She said "we created" - More like they created and hired her to sell. =^)

Microsoft Surface - Go!!! game
GO is a go on Surface.
Authenticity is the driver for the cool ancient Chinese board game of Surface GO. When the Microsoft HPC group approached Vectorform with this concept, we jumped right in and crafted the NUI to drive home the Surface experience through intuitive gesturing game play actions, design and functionality.
Using WPF coding allowed us a shorter development time and gave our creative team the ability to make larger contributions. We used Microsoft Expression Blend to build UI elements such as clam shell and slate stones and a fully 3D rendered wood grain board.
To round out the authenticity of the experience, we added in ambient and game play sounds. Surface GO features multiple game play options including a 9×9 board, a 19×19 board, handicap options, and most exciting is that you can chose between human vs. human, AI vs. human or AI vs. AI. That’s right, you can chose from a list of GO engines and pit super computers against each other. This game has more move combinations than chess and will be featured at Microsoft PDC 2008.

Microsoft Surface - Trivia Application
Most early adopters of Microsoft Surface technology are likely to have the resources to develop custom applications, but as multi-touch technology becomes more accessible, a large class of Microsoft Surface owners will not have the resources to develop custom applications. As consumers become more familiar with multi-touch applications it will become increasingly important that every Microsoft Surface deployment provides a unique user experience, or consumers will grow bored with the technology and adopt a “seen one–seen them all” mentality.
To help every Microsoft Surface owner provide a unique experience, we are developing applications that can be rebranded and customized by end users. One application we are working on is the Surface Trivia Engine. The Surface Trivia Engine allows non-technical users to build interactive trivia games. These customized applications and owner-friendly controls will ensure that every time a user sits down at a surface, they will get a totally new experience.

Microsoft Surface - Surface Scavenger Hunt (PDC2008)
The Microsoft Surface team has set up a cool little game here at the PDC developer’s conference.
It’s a scavenger hunt. The Surface crew has set up a number of its table-top computers with touch-sensitive screens around the convention center. Participants are given plastic business cards with a unique pattern on the bottom (it sort of looks like a ShotCode or an Aztec Code). You place the card on the Surface table, and up pops a ring of photo thumbnails. The object is to match the thumbnails around your card with the images on the table. When you spot a match, you drag or toss the photo over your card to add it.
Check out the video:
The corresponding photos are distributed among all of the stations, so you move from station to station, playing your card and collecting the photos until you have a full set. A filled card can be redeemed for a Surface t-shirt.
Video 2:
There’s also an air hockey game that I tested, but either it wasn’t working properly or there was some odd bug in the software. Because I rule at air hockey and I found the Surface game pretty much unplayable.
If you want one of these fancy table-top Surface units, you can purchase one, along with an SDK, for $13,500.

Banned Xbox Commercial - Giant Monster
When Money Attacks the Xbox.
I've heard that this Xbox commercial got banned, and was never released on TV. Have you seen it on TV? They don't really show any video games here, but the warriors and giant monster look like they came from a role playing game or adventure game. The sword reminds me of a Zelda game, but I don't think that would be on the Xbox.
They must have spent a lot on the special effects for a commercial like this, only to have it not shown on TV!
Enjoy!

Interactive Table Bar Games - Projector system
When Money Attacks... Bars
Here is an interesting use of projection technology. This is used to create interactive games for clubs. It's a fun interactive environment to enjoy - play a game for a few seconds while you talk to your friends, drink, and listen to music.
Here is their video of the "spin" game. This game allows you to use your shadow to spin the image on the table, much like you would spin a wheel:

Here is their menu of videos for all the different interactive games:
