| Here are the First Kinect Games Posted: 13 Jun 2010 11:41 PM PDT
The big one for me, as I’ve said before, is MTV’s dance game, which looks legitimately legit. It does actually make use of your whole body, and thus it, on its own, makes Kinect a worthwhile device. I will almost certainly buy a Kinect just for this game. The other big one is the Star Wars lightsaber dueling game we’ve been waiting our entire lives for. But it ain’t just about banging sabers; no, this thing throws force powers into the mix. I love love love this. Hasbro would be wise to flood toy stores with plastic lightsaber toys when Kinect hits shelves in the fall, because they’ll undoubtedly be in high demand among gamers. Oh, and you get to fight Darth Vader. Bam. Then we have Kinect Sports, which is basically Wii Sports but probably slightly better just because, with soccer and hurdling games in addition to beach volleyball, bowling and javelin-throwing games, it has you use your whole body. There’s also Kinectamals (that name totally works, weirdly), which appears to be the fake pet game to end all fake pet games. You can pet your fantasy tiger! And, while maybe not a game, really, there’s a yoga title that will be totally great for macho men like me, who have perhaps been interested in the eastern art but wouldn’t be caught dead near a yoga class or DVD. Now we can try it and just claim we’re playing a video game and not lose any nerd cred. Finally, there’s Kinect’s video chat function. This is a neat perk to the whole thing, and I like it as a Skype substitute. That’s what we’ve got so far. Be sure to check back with Gaming Today on Monday morning at 10 a.m. PDT for our coverage of Microsoft’s E3 news conference. Share and Enjoy: |
| Natal Gets a Really Terrible New Name that Will Grow On Us Over Time Posted: 13 Jun 2010 08:39 PM PDT
Kinect. Connect. Kinetic. It’s a name that is immediately eye-catching, but it’s also really awkward. Of course, that’s also what we said about Natal, so I’m sure we’ll just begrudgingly get used to it. That’s how it goes. Wanna know what kind of games we’ll be able to play with this thing? Click here for a rundown on what they’re got in store for us. Share and Enjoy: |
