Emotiv Systems has crate a hardware device that able to detect your thoughts.

And this kind of technology enable lot of new type of applications.

Specially for games.

Because other than joystick or wireless motion device ,you can directly use your thought to play the game.

As a example I thought to run in the game.So in the game 3d character runs.

MFORCE (Troops of the New Millennium) (XBOX 360)

Game details

Genre-Role playing.

We believe that the toughest problems suchlike global warming, Hunger, Poverty, etc… can be solve by changing the attitude of the human mind. That is the place we are going to connect the Problems and Computer games.

The Game

Basically MFORCE is a role playing game which enables user to perform lot of  tasks. You can see there are lots of games in the world which user should fire and kill people, Destroy many things as possible. Those games provide attractive moral to the user. But our goal is to provide that same feeling without using anything badly affected to the Human mind. You cannot find any unsolicited actions inside MFORCE. Instead of that user can perform tasks which related with solving  toughest problems in the world.
