Motus Games have recently revealed a motion sensing, pull-a-part controller, dubbed as the ‘Darwin’ for Microsoft’s XBOX 360. The controller has the ability to divide in half allowing for players to select from three different control methods.

So with E3 around the corner all of us fans of Monster Hunter and more challenging games were eagerly awaiting Capcom’s hopeful showing of the game.
Unfortunately, it was not to be as Capcom announced it would not be one of the games being shown. It’s now predicted it will be displayed at the Tokyo Game Show in October.

Hopefully due to the immense sales of the Wii and the lack of more mature games on the platform, Capcom give us a prompt English release.

Major League Eating: The Game, developed by Sensory Sweep and published by Mastiff, is a game that recreates all the thrills of the greatest athletic competition of all time: Competitive Eating. Playing as Kobayashi, Joey Chestnut, or any of the other legendary competitors available in the game, players will use the Wii-mote to simulate the action of lifting food into their mouth, while on-screen indicators give some indication of when to slow down and when to speed up your food intake (see, because you have to slow down occassionally to prevent regurgitation).
The obvious advantage to this game is that you can simulate the act of stuffing your face for competition and profit without having to exercise the food off later! Unless, of course, they do a tie-in with Wii Fit where you must exercise away those virtual calories…
MLE: The Game is currently scheduled for a TBA 2008 release. Due to MLE’s lack of mainstream popularity it may only see a limited release in the USA, but hey, now that Australia has been named the world’s most obese nation it might end up being a popular game down under.
