Dan and I were lucky enough to grab some actual gaming time with Microsoft's Project Natal, the controller-free, err... controller that takes face and body recognition and allows you to physically use your whole self to interact with videogames, and even the Xbox 360's Dashboard.

We also had a chance to sit in on a panel comprised of three of Japan's most celebrated game designers to hear their thoughts on the new technology, and what they think it might set them to craft in the not-too-distant-future.

For our full hands-on (or off), a run-down on the panel and our final thoughts on this bold new gaming venture, click here.

If it's as good as ppl say it is and they make shooters that use it well, I may actually get a console!

hey is that "Acid Reign" in the red ???

if by "Acid Reign" you mean Dan, yes
