CES 2010: Natal coming out this Holiday season screenshot

Natal is the latest attempt from videogame makers at making games less fun! Sorry, but I enjoy playing games with a controller in hand rather than throwing my entire body around.

Anyway, Microsoft has just announced that Natal will be available this Holiday season. And that's all the news we're getting about that. No word on price or what Natal will actually be named. We'll hopefully find out more about Project Natal by E3 this year.

Earlier in the day, Xbox Game Room was revealed to be a real thing. Microsoft's Robbie Bach did a video interview with On10.net that was accidentally put up a little too soon. The video was taken down, but nothing ever really disappears from the grasp of the Internet!

So what is this all about? Game Room will have over 1000 old school classic games such as Centipede, Adventure and more being released over the next three years. You'll be able to create a custom arcade rooms and challenge your friends in a number of games.

It's odd that Microsoft is creating another channel for games when we already have Xbox Live Arcade. Perhaps Microsoft thinks the new channel will be more appealing to casual players. Game Room will be out this Spring for both the Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live.

THQ wastes no time, starts pitching Darksiders movie screenshot

The irony! THQ is usually in its element when it comes to making games based on movies, but it's wasted no time at all in trying to make a movie based on a game. Darksiders was only released on Tuesday, and the publisher is pitching the IP to Hollywood, as well as planning a potential comic book.

"We’ve gotten some interest from Hollywood, we’ve talked about doing a comic series," explains Joe Mad. "At least a couple of those things have to happen, I’m sure. It’s really a THQ thing, but I know they are definitely talking to people and I would be surprised if some of that stuff didn’t happen."

Looks like THQ is keen as mustard to turn Darksiders into a big franchise, and the positive reviews seem to indicate that it has potential to go far. We're playing through it right now and have been quite impressed so far. Stay tuned for our review, coming soon!1
