Have Microsoft lost their mind? Who sits in a meeting and brings up the recommendation to bring virtual pets to a gaming console and actually has that suggestion agreed to. I know we don’t have to buy them and it’s all about free will and all that but come on… If they are going to allow people to walk around …

Remember that potty-mouthed parasite we told you about who tried to sue Sony, on account of the “pain and suffering” he’s incurred after having his PSN account banned? Thankfully – and quite rightly – that suit got thrown out, but that hasn’t stopped Erik Estavillo from taking aim at the other console manufacturers. Estavillo, who suffers from depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, …

Less than a week ago we told you of the rumours surrounding Microsoft’s controllerless wagglemachine, Project Natal.

Microsoft have already stated that the Project Natal launch is going to be treated like a new console launch all of its own. We are going to get the parties, the media frenzy and the hype and it’s all going to end in November 2010 according to some new rumours floating around.
