Motion Control
With games becoming more experienced, games are now involving the people who play them more. With this new motion control, people can now interact with the game they are playing than ever before. The WII is a great example for this as the player can stand there and actually move there arms and legs to the game that they are playing so for example if they play a golf game on the WII, with the motion controller the player has to move the way a golfer would move to hit the ball.
PS3 are also expected to bring a motion controller out that acts kind of the same way the WII controller does.
Motion control has really became a hit in the past few years and it is only going to get better in the way you move with the controller and they way the consoul will reconise it.
Music Games
With guitar hero being released, this has become a very big hit with the puplic. With guitar hero you can simply use this special guitar to play your way though some of the greatest songs in the past years by pressing buttons on the guitar to the beat in the song. Also with rock band being released a group of people can now enjoy playing there way through songs. Rock band includes some drums guitar microfone etc so its like having your own little band.
Also on the PS3 you have sing star, this is were a person can sing through there favorite songs while singing into the special microfone.
Xbox are also releaseing a singing game called LIPZ. This acts almost in the same way as sing star.
Music games are a really big hit as it does bring people together and to have fun either at partys or just for fun.
Social Networking
With social networking also being big with the puplic, it is a easy way of getting to know people while you are playing games. Consouls now have places were you can message your friends etc and also see them with cameras that consouls have. Also you can speak to your friends with the built in microfone the cameras have or you can now buy a special head set were you can use this to either speak to you friends or if you are playing a game online you can use it to speak to other players. Again this is a great way to get to know other players around the world and to make friends.
