What you see above was recently introduced by Nintendo during their E3 presentation, the Wii Vitality Sensor.

What this peripheral essentially is, is a heart rate monitor that you attach to the bottom of the Wii controller just like you would the Nunchuk attachment. Nintendo says this attachment will “expand the appeal of video games” and sense a players pulse along with “a number of other signals being transmitted by their bodies, and will then provide information to the users about the body’s inner world.”

So, exactly waht they will be using this attachment for? Not a clue but knowing Nintendo they will probably come up with something good.

Final Fantasy XII isn’t even out yet and already Square Enix is taking the wraps off of Final Fantasy XIV. Don’t expect to gain much in terms of gameplay from the above trailer as it is entirely CG. Of course, it the CG is done beautifully as in all Final Fantasy games.

Anyways, we know now that Final Fantasy XIV will be an MMORPG much like Final Fantasy XI and will be a PS3 exclusive. However, Joystiq reports that they said PS3 will be the games “only console” which means a PC version might be in the works.

All things aside, FFXIV will be out sometime in 2010 presumably after FFXIII.

First announced during last year’s E3, God of War III has been anxiously awaited by hack-n-slash enthusiasts everywhere ever since.

However, no one was sure exactly when they would be able to get their hands on God of War III but Sony has been kind enough to step in and narrow down the release date.

March 2010. Yep, almost a full year away but just think how awesome that year of development will make the game.

Despite having everything from hardware specs to official press images leaked a few days ago, Sony has come forth at their E3 conference and taken the veil that was never really their off of the PSP Go.

Just like stated in the leaked specs, the PSP Go will include 16GB of internal storage, no UMD slot and a slideout control panel. Of course, no UMD slot means a 100% digital library of games which is certainly a step towards the future.

Something we didn’t know from the leaked documents was the price and relesae date which were also revealed during the E3 conference. The PSP Go will sell for $249 and hit store shelves in the United States this October.

What, you didn’t think Sony let Microsoft take all the glory at E3, did you? Ok good because Sony has just responded with some motion sensing of their own introducing Playstation Motion Control.

Think of this as somewhat of a middle ground between Project Natal and the Wii because what it basically is, is a wand attached to a glowing ball that is then picked up by the Playstation Eye and rendered on screen in real time.

Doesn’t make sense? Check the above video for the tech demo from E3.

The game’s been in development for what, like 3 years now? And then back in April of last year Polyphony Digital went ahead and released Gran Turismo 5 Prologue to hold gamers over until the actual release hit store shelves.

Well, from the same convention Gran Turismo 5 was announced at 3 years prior (E3) comes the first official trailer showcasing the game.

Don’t expect any gameplay footage but definitely expect ridiculously awesome graphics. As for the release date? Still unannounced.

When the Wii was first revealed the world was amazed by its intuitive motion sensing Wiimote but how about removing the controller and instead using your whole body? That’s exactly what Microsoft has introduced to the gaming world with Project Natal.

Unveiled yesterday during their E3 conference, Project Natal utilizes a 3D camera placed under your TV to let you use your entire body to play games like featured in the above debut trailer. But it doesn’t stop there, Project Natal also features facial regonition so when you put your face in front of the camera you’ll be automatically signed in.

Sounds cool? That’s because it is, Project Natal will introduce a whole new way to play games and effectively blow Nintendo out of the water. That is, if it is priced so consumers can actually afford it.

Sure, it’s no Modern Warfare 2 but Halo 3: ODST has a good slice of hype surrounding it and the above video from E3 showcasing gameplay footage will only add to that.

ODST is looking good so far, if I do say so myself, and the robust campaign mode will be a nice break from the normal Master Chief story. Then again, what’s Halo without the Chief?

Halo 3: ODST will hit shelves for the Xbox 360 on September 22nd and will ship with access to the multiplayer beta of Halo: Reach.

Valve has confirmed that Left 4 Dead 2 will be out on November 17, and will feature new characters, new maps and an improved A.I. director, called Director 2.0. It’ll also feature new weapons, including chainsaws. Expect more info in the upcoming days, and videos as well.
