Today, September 10th 2009, a few demos came out on the PS3/PSP, all of which I thought might be at least mildly interesting to check out: TMNT: TITRS, Katamari Forever, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes and, for the PSP, Half-minute Hero.

TMNT:TITRS was one of my anticipated games this summer, yet I never checked out the 360 version, Katamari always intrigued me because of its popularity, Star Wars… well, it’s Star Wars…. and Half-Minute Hero has an interesting concept.

So, which of those fail, and which of those should we buy? Read my impressions for each of them and see! (I’ll make this short)

If you’ve been following E3… at least for today… well, you’ve without a doubt learned about Natal(if you don’t, click this link), Microsoft’s new technology that might change the way games are played, or the home entertainment industry in general.

It features a bunch of motion sensors, a camera and microphone. It captures your movements to instantly translate them in-game, using both the camera and motion detectors. It also features a bunch of fun little features like voice and face recognition and a bunch of other random stuff. And all of that without having to use a controller. At all.

Basically, it has a ton of features and things it can do. So, I was basically wondering how it will really influence the gaming world.

So, read on to see what I think about this.

Well the current-gen has been going on for around 3 years now (well, a bit over 2 for  the PS3 and Wii, a bit over 3 for the 360), and it feels like it’s just about the right time to take a good look at each current-gen console, their merits, their faults, and just analyse the current situation in the video game industry.

We’ve got powerful polygon pushing consoles, and someone who changed their whole marketing schemes and that is trying something relatively different (sounds familiar….), but what state is the industry in, and what are the consoles like after a few years on the market?

Now I want to make this an analysis mostly around the gamers, consoles and games, so I won’t go around talking about sales statistics and all that crap.

Check out what I’ve got to say on this.
