At the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles in May, the annual mega-conference of the video game industry, old favorites and much-anticipated video game designs were showcased to fans and leaders of the industry.
One of the biggest debuts was Nintendo’s new Wii controller, which uses motion detection to reflect the motion of video game characters’ hand-held props, like swords and guns. Sony also introduced a wireless controller of its own, signaling the latest trend in video game design.
Other important news includes the plans for Grand Theft Auto IV to be released alongside Sony’s third incarnation of PlayStation, which has redefined video game design through its global popularity. The game will be available to both Sony and Microsoft gaming systems at once; there will be no wait for Microsoft systems this time.
