Origin PC is showing off their obscenely expensive liquid-cooled Xbox 360, gaming computer hybrid at CES next week.
In terms of pointing a remote at a screen and things happening, it was dead on. Like the Wii, LG's TVs equipped with Magic Motion support can also play games, as you'll see in the video above.

A new year, a new Street Fighter and a new update to Mad Catz's tournament edition fight stick. We went hands-on with the newer, slimmer Super Street Fighter IV branded model at CES. Is it worth the upgrade?
