At the "Project Natal" event at E3, Microsoft dropped a few bombs on us that we're happy to receive. The first comes in the form of the Natal being renamed the Kinect, complete with a few launch title reveals: Dance Central, Joyride, Kinectimals, Kinect Adventures, and Kinect sports. Each of these games will utilize some unique aspect of the Kinect motion system, including dancing, driving, sports and other such activities. Things are looking good so far, we'll have more details about the co-op ability of the Kinect soon.

Co-Optimus is heading to Los Angeles, California to cover the biggest gaming event of the year - E3! While our main focus of the show will be on cooperative titles, you can be sure we'll still bring you the biggest gaming news out of the show including previews of Natal, the Nintendo 3DS, and more!

The stories for this week:

One of the first thoughts that came up for co-op fans when Project Natal was announced was: "But it will only support one player." Apparently, Stephen Totilo thought the same thing.

Microsoft has announced what everyone has been expecting for ages, a motion sensing peripheral for the Xbox 360.  Dubbed Natal, Microsoft's peripheral is actually an entire platform built into a tiny sensor bar.  Featuring voice recognition and full body movement recognition Natal is said to bring a new way to play.
