LA Times gets pre-E3 look at Natal

Microsoft gave the LA Times a pre-E3 look at some of its Natal titles recently, and while the games were described as "tech demos", the author of the post believes each will be made into a full game at some point.

According to the article, Ricochet Rocket - demoed at E3 last year - was shown. Ball slapping and all. Another was River Rush, also seen before.

The other two are new to the list: Living Statue and Obstacle Course.

Living Statue was described as more of a tool, which allows users to create singing and dancing videos with their XBL Avatars and share the results with other XBL users.

Obstacle Course contains a "series of levels" filled with obstacles of "what you would find at a summer camp."

The article also states that a dozen games from third-party publishers will be revealed for Natal Monday and Tuesday at E3.
