ps3Not wanting to be overshadowed by Microsoft's announcement that Project Natal is gaining support from a number of major games manufacturers, Sony has declared that its motion controller for the PS3 console will be available early next year.

Linking up to a PlayStation Eye camera, the system allows face, voice and body movement recognition in order to control games in a completely different way.

This motion controller (which doesn't have an official name yet) is equipped with two motion sensors, three axes gyroscope and three axes accelerometer that can detect the controller's angle and movement held in the user's hand.

Logitech has today announced two new music game controllers designed for use with music games on the Nintendo Wii.

The Wireless Guitar Controller for Wii is constructed with a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and metal frets, so it both looks and feels more authentic.

It features a noise-dampening design and fret buttons, plus a touch-sensitive slider on the fret board.

That slimmer PS3 rumor from a couple of months ago has finally come to pass, with Sony announcing that a new PlayStation 3 will be released in September.

The new PS3 will feature a 120GB hard drive, Blu-ray drive, new system software (version 3.00) and BRAVIA Sync (for tying up to your Sony TV). It'll cost $299.

Sony's making a big thing of the re-branding, changing the name from PLAYSTATION 3 to PlayStation 3 (note the capitals — I've obviously been getting it wrong all these years as I've often referred to it the "new" way) and introducing a "PS3" logo to be engraved on the surface of the new console.

championship-manager-2010It seemed to work for Radiohead last year when they released their In Rainbows album on a "pay what you think it's worth" model, and now software company Eidos Interactive is looking to do the same with the latest incarnation of its Championship Manager football game.

Championship Manager 2010 for PC launches today, and can be purchased online for as little as one British penny (plus a handling fee of £2.50).

crysis

Crysis developer Crytek has threatened its home country, Germany, to leave the country if the ban on violent games isn't lifted.

"A ban on action games in Germany is concerning us because it is essentially like banning the German artists that create them," he told PC Games Germany. "If the German creative community can’t effectively participate in one of the most important cultural mediums of our future, we will be forced to relocate to other countries." "The current political discussion will deprive German talent of its place on the global game development stage, and deprive German consumers of entertainment that is considered safe and fun around the world."
