Microsoft to launch project Natal and new games for Xbox

Microsoft launches project Natal and new games for the Xbox. Project Natal will go on sale in November 2010. The system allows for users to use body movements to play games rather than hand held devices. Natal has body gesturing systems that allow the game to sense voice commands and players body movements, relying on cameras, sensors, microphones and software to understand players, voice, waves, kicks etc.


Alongside this Microsoft has also announced that the Xbox game Halo will be out in the autumn. Saying thay would like to release 1,000 games over the next three years. 


The game room will be new for users and will allow them to purchase classic video games like Atari, Sub Hunt, Star raiders and Activision for the 70's and 80's. 


It will also introduce a new genre of games, "the psychological action thriller," with a game called "Alan Wake" that tells the story of a mystery writer who gets trapped in his own novels. "Think 'Lost,' written by Stephen King and directed by David Lynch," Bach said.
