EyePet --> November 17th.[/size]
EyePet is clearly the precursor to what will undoubtedly be a growing number of Eye (and motion controller?) games. One of the cooler things to do in the game is to drop down the "magic card" on the floor. This simple black card will be detected by the Eye and a spinning holgraphic menu will shoot out of it. Players will be able to gesture Minority Report-style, around the menu to access various options, like toys and health check-ups.
Unless you\'re heartless, you\'ll want your pet to be happy and well-fed. You\'ll be able to transform the magic card into an X-ray machine and look at the insides of your friend. You\'ll see how happy he is, and how hungry he is. You can then transform the card into a food bowl, throwing food for the pet to catch.
There are a number of toys you can play with, each with their own goals, achievements and objectives. You can play EyePet "just for fun," but gamers will be able to try and beat high scores to the various minigames in the collection. For example, one game has you playing ping pong with your pet. You don\'t want to beat your pet. Rather, you want to continue the rally for as long as possible.
Should you get tired of the toys included in the game, one amazing feature that works better than we\'d imagine is the ability to draw and import your own creations. You can play an airplane minigame, for example, by drawing a helicopter for your pet to drive. All it takes is a white piece of paper and a black pen. You\'ll have to draw the pieces necessary to make a working helicopter, and then you\'ll be able to scan the image with the Eye. The drawing then gets scanned into the world and your pet will attempt to recreate it. (The more you teach it how to draw, the better he will perform.) Your handwriting and drawing turns a real 3D object in the world. In the flying minigame, you\'ll use the PS3 controller to guide your pet in a balloon-colllecting minigame.

Are you a cat person or a dog person? In the future that question will have a different meaning. When we\'ve eaten all the fish in the sea, when all the cows have foot and mouth, when all the pigs have died of swine flu, we\'ll turn on Rover and Patch. "Cat or dog?" will be the new "Leg or breast?", and instead of turkey on Christmas day we\'ll have a German shepherd stuffed with kittens.
But we will always want pets. For it is human nature to forge bonds of mutual respect, affection and companionship with animals, at least the ones too fluffy to eat. In the future, when the phrase "doggy bag" will have a whole new meaning, EyePet could be a big hit.
It\'s being billed as "the virtual, magical pet in your living room", but a more accurate tagline would be "EyeToy meets Nintendogs". For the cost of a full-price PS3 title you\'ll get a copy of the game, a PlayStation Eye camera and a "magic card" - a bit of black cardboard small enough to fit inside the box. The EyePet disc and card will also be available separately for those who already own a camera.
