Sony's MOVE will take motion-control gaming to the next level


Sony will be selling it's MOVE component for the Playstation3 this fall for $100. MOVE is a motion-control system, like Wii, but with a 3D component. It is getting lots of buzz in the gaming world and has a 3D version of Killzone 3. One reviewer said, "the jet-pack wearing enemies seemed to be floating midway between our heads and the screen. We couldn't help leaning to the left of right to dodge their fire." And, before you ask, "yes" you have to wear those red/blue glasses.


So what about it, Microsoft? What are you gonna do for the XBox?

A Fun Read

Just heard about Fan-fiction, a site where anyone can be an author. Check it out and read a few!

Then if you feel adventurous, write your own story and upload it and see how many people read it. This is a fantastic way to express yourself and to see if you like writing for pleasure.

There's even a mobile version for those of you with smart phones. So the next time you're bored, but away from your computer, you can still have something fun to read.

Would you ever be willing to use something like Fan-fiction for turning in a school assignment? How would that change the amount of time and energy you put into the assignment?
