A lot. We should start one on each game that we know is coming out on 3DS!

Yes, but this could be the start of something. I mean, Valve does want Steam to be everywhere - this is much bigger than a simple foot-in-the-door.

Really, just to know that Valve is actually looking at the PS3 without the goal of making wise-cracks is big enough for me.

Well, both Microsoft and Sony are both shamelessly copying Nintendo with motion gameplay. Maybe thats why nobody was impressed. After all Nintendo has been doing this since 2006, so there using regurgitated ideas with updated tech wow we!

At least the Kinect is different and shows some actual potential, Sony doesn't even seem to be trying to cover up the fact that they're copying Nintendo at this point.

Panel 3 is highly related.

The no controller concept is pretty cool.
They're not copying the Wii they are improving it.

I also want to see the achievements on that fitness game.

You are the Biggest Loser! GS:25
Complete 1 workout.
Gyms? F$%# gyms! In your own home you wont get weird looks for drinking Mountain Dew while working out.


Finish the Fight! Not your obesity. GS:15

Quit in middle of workout and load up Halo 3.
There's nothing like tea bagging kids to get your self esteem up.


You Broke The System! GS: 25
Confuse Kinect by being so large the game mistakes you for room furniture.

You could always use your lazy boy as player 2!


Trust me you're not the first one with the idea.... GS:5
Workout in the nude.

Dude, watch my avatar do a helicopter!

Wait, you took us seriously? GS:100
Actually lose 50 pounds using this game.
Here's our number 18005553847 call us. You're going to be bigger the the subway guy, or i mean.. smaller. W.E prepare to be marketed!

Yea, but they're really only doing it because of the massive success of the Wii. I wouldn't say they're copying off the Wii, but rather they saw how good it was doing and wanted to copy it, but needed to think of something more "original" so that fanboys have an argument against that.

So they thought about it and decided to slightly copy the eyetoy with Wii in mind.

I wouldn't even say they're improving it because it probably won't work very well. Don't get me wrong, I've never used it, but judging by E3 last year, it didn't look to good.

It probably will fail in rooms with little light (like my game room, and a lot of home theaters). Look at last year's E3, and when they were showing off the avatar movement thing the avatar kept twisting her head backwards and stuff.

It's using infrared, so lightness of the room shouldn't matter.
