I assume most of you know about Microsoft's new Kinect (formerly known as Project Natal),
if not heres a description.
Anyway...
Youtuber LaughPong posted a number of movies which shows how games could be played using Kinect.
Now they added GTA V (IV) to the list... enjoy the video
It's not that due to a lack of GTA news I'm going all Red Dead Redemption on everyone, but I found this one worth mentioning.
As they did with GTAIV, Digital Foundry over at Eurogamer created a timelapse from a number of different viewpoints in the world of Red Dead Redemption over several ingame days.
If you remember (and liked) the GTAIV one, you'll definately appreciate this one.
I missed out on a few Rockstar news items, here goes:
*1 Rockstar Games wil not be attending the E3 convention this year.
*2 Rockstar recently released a Red Dead Redemption shortfilm, directed by John Hillcoat.
Hopefully they'll release it (legally) online aswell sometime soon, since they only aired it on FoxTV.
Ugo.com posted an interview with John Hillcoat on their website about the forthcoming of this project.
[UPDATE] The extended version of this shortfilm can be viewed online at IGN.com
This and a few more Read Dead redemption news items and wallpapers can be found over at Rockstar's Newswire page
Dont forget there's a RDR multiuplayer event later today (June 3rd) on Playstation 3.
Rockstar games released a new update for GTAIV and Episodes From Liberty City on the PC.

Ballad of Gay Tony, deal of the week - (GTASeries.com)
Xbox 360 owners who do not have The Ballad of Gay Tony yet, might be in luck as it's this week's 'deal of the week' on Xbox Live Marketplace, which means you get 25% discount on the normal price of 1600 Microsoft Points.
Unfortuntely this only applies if you are a Xbox Live Gold member and ofcourse you need GTAIV to play this episode.

DigitalFoundry (these days part of the Eurogamer.net website) have put up a selection of FaceOff and Perfomance analysis videos between Episodes From Liberty City on Xbox and Playstation3.
