2010 E3

The E3 expo officially kicks off tomorrow, but that hasn't stopped the first round of news from coming out of Southern California. Last night, Microsoft revealed the name of its new motion-sensing control system, which was previously known as Project Natal.

Called Kinect, this system uses motion sensing technology to track and record your movements without using any hardware — essentially, you are the controller.

I'm excited about this new addition for one main reason — exergaming. Nintendo may have started the fitness gaming craze with Wii Fit, but I have a feeling that the Kinect will blow the Wii's exergaming options out of the water. Find out why when you read more.

E3 veteran Morgan Webb knows a thing or two about gadgets and video games. She has had her finger on the pulse of the industry far before her hosting gigs at G4TV's X-Play, and G4 Underground — she was also the host of TechTV in 2001 and calls eBay's Cat Schwartz a personal friend. It's no surprise then that I turned to Morgan — who's got hosting duties during G4's week-long E3 coverage — to fill us in on her most anticipated reveals at next week's conference and get some dish on some E3 slipups of years gone by. Find out more about the girl, the games, and the title she's most excited about this year in our exclusive interview.

GeekSugar: How many years have you been attending E3?
Morgan Webb: Ooh, let's see, six or seven?

GS: Any funny or outrageous moments you can remember from past years?
MW: I feel like a lot of really funny and notorious moments usually come out of the press conferences. I'm thinking about some disastrous moments, like the first year that Sony announced the Playstation 3. They put a guy up on stage for what felt like seven hours talking about cell processors. Then there are those moments like when Nintendo announced the first Zelda for the Wii, and everyone freaked out about that because Zelda is such a beloved franchise.

Find out what game Morgan is most excited about, and how she feels about the famous "booth babes" after the break.
