Since a few comparisons were made in the article comparing Rage to other, already released games. Far Cry 2? Sounds very similar to me. FC2 was cool...
The PS3 motion sensor and Project Natal will both be failures (Wii motion will sell but what i say below is still applicable to it).
Comparatively few games will be available. Those that are available will feel like tech demos. And most importantly, no-one will care. Least of all me. Who gives a monkeys about motion control? It doesn't give enough input to operate any game with a bit of complexity. Can you imagine playing Left4Dead or WoW with motion control? NO. Who in their right mind wants to control a game with any movement input device that isn't a fully fledged VR machine like in Star Trek or similar? Even that would end up being a pain in the arse after a few hours. If manufacturers and consumers would just think about this bloody subject a little more, they would surely realise it is a waste of time pursuing this avenue of plastic wand, arm flailing, body-bopping crap. It's just crap.

Makes me want more wayoftherodent.com. What happened to that site? I loved that. It left me and made me sad.
I can't believe EDGE has led me to the goddamn Daily Mail website. Anywhere but that shoddy, cheap, alarmist, rag of cack please.
I mean Digital-hero. Not NerdyGirl.
