Remember back in the day, running on that NES pad that looked like a twister mat. Two player games usually turned into a shoving match. They tell us that motion controls are the future of gaming, and I couldn’t be happier. In 2003 Sony first attempted their hand with motion controls with the EyeToy. It is essentially a web cam, built on the Playstation 2 interface. When you could get the lighting right it worked beautifully, and has sold over 10 million units. The EyeToy didn’t see a lot of full title support, but was used by a lot of titles to help augment the experience. The titles were more mini game collections, which had you kicking ninjas,and swatting at flies. There was an exercise title from Nike, and a dance title as well. The games were not very deep, and you looked like you were having a seizure when you played them, but my family had loads of fun. Then motion became mainstream.
