2010 is off to a GREAT START !! the first week of the new year has two of the year’s biggest releases: Bayonetta & Darksiders.

Platinum Games are proud to introduce to the world beautiful Bayonetta, a witch who awakens after a long 500 year slumber to find herself with no memory of who she is, stuck in fictional European city of which she has no clue how she got there. Bayonetta is due out to in Australia on the 6th. As mentioned previously Bayonetta has a very cool collectors edition entitled The Climax Edition, which comes with a replica pistol from the game and an art book.

THQ’s Darksiders on the other hand is a bit on the darker side and is set on Earth 100 years after the Apocalypse where the protagonist War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, sets off to find out why the destruction was brought forward. Gameplay was developed by Vigil Games, and the ever popular comic book artist Joe Madureira is responsible for the game’s beautifully grotesque art direction. Keep an eye out for Darksiders when it releases this Thursday.

If you haven’t already done so. It’s not to late to pre-order your copies now. Make your way over to your local EBGAMES and pre-order both today. I have and I can’t wait to play them.

Now I know we’ve just started a new year but that shouldn’t stop us from already preparing for Halloween.

A fan of Capsule Computers pointed out these really cool Capcom Street Fighter costumes available online from Halloween Express. I have included a link to all of the Street Fighter costumes they have available (check out the images below).

The Akuma one is new to me. Normally we only see Ken, Ryu and the amazingly HOT Chun-Li. But the Akuma one is one I’d consider buying as it looks like it comes with the Flaming red hair.

Check them out and the Halloween Express for many other Halloween idea’s they have a Huge range of other outfits/costumes.

Project Natal meet EMG Sensor Technology

Xbox 360

January 4, 2010

We all know about Project Natal right ?? The amazing camera motion capture control style system that everyone go so excited about in 2009. Well looks like Microsoft are 1up’ing themselves.

Microsoft Research has patented an EMG technology that will sense a person’s hand motion down to the smallest gesture (imagine being able to pick your nose in a video game and flick.. ok ok i’ll shut up)

The Video below explains everything you need to know, in a nutshell you put little wire connectors on your arm and they scan your muscle movement in your hand and then transfer the data to whatever you are trying to control.

It’s still a long way away before we can all play with this in the comfort of our own living rooms, but it looks very promising. Microsoft is also developing a wireless EMG sensor module that can be placed over the entire body. Now imagine the endless possibilities with a total EMG suit. Sounds very futuristic !! Everyone suiting up for a game of HALO !! BAGS being MASTERCHIEF !! 😉

Enjoy the video let us know what you think of it.

Mistwalker seems to hard at work on a few projects as noted by Hironobu Sakaguchi-san, creator of Final Fantasy and now founder of Misterwalker released a Happy New Year post on his Mistwalker column stating that they are working on a new blockbuster project and also a iphone game as well.

I’m putting my heart and soul into this production. I’m taking a full swing and making this the best project.
