See the future

Microsoft released their brand new Xbox Live Vision camera to retail stores just this last Wednesday along with some updates to four different games so that you can actually use the thing as soon as you get it home. The games that make use of the new camera are as follows:

UNO
Bankshot Billiards
Hardwood Hearts
Hardwood Spades
Hardwood Backgammon
TotemBall

That last one is a free download with purchase of the camera; you'll find a code inside the package with instructions on how to get the game from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Of course, we love what we've seen of the camera so far, but it'll probably take some more meaty releases (like Rainbow Six Vegas, withwhich will use the Xbox Live Visionto incorporate your actual face into multiplayer games) to get us super excited about it.
