But Molyneux still won't say how, exactly. Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has confirmed Natal technology will feature in Fable III - but he still won't say how it will work. During his talk on Fable III at the Game Developers Conference, Molyneux told the audience, "Natal is wonderfully additive to this experience. It really does add to the Fable world."

The game is coming to the PlayStation, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii on June 8, for $59.99 on the two high-definition systems and $49.99 on the Nintendo Wii. The game features 47 Green Day songs, vocal harmonizing for multiple singers, and you'll have the ability to export every song to Rock Band or Rock Band 2 for an additional $10.

A number of factors are pouring cold water on the launch plans for cloud gaming service OnLive, including an installed base too small to be meaningful for larger publishers, and a pricing model that could prove too expensive for consumers. That's according to Signal Hill's Todd Greenwald, who also pointed to problems with lag, and no support for home TVs or 1080p HD output until after the June 17 PC and Mac launch.
