Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360) $4.99 There’s nothing clever about the current rash of street racing and showy driving. Well before all the pimping, before the Need for Speed Undergrounds and even before the Burnouts, we were all playing Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast. The people at Bizarre Creations learned about racing games making their successful F1 games for the PlayStation. MSR was a much more ground breaking kettle of fish, though, awarding players ‘kudos’ points for flashy driving as they raced through the streets of London Tokyo and San Francisco. It didn’t hurt that the soundtrack was written by Outrun music legend Richard Jacques either. As the Xbox eclipsed the poor, hard done by Dreamcast, it was decided that this was the ideal new home for Bizarre racing game. Two versions of the re-christened Project Gotham Racing came out for the Xbox, the second of which sported desirable Xbox Live! support. So it won’t surprise those browsing shelves filled with software for the new Xbox 360 console to see the supercar-emblazoned mush of Project Gotham 3 peeking mischievously out at them. If you’ve managed to miss the screenshots released on the internet throughout the year, take it from us that this is one beautiful, jaw-droppingly shiny and lovely videogame. Online and offline modes have been improved and expanded to allow you to tailor your racing experience. Select any one of the dreamy supercars on offer and get closer than ever to your mechanised icons. You’ll discover that every detail of the cars, down to the dashboards inside, is faithfully modelled. The cities are no less impressive, and your tour of the world takes you through photorealistic reconstructions of anywhere from New York to Tokyo. And of course there’s the good old kudos system, rewarding you at every turn for flamboyance and panache. Let’s not beat about the bush, PGR3 is the absolute must have 360 launch title and there’s just no arguing about it. |

Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360) $9.99 Project Gotham Racing 4 is the end of Bizarre Creations' involvement with the series, and the developer goes out with a bang. The first thing that deserves a mention has to be the inclusion of those speedy two wheelers. Nope, we're not talking about penny farthings. PGR4 sees the inclusion of the much-hyped motorbikes! These blighters are seriously durable on the course, and enable players to pull off some tasty wheelies and stunts. Getting them right will allow you to bank some much needed 'kudos' which can be traded in the virtual store for new gear and vehicles. Also new to the series is the new weather system. You'll need to keep an eye on conditions, because weather can change mid-race. It might not sound like a big deal, but since a bout of fog can obscure bends and put you entirely at the mercy of your opponents taillights or ice and rain could send you careening all over the place, you'd better be wary. The Project Gotham online service has also been ramped up. Now dubbed 'PGR On Demand', the service features a filesharing service that allows racers to upload photos and videos of themselves in action, making it a fuller offering than Gotham TV ever was. |

Tech Provider For Microsoft's Project Natal Revealed
PrimeSense, a chip design company based in Tel Aviv, provided the 3D sensor technology for Project Natal, which will let players control an on-screen avatar using full-body gestures like a kick, punch or jump. Microsoft has said the technology will be available for the Xbox 360 by the holiday season.
Unlike the Nintendo Wii, Project Natal doesn't require players to hold a controller to play video games. Instead it uses a small 3D camera and a technology similar to infrared to build a 3D image of the people and objects in a room, and then detect a player's movements within that scene.
"We are selling the chip for each Natal system, and we also license the reference design for the whole 3D sensor," said Inon Beracha, PrimeSense's CEO, in a telephone interview from Israel.
He wouldn't discuss the terms of his company's relationship with Microsoft, and a joint statement from the companies Wednesday provided few details.
It seems likely, however, that Microsoft will have demanded exclusive rights to use PrimeSense's technology in gaming systems, at least for a limited time, to give it a head start over other console makers.
Such deals can be exclusive for a few months to a few years, but "if there's any sweet spot, it's probably just shy of a year," said Richard Doherty, research director for The Envisioneering Group in Seaford, New York.
That doesn't mean PrimeSense's motion control technology can't be used in other, non-gaming products, however. Beracha said PrimeSense is working with makers of TVs, set-top boxes and "living room PCs," and that products from those vendors should appear late this year or early in 2011.
The technology could be used to let users scroll through cable TV channels or DVD menus by waving a hand in the air, instead of having to use a remote control, for example. That could end up being a bigger market for motion-sensing technologies than gaming systems, Doherty said.
"Very few people like remotes. They lose them, the batteries die -- that could be a dying market," he said.
PrimeSense showed its technology behind closed doors at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. Some of the demonstrations were reminiscent of "Minority Report," allowing the user to stand in front of a large screen and shuffle documents in midair with their hands.
If the deal with Microsoft is exclusive, it doesn't mean Nintendo and Sony don't have other options. There are several vendors they could partner with that are developing similar technologies, including Canesta, of Sunnyvale, California, whose investors include laptop giant Quanta Computer.
The console makers are also developing their own technologies. Sony's Move controller, for example, uses the PlayStation's Eye camera to track its movements. "I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Sony will soon be able to do a lot, or all, of what Microsoft can do with Natal," Doherty said.
Questions remain about Project Natal, Doherty said, including how many players will be able to use it at one time, and when exactly it will ship. "They've said before the holidays, but does that mean Dec. 23 or November?" he said. Microsoft will certainly try to have it on shelves in time for holiday shopping.
A Microsoft spokesman reiterated Wednesday that Project Natal will be available for "the holidays," and declined to comment on the terms of its agreement with PrimeSense.
The deal is a big win for PrimeSense, which was founded in 2005 and has 92 employees, mostly engineers based in Israel. The company plans to expand to 120 employees by the end of the year. "We're a very R&D-focused company," Beracha said.
Nintendo's Wii motion controller helped pave the way for PrimeSense's technology, he acknowledged.
"The Wii did very good things for us," he said. "It showed that a natural user interface matters."
