Microsoft E3 highlights

Microsoft had a few massive things to say, the main thing being Project Natal, a complete motion and voice capture system that lets you play games and interact without a controller. The trailer showed driving games, skating, quiz games using hands as buzzers, facial capture, voice recognition and even the ability to scan objects into the game.
