Reactions: Get several days worth of news, all for the price of one!
Yup, I’m totally doing this. I hate that I’m doing this, my stupid real life has been interfering with my fantasy game journalist life this past week, so I need to get caught up some how. Just click your links and be quiet!

Reactions: Natal pricing, premium PSN leaked?
It’s that time of year again! Time for wildly speculative E3 rumors to pop up for weeks leading up to the show, with some sure to be true and others to fade into oblivion. I always feel bad about reporting on news that isn’t actually news, like when a Swedish retailer listed Microsoft’s Project Natal at a $200 price point before Microsoft quickly shot the rumor down without providing any information of their own. Common sense would indicate that Natal will be cheaper than that, but there’s no real way to know until this June, when E3 will inevitably unveil everything we need to know about Microsoft’s motion controller. My uninformed predictions? The name will be changed to a catchy, one syllable word and it will sell for around $85. I also think they’ll be revealing a Slim model of the 360 that will come with Natal packed in for $300.

Now I’m putting that video up there just because I want you to see how sketchy of a source this is, but that doesn’t stop this leak from being potentially true. GameSpot is reporting that in an interview on Saudi Arabian state television’s Channel 2, the marketing manager of Microsoft Saudi’s Entertainment and Devices division, Syed Bilal Tariq, let the motion controller’s release window slip.

Sounds like they have some cool ideas for the game, even if they are French. What’s also interesting are rumors that Future Soldier will support Microsoft’s upcoming Natal hardware. If JeuxVideo’s anonymous sources are to be trusted, then the game could allow the player to keep one hand on the 360 controller while giving motion-based orders with the other hand. The feature is said to be optional, but it definitely could add another layer of immersion if done correctly.

Well, more accurately, they want the money you’ll spend on it. But regardless, they’ve narrowed down that money-gathering time frame to “holiday 2010.” And you should probably read this preview, as it explains all the awesome new things Fable III will be doing. Awesome, awesome things…

That there image you see above you, that’s a screen-shot from Infinity Ward’s increasingly controversial Modern Warfare 2, courtesy of 1UP. Now in case you can’t quite read those tiny letters, I’ll go ahead and quote the message for you. “This multiplayer session requires that you be in the game chat channel. If you don’t switch, you can’t play. Switch to the game chat channel now?”

Coming to a home near you in 2010?
So we haven’t really posted all that much this week because the news has been kind of slow. I’m still having trouble determining if it’s really been slow or if it just seems that way after E3 chewed me up and spit me out. But anyways, there have been a few interesting rumors I thought I’d share with every one.
Author: CodyReactions: Project Natal demoed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Regardless of your opinion of Mr. Fallon, you certainly can’t deny that he’s made good on his promise to showcase video games on his show. The most recent example of this occurred just the other night, when Kudo Tsunoda was kind enough to give a live demo of Natal in Fallon’s studio. Kudo is wearing sun glasses as always, and Jimmy is way too excited, as always. What’s of interest to you, fine reader, is that they showed off the version of Burnout Paradise that utilizes Natal, which was only seen behind closed doors at E3. It seems to work pretty well, although I feel like no controller would be more confusing to non-gamers than specialty steering wheel controllers. Also, for some reason everybody’s wearing bright red jump suits. Hope that’s not an indication that this thing will only work properly under the blazing lights of E3. But anyways, this certainly seems like a head start on Microsoft’s plan to make Natal’s launch as big as the 360′s.
