Natal bends down and picks up honours at Game Critic awards

Microsoft's newly announced Project Natal has won Best Hardware/Peripheral of E3 2009 at the Game Critics Awards.

Natal has caused a stir among the gaming community since it's announcement at E3 earlier this month, and Microsoft's Creative Director of European Studios, Peter Molyneux (seen here revealing how many inches his ears add to the width of his head), was only too willing to blurt out details about Microsoft's ambitions for the project.

"We're going to revolutionise gaming as we know it." claimed Molyneux. "Right now games are played with a controller, but with Natal we can remove that. Imagine being able to play through Fable 2 purely by twitching your eyebrows. That's the kind of thing we're aiming towards."

Another success story from the award ceremony was DS game Scribblenauts. The Little Big Planet imitator picked up the award for Best Original Game, with the irony sadly lost on the voting American editors.
