Microsoft has not given out a specific launch date for Natal, and yet here we have Brian Farrell of THQ proclaiming that the motion-sensing unit will be out by "late next year." Can he back up this talk with the walk?

This year's E3 was truly one for the books. After the busy week we had last week, we here at QJ.NET decided to do a little digging to look for 25 excellent games under US$ 25 that were released last year in honor of this year's E3. If you just recently acquired your 7th gen console or handheld or if you're just looking for a great game to add in your collection, maybe you can take a look at these games.

While the camera-based motion-sensing tech shown by Sony and Microsoft during E3 definitely impressed a lot of gamers, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata had more of a "been there, done that" attitude.

It's over. It's done. E3 2009 has come and gone, and the worldwide gaming community is left to sift through the announcements, reveals, videos, hype and promises that came out of the yearly gaming expo this past week.

To make it just a wee bit easier, here are all the E3 2009-related news that graced the QJ.NET pages in the past week. This is quite long, so I'll cut this intro short and get right down to the meat. Hit the jump for the QJ.NET E3 2009 Round-up.

If all the rumors about Microsoft's hardware are true, then Microsoft is probably scratching its head right now with its disclosure security fail. Then again, leaks and snitches are as old as secrets. For this edition of the Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior, we'll take another look at the rumorama updates surrounding Microsoft's supposed new hardware. We've also got a new AAA title, some 000 Gamerscores, and more news bits on this week's recap, so let's get this non-party started.

Things haven't quite quieted down as far as the Xbox 360 motion-sensing controller is concerned. Now, even the Wall Street Journal has word on Microsoft's crack at the scene, and it's pretty much consistent with all the other stuff we've heard so far - it's a camera and it might be out in E3. More in the full article.

Rumors and leaks are running rampant once again on Twitter. It looks like someone's feeling generous with Microsoft's planned E3 2009 line-up. The big MS has surely been rather tight-lipped about game announcements this year, and while we could expect certain few games to pop up in E3 (Alan Wake pls!), there's one sore thumb sticking out for PS3 fanboys and it goes by the acronym of MGS.

The biggest thing(s) for Microsoft this week would be Bizarre Creations' disclosure of their strained relationship in the past (can you say awkward), as well as the resurrected motion-sensing controller rumor that seems like it's actually gonna be here to stay. Juicy week, huh? And that's just the tip of it all.

A few days ago, we reported on a rumor of a motion-sensing add-on for the Xbox 360, which came complete with a features list and a picture. Today, we've got an update on that, albeit also as a rumor form, this time saying that it may even have been already demoed at the Consumer Electronics Show last year.

Here we have another rumor on the motion-sensing add-on for the Xbox 360. If you'll remember, this rumor came as early as December of 2007, and it's been appearing in and out of our consciousness ever since then. Well, we thought it was over for real when Microsoft flat-out denied the rumor in July last year. Guess what. It's alive again.
