Microsoft E3: Milo Demo = AMAZING




Natal is Microsoft's new camera/motion tracking device and Peter Molyneux king of the overpromising game concept is at it again with a demo supposedly called "Milo" of a 'game?' where you interact in all sorts of different ways with synthetic character and his world via the motion camera. AWESOME!!! (pics cribbed from Kotaku and/or Joystiq)

LEFT FOR DEAD 2: A Director AI that is worth a Damn?




Looks like Valve was listening to our complaints and is pumping (read: too soon) out a sequel that will be visually identically but functionally improved version of Left 4 Dead. What am I most excited about? Branching paths! This will be a new feature of the '2.0' AI director. This is one of the things I suggested in my former post on the game and I think if they really push it hard (read: very different paths) it will add a lot to the game.

Also there will be melee weapons...which are fun in Zombie games :)
