We haven't seen much of Project Natal after the E3 demo, but the Xbox 360 motion camera seems to have gained a lot of attention outside gaming realms. Even Time took an interest to it. In fact, it impressed them so much that it earned itself a place among the ranks of Time's 50 Best Inventions of 2009.

The Latino Review caught the action at Disney's D23 Expo a few days ago, and they got a few words from producer Steven Linsberger. What came out of the exchange would certainly be good news for Tron-atics all over the world - Tron: Legacy is in the works.

A scrambled message from Master Control. Disney Interactive Studios is rumored to be working on a new TRON game, to be based on the upcoming film. End of line.

The last time around, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Rez HD, and Halo 2 ruled the Xbox Live charts.

Curious as to which titles took the top spots on the charts during the week of February 11? Major Nelson has the info for us in the full article, right after the jump.

If you grew up watching Tron, then you might want to know that Disney Interactive Studios has finally dated Discs of Tron for the Xbox Live Arcade.

To find out the release date of this game as well as a few details on how the game plays, scoot on over to the full article.

Major Nelson has posted the Xbox Live Activity for the week of January 7 on his blog. Unsurprisingly, Halo 3 and Halo 2 were on the top of their respective lists as the most played Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. The list also revealed that Omega Five was the best-selling Xbox Live Arcade.

For the entire Xbox Live Activity list and more information, head on over to the full article.

So what's up in this week's XBLA update? Well, two great games: the ninja-themed scroller Omega Five and Tron, the game based on Disney's cult classic. More details in the full article!

Soundtracks designed for video games have evolved a lot since the first synthesized beep was created years ago. Indeed, music in the interactive gaming industry has gone a long way. Now you can hear entire musical scores dedicated for a single game.

EMI Classics has pushed this concept further as they, Video Games Live and IMG Artist, are planning to release an album filled with some of the best known and most popular video game music of all time.

Entitled Video Games Live: Greatest Hits - Volume One includes medleys from various well-known games such as Zelda, Mario, Halo, Warcraft, Sonic, Tron, Myst, Civilization IV and Final Fantasy. The album was compiled by Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, reknowned video game composers and Video Games Live co-creators. Included as well are the Slovak National Orchestra and the Crouch End Chorus and the "Video Game Pianist," Martin Leung.

The album will be released on October 19, coinciding with this year's Video Games Live event on the same day at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles and on October 22 at London's Royal Festival Hall, performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Master Control Program (MCP) does not comment, but it does not hide these screens of Disney Interactive's Tron and Discs of Tron arcade conversions for the Xbox 360. The MCP also announces that these two games will be released this summer in honor of the 25th anniversary of the cult classic "Tron."

Which, given that movie's plot, it's certainly weird for a computer program to celebrate its own demise. We don't see XP doing that after Vista's release.

Presuming you're too young to remember the film, the two arcade games, its references in Kingdom Hearts II, and how to use Wikipedia... Tron recreates some of the digital-world games of the movie, the battle-tank game, the iconic light-cycle race, the grid bugs and the final battle against the MCP itself. Discs of Tron, on the other hand, revolves around one game only, the jai alai-esque beat-the-b******-with-a-Frisbee game. The Xbox 360 conversions will feature both original and enhanced graphics.

The latest ESRB listing, once again prognosticates that a new game is set to arrive for a next-gen console of your choice. In this case it's for Microsoft's Xbox 360. This time, it's for a game listed as Discs of Tron. Yes. Hardcore Tron fans rejoice. The listing credits Buena Vista Games as publisher of the game. Weird thing is, aren't they now known as Disney Interactive? Anyhow, Disney Interactive's response to questioning from the folks of IGN was just your standard "no comment."

It is still unsure if this will be a remake of the game or if it will be a re-release on XBLA of the arcade classic. The folks from TeamXbox.com seem to think that it is indeed a release for XBLA of the classic game that was based on the fight scene between Flynn and Sark in the original movie.

While TeamXbox seems pretty adamant about the existence of this game, IGN chooses to lean on the side of caution and lists this as rumor.
