Welcome to the new in thing in gaming; motion oriented gaming. gaming that transcends barriers and limitations by bringing the user one step closer to actual 1 to 1 interactivity with their video game. personally i agree that this idea and direction that video games have taken is a good idea; i just don't support the other half of the coin that accompanies it of companies pushing out lame game titles that use this technology as seen in the above video of tossing Frisbees and flying as if holding a paper plane in ones hand. It's such things that irk my soul so as something with this much promise that many hardcore gamers having been looking forward to since the days of the Nintendo's Power Glove and Powerpad. Not that i expect everyone to know what i'm referring to but alas Google is your friend so all i will do is showcase a picture or two to job your memory for the actual gamers that might have come across these:
Power Glove

Now for hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike I can loosely affirm that playing Wii sport fitness or Zumba Fitness on PS3 or trying on different outfits on XBOX didn't exactly rank high on our priority list for main stream game releases or uses for motion gaming hardware. Speaking for myself i have never been a fan of the new generation of gaming catered to mainstream game audiences but not withstanding that i have to actually give everything a fair try. After doing such i can safely say that my gaming enjoyment for motion based gaming seems to go only as far as DJ Hero which i must say is a blast especially with a crowd boosting you and riding the vibe. Sad to say that there will be no more music based games from Activision the leading creators in this genre of gaming; R.I.P. Guitar Hero, DJ Hero and True Crimes; you will all be sorely missed.
Where are the games? The FPS's (First Person Shooters), the fighting games, hell even a dancing motion game would have made more sense to me as better use of the technology. Thankfully Sony has seemingly heard the cry of many devout gamers and is putting more work behind releasing games of this nature that we can look forward to as the technology becomes more grounded in the gaming world and fine tuned to perfection. The day of reckoning where players will be able to physically throw a hadouken or participate in a street brawl; hell even the porn industry could gain a big boost from this.
