Crazy brain controller 


This thing supposedly measured your brain activity in an attempt to control a game or record for player behavior analysis. This was so strange, but after watching it in use I seriously doubt its ability to really do anything useful.

Sony Playstation Xperia 


This is a great concept. Pretty much all phones out there can play games, but the touch interface sucks for controlling them. This phone folds out to reveal a game pad. It is a little thicker than my evo, and the screen is smaller, but it would be great to play games this way. If they could increase the battery life, this would be perfect! With the amount the batteries drain when the screen is on, it makes these devices impractical for game playing when away from a power source for long periods of time. Probably wont get this, but it is a good idea.

Octodad 


This was a game in the student competition at gdc 2011. The object: Control an octopus to collect bananas without slipping on them while wearing a suit. Very strange plot and very strange game. You can even control with kinect by doing a swimming motion...

Nintendo 3DS 


Hands on with the 3DS a few weeks before the release. Pretty cool.. They demoed some augmented reality games that were a good use of the extra cameras. The 3d effect is good, but the viewing range is pretty small. Only the person playing the game can see the 3d effect.. Good enough to pick up on launch day though!
