It's official, everybody wants to get on the motion sensing controller bandwagon. In2Games has just announced their new Wii-like motion controller, which will be compatible with both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Called the Gametrak Freedom (the successor to the Gametrak, a motion controller for the Playstation 2), they claim that it's the most advanced controller yet.

According to their site, the Gametrak Freedom "does not rely upon the gamer pointing a controller at the screen or restrict the gamer to limited movements. Instead, it combines patent-pending ultrasonic and RF technologies with three-axis accelerometers to track the precise absolute position and orientation in 3D space of almost any wireless accessory such as golf clubs, baseball bats, tennis racquets, and bowling balls".

A wide range of compatible games are said to be in development, with the first of these being Squeeballs, a motion controlled mini-game fest. A release date for both the controller and game has yet to be announced. There's an official site for Squeeballs, which gives a first look at the title, as well as a demo of the Gemtrak's capabilities, which can be viewed here.

I wish for swift death upon this company.

Yay! More minigames!
