My brother just bought one of those Sony Eye Toys.... you know, that camera device you plug into a PS2 that sticks your head on the TV screen and where you interact with the game world by waving your arms around in gaylord fashion across the path of the camera, generally knocking creatures flying and spinning plates with a flick of your wrists. After about an hour or two worth of play, I can say that it definitely is novel, and fun, even if some of the games are complete crap. I imagine it'll be best suited for young kids and simpletons, and of course, those post-pub closing time parties. However, it's knackering stuff. A couple of goes of cleaning windows to the tune of George Formby and I'm cream crackered. If this is the future of gaming, then fat bastards better beware because you need to be moderately energetic. Course, it helps if you don't play it when it's boiling hot.
For about thirty odd quid if you shop around, it's worth a butchers, though probably best letting your mate buy it as the games are only entertaining for so long. As well as games there are a load of effects that you can use on your on-screen self, including hall of mirrors style trickery and a Star Trek transporter effect. All in all the Eye Toy is pretty good. As long as you don't mind seeing yourself looking like a complete tit on TV.
