As i have been saying throughout the plus xp E3 2009 coverage that i was gonna do a post on project Natal and what this amazing thing is coming to Xbox 360.

When I first heard about this new thing that Xbox was bringing out I thought and i quote “oh great another wii motion sensor clone whoopy doo. Microsoft at it again not coming up with their own ideas so stealing and adapting others” (That wasn’t a dig at the avatars or anything
.)
But then I thought during E3 i would give this device one chance to wow me at what it could do. I then saw this video:

After looking at that it grabbed my attention a little bit more. This was not just a sensor bar. I mean i have always been sceptical till now. Wouldn’t you when you have seen images all over the net such as this?

Thanks Goodness This Isn't Getting Made
So enough of what it isn’t. More about what Natal is. From the video you ca see its got Motion sensors, camera, voice recognition all sorts. This i the Swiss army knife of controllerless video gaming.
But the one thing that totally swayed me over was Lion Head’s new Project for Natal. Dubbed Milo this actually had me stunned and amazed. If you have been following plus xp over E3 you will know what Milo is. If you don’t or just want to watch the video again, grab you mouse and click This Link! (scroll down till about the middle of the post).
So with project Milo coming this pretty much swayed it for me. Project natal is going to be amazing and i cannot wait to get my hands on it.
So what else has natal got for us? Let a nice E3 stage demo fill you in

I seriously want to get my hands on this now. I hope this has informed you of what this new 360 gadget can do, as for release date sadly nothing has been announced yet but i will expect sometime Q4 next year/ Q1 2011. But that’s just my judgement.
Garv!
