A video game includes an audio-video stream combined with game graphics and game sounds. The game graphics are overlaid on the video stream and updated in synchronization with the stream. Update of the game graphics and sounds depends on inputs received from a game player. The game player may provide input using a game controller coupled to the video game by an adapter. The video game may play on a Blu-ray player.

While watching a movie, a user speaks lines of dialogue. The system records the speech, compares with the dialogue in the movie, and reports a score to the user. The system can share scores through an online service to create a community experience. In particular, the systems and methods disclosed implement a technique for matching user input to media content. A computer system receives audio input from a user (speech) and compares the received speech to dialogue in a movie or television program. For example, the computer system may convert the received speech to text and may compare the converted text against dialogue text using closed captioning or subtitle data. Alternatively, waveform data may be compared. The computer system generates a score for the speech based on how closely the speech matches the dialogue, and reports the score to the user through a user interface.

There are disclosed control devices (30, 300, 600) for controlling a display device (80, 380, 680). According to one embodiment, the control device (30) is operable in multiple orientations. In response to detecting the change of orientation of the control device (30), a navigation menu (920) in relation to content (810, 820, 830) displayed by the display device (80) is generated in a processor (60) of the control device (30). The navigation menu (920) generated by the processor (60) is then displayed on a control device display (90) of the control device (30) to facilitate controlling the display device (80). There are also disclosed methods of controlling a display device using the aforementioned control devices (30, 300, 600).
