  1. Overall, i’m not excited for motion controls, but i do have to admit the more i see and hear about Natal it looks really cool. With that being said, do i want to be playing halo holding an air gun? No. If it was a built in option such as online play or as a downloadable pack that’d be awesome and i’m all for that. The reason why i dont pick up my Wii as often is that after a hard day at the gym or work, is that I really just want to mash buttons.
