the finger-movement-based-motion-control industry. I'd much rather wear a glove than a giant box on my wrist. It seems like they're trying to solve problems that don't exist.

    This is an incredible piece of technology. I could see this replacing the mouse as the primary interactive device in a decade or so. Obviously the hardware will become smaller and more stylized. The UI possibilities alone are mindboggling, let alone what could be done with games. Imagine playing Dishonored, and making a different hand gesture for each spell, instead of selecting from a menu.

    Get ready everyone, the singularity is coming!

    Well, this is an improvement, but I like the Wii's usage of an analog stick.
