This week in gaming we have our official review of Wii Sports Resort, Microsoft makes sure we understand that Natal is simply another kind of experience… not a replacement for standard gaming, and we talk to the director of Scribblenauts. Here’s what people were talking about this week.
Microsoft has given the press a limited preview of some of the new features that will be coming to the Xbox 360 dashboard, and while the Twitter and Last.fm functionality has yet to arrive, what is there points to a rosy future for the 360 as a media box… not to mention a more friendly platform for advertising.
