Project Natal on Smallville

Smallville a couple of nights ago (for US viewers) featured Lois Lane’s cousin, Chloe, playing the Project Natal game Ricochet on Lois Lane’s Xbox 360.

It is Season 9, Episode 12: “Warrior”. Chloe doesn’t know it, but the man is actually a child called Alec Abrams who discovered an enchanted comic book and used it to temporarily become a grown-up superhero, and then saved Chloe. Apparently Chloe was impressed, so when she invited him up to Lois Lane’s room above the Talon, Chloe was apparently hoping for some adult entertainment, but was disappointed he just wanted to play Project Natal instead.

The implication is that Project Natal is slightly childish (although Lois Lane obviously owns it). Although the episode does end with the idea that Chloe needs to have more fun, so the episode isn’t completely harsh on Natal.

This reminds me, I have to start watching Smallville again. I actually thought Smallville had been cancelled when they stopped showing it in Australia. But apparently it is still going with 9 seasons.
