I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.
EDIT: If Ryan said Reach could use Natal, could that mean Natal is going to launch before Reach is released? Interesting.

FPS games can't work with Natal.Did Microsoft Confirm this or are you just guessing?
As BS Police already pointed out, it's kind of obvious that mainstream FPS franchises won't be created for full Natal functionality. It isn't just turning around. Angling your camera, reloading, jumping, crouching, exchanging weapons, lobbing grenades, switching weapons, flashlight, zoom magnification, checking the scoreboard, etc.
All of that would somehow have to be integrated into a controller-free environment... and unless they plan on having monotonous voice commands, or physically tiring motions to differentiate between every single function, it's not going to happen.

My money is on Natal being Halo: Reach compatible, meaning you would be able to navigate the menus and such, but I highly doubt it will be used for game play purposes.
What he said.
I would imagine that games that rely on Natal's functionality would have to be specifically designed for it, rather than current franchises adapting their complex gameplay systems to Natal. The FPS genre would be too difficult to incorporate without some kind of physical peripheral unless the game was incredibly basic, such as requiring the blowback motion of a gun-pointed fist, which... seems silly.
