In2Games today unveiled Gametrak Freedom, a handheld “ultrasonic 3D motion sensing” controller that enables gamers to play motion-capture games on either console. The controller looks like the Wii’s Nunchuck, but sports four PS3-style buttons and what looks like a microphone cover on the tip.
The system comprises a base unit, which attaches to either console through a spare USB port, and the Gametrak Freedom controller itself. The base unit’s comprised of two sensor bars, which can either be attached to the TV or mounted on included stands.
Gametrak Freedom communicates with the base unit through unmentioned “ultrasonic and RF technologies”, tracking the gamer’s movements with a three-axis accelerometer.
Squeeballs, a bizarre game akin to Wii Sports, is the only title to have announced as compatible with the controller so far.
The Gametrak Freedom controller is expected to launch at some point next year.

Thanks for the heads up, LyonHrt. Since there's only one game compatible for so far, I don't see this being very successful...
By the way, I'm sure there are some readers out there that don't have both a PS3 and 360. I suggest you guys take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on where you can win the system of your choice. There are also weekly prizes to win such as Rise of the Argonauts and 6 Hour Power energy shots (which are great for gaming sessions). Right now there are less than 325 entrants too, so check out the contest details here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog, LyonHrt. I work with 6 Hour Power so if any of you guys have any questions about the contest or the drink itself, just let me know. Be sure to tell me if you enter too, and I'd be happy to vote for your designs. Good luck.
