E3 2010: Project Natal/Kinect Cirque Event

The product has a new name and the room full of press got a night of art and confusion. Project Natal became Kinect and no matter what you think of the name, it’s going to take time to get used to. Our theory of how they got to Kinect is generating community through motion (thanks Manda and Candice!). The name will probably be explained during the press conference, but I’d like to think we nailed it. The Show The world premier of Kinect was brought to us by Cirque Du Soleil. Walking in, we knew right away we were in for some sort of experience. Press was handed a poncho that contained shoulder pads that Grace Jones would be proud of. The dancers of Cirque Du Soleil entertained from before the show starting through the end of the show. A family was perched up above and unfortunately half of the

Mario wins the Meijer 300

Mario is not only the star of the latest game from Nintendo, but also of the Meijer 300. Joey Logano won the race at the Kentucky Speedway on Saturday driving the Super Mario Galaxy 2 car. I wonder if it came with bananas to throw out the window. Joey has a history of driving game themed cars. Wonder what his favorite console really is?

Guest Article: London MCM Expo

Recently, I went to good ol’ London town to experience the London MCM Expo ( http://www.londonexpo.com/ ) for myself, and for GamingAngels.com. I had never been to an MCM Expo before, and didn’t know what to expect at all. As soon as I stepped on the Jubilee line on the London Underground however, I had a pretty good idea. There were anime and game characters everywhere on the train, and noone batted an eyelid. I love London’s diversity and the stiff upper lip that comes with it, observing strangers acting like everything was normal was amusing. I passed the Master Chief and a lot of bare bottoms, boobies and blue hair as I entered the hall, plowing straight through stalls full of nerdy goods and mountains of Pocky to the games stands. First up was Transformers: War for Cybertron. The booths were quiet first thing on a Sunday morning, so

I wanted to pick an anime that was easily accessible to me as well as most people out there, which led me to my Netflix queue. That’s how I stumbled across the Gilgamesh series! (By the way, do YOU have Netflix? If you’re an anime fan and you’re on a tight budget, like me, you should definitely look it up. It gives you access to a decent anime collection for cheap. Unfortunately, only a few can be watched instantly at the moment, like…. Gilgamesh!) The story of this anime might seem like the usual post-apocalyptic type at
