Half-Life 2 Playing on Project Natal

the clip comes from an unconfirmed source, but everything about the system is reminiscent to Natal to us

Looks legit enough to me, but two things stick out... The first is that it it looks laggy. The second is that they don't show any actual shooting so it's unclear what hand motion would be used for that and how will it not interfere with motion.

Then again, if they can work out the kinks Natal might actual make a console a decent replacement for a die hard mouse/keyboard gamer that hates controller aiming.

I hate motion controls. Motion will never replace a good ol' controller for me. When I play games I want to just sit down, relax, and play. Oh and the gameplay wasn't laggy, the whole video was laggy.

That looks like a horribly annoying way of controlling an FPS.

Yeah, it was sort of hard to tell what was lagging... The input device, video, or both. In a related article Gizmodo talks a little bit about Natal lag (so it is apparently an issue): http://gizmodo.com/5431245/project-natals-critical-flaw-is-lag
