Bungie has released a new “Vidoc” of the awesome Legendary Map Pack that’s coming to XBL next Tuesday. Can’t wait to get it. It will be 800 points, but since I didn’t have to pay for Heroic, I’ll get this one early. Youtube version after the break, but I suggest you take the time to download the large 720p version from bungie, because it’s worth it.

Looks like the X360 wiimote motion sensing controller is coming this winter. 8bitjoystick.com, a blog that claims it has obtained insider informations, confirms the Microsoft is working on the clone, code-named “Newton”.
This confirms the rumour that started with this MTV News article. I think if M$ can pull this off by the end of the year, they will take a huge chunk of the Wii market. After all, the wiimote controller is the selling point of this console, and the sales volumes have been huge. Think of the possibilities! Star Wars: The Force Unleashed light sabers? OMG!
From what I’ve learned from internal sources at Microsoft I can collaborate that the Newton project is moving forward and I can believe the time table that it has been in development for a while now and they could get it on the market by winter of 2008. The Newton is also going to use an LED sensor bar that can be powered by the USB ports on the 360, it is going to have an LED sensor on the front accelerometer and gyroscope sensor that can detect tilt and motion, rumble motors, wireless two way data communication with the 360, a built in Microphone for Xbox Live and voice-activated games.
Now if MS could add an external Blu-Ray player to replace their failed HD-DVD box, the 360 would probably become, by far, the best console money can buy. Not that it isn’t a wonderful product already :)
This looks like it will be an epic game. Just check the trailers. It will be launched on almost all platforms (XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, Nintendo DS) which is a feat on itself. Wii owners will of course get to wield the lightsaber with the wii remote. Why, oh why doesn’t the 360 have a motion sensor controller? Oh wait! Could it be?
Anyways, the game is based on the havoc physics engine so you can throw x-wing fighters at people or force-choke wookies using the mighty dark side of Teh Force. You will play as Darth Vader’s apprentice, but apparently you can play as the Dark Lord himself, at least in the beginning of the game. More details on the Gametrailers video after the jump.
