"Silicon Valley motion-sensing technology company Canesta has announced that it is being purchased by Microsoft, with the sale due to be finalized before the end of 2010. Canesta develops 3D sensing hardware not unlike that used in Kinect, which launches next week. The company also develops software for working with 3D tracking data, which is where we'd most likely see the deal bear fruit in terms of gaming, specifically in the evolution of Kinect's software-driven capabilities. It's also possible that the acquisition -- at least in the short-term -- is a move to head off any potential claims that Microsoft may have infringed on Canesta's patents during the development of…

The official abstract for the device describes it as, “A hand-held device having a body with a pressure-sensitive exterior surface. At least a portion of the pressure-sensitive exterior surface is designed to be grasped by a user's hand. The pressure-sensitive surface contains a plurality of pressure sensors operative to provide an output signal proportional to a pressure applied by the user's hands to the exterior surface of the hand-held device at the area the pressure sensor is located. The device also includes a memory for storing the output signals provided by the plurality of pressure sensors and a processor for comparing the output signals provided by the plurality…

http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/3/4491108/microsoft-xbox-one-reputation-system-cordons-off-trolls This should have been in place already. Wtf has been the point of the current rating system all this time?

I've been having some issues with this game and it's making me rethink my purchase. I looked at other Minecraft forums and others are experiencing the same things and different bugs. Water disappearing in holes where it shouldn't be and then you can still get water from the empty looking hole with your bucket if you use the left trigger to collect even though visably it's not there. Then the super fun one is when you are mining and you don't get anything from whatever you are mining. In my current world, I used the seed Bambi and I can't find any problems that people are reporting with that seed itself. I've restarted quite a few times and it's at the point to where I…

FortressCraft Yeah, looks good, right? I wonder if there's a reason why he recorded underground. Let's see what it's like up above ground. Whoops! lol I'm sure that will be fixed later on, if it hasn't already.

Anyone getting it?

From yours truly after I pre-ordered it today.

Anyone else going to get this game? I seriously can't wait. Looks insanely cool. If you haven't seen it yet, here is some gameplay:

*Mod deletion*

I know there is a thread in the XBLA section, but I feel the need to make another one. THIS GAME RULES. Wow, I can't say it enough. I love the class-based system. I love how anyone can build/upgrade various turrets so it's almost like a Tower Defense game. I love the humor. I love earning money in-match to upgrade my skills (kind of like Shadowrun or Counterstrike). I love shooting the Mascot as he's dancing around the Arena to earn some extra loot. And it's surprisingly smooth! I haven't had any lag. Plus the game even LOOKS good (running the Unreal Engine). I like the art style (even though it's a kind of TF2 rip). I like that there is like a "horde/firefight…

Monday Night Combat Title Update, DLC, and PAX First of all, we want to thank you for playing Monday Night Combat and supporting Uber Entertainment.

"Rockstar Games has today effectively confirmed that there's more downloadable content on the way for Red Dead Redemption, with a tweet from its Twitter account declaring that we should "Look for release date and details in the coming weeks", in response to a question from @Torpedo36, asking "When's the new Read dead DLC coming out?" We contacted Rockstar to ask whether this was accurate and they told us that something is indeed in the works for Red Dead Redemption and confirmed that for now, there's nothing further to announce, echoing the Twitter reply in stating that details and a release date for the DLC will be forthcoming soon. We figured that with Red Dea…

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=9_MqZn7E-mk So, some of you may have seen the viral video going around the interwebz these past few days titled "Mortal Kombat Rebirth". It has been said, it was just a quick short to get Warner Bros. interested in a movie. If you haven't seen it, its posted above. But the reason I'm posting about Mortal Kombat is the new trailer that just got uploaded, which will be fully announced at E3. If you're like me, you love Mortal Kombat, and you're sick of the awful quick cash ins that the series has been getting lately. *Cough MK V.S DC Cough* So, here is the new trailer for the new MK game, and it looks fantastic.

Just read in gameinformer that XCOM is being re-done. It will be called XCOM Enemy Unknown and should be out this fall this will be like the origianl with real time and turn based playing. Freaking Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess there is a first person shooter in the works as well from 2k that was supposed to be out last year but has been delayed. I would much rather have an update of the original.

Well Kotaku is reporting that another map pack for MW2 will drop on June 3rd. HERE For those not wanting to click... From Kotaku... Enough whining about the high price of the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Pack! It's time to whine about the likely high price of the Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack, due out early next month for the Xbox 360. During a company financial earnings call last week, Activision's Thomas Tippl seemed to indicate that the next map pack release for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would drop in the latter half of the calendar year. Apparently Thomas Tippl cannot read a calendar, because June 3, the day the Resurgence Pack is scheduled to hit Xbox Live, is d…
