News: Halo's Kinect Features Finally Revealed
Take cover
With just under a month to go, Microsoft and 343 Industries have at last announced the Kinect features for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Only accessible when playing with the updated graphics — because Kinect wasn't around 10 years ago, of course — you can reload or chuck a grenade with the "reload" or "grenade" commands. Whether or not you'll be able to map.. Continue Reading »
News: ESRB Rating Might Get You Interested in Dance Magic
No, David Copperfield isn't in it
This Christmas sees the battle of the dance heavyweights — Just Dance 3 versus Dance Central 2 — but there's already a new contender lined up for next year: Dance Magic. This isn't just a regular dance game though — characters have magic attacks needed to drain your opponents' energy bars. There's offensive and defensive moves on offer, which hopefully will..

News: Activision Wants You to Grief in Cabela's Adventure Camp
Can't we all just get along?
Having drawn from the griefing well in Wipeout: In the Zone, Activision is returning with its next multiplayer party experience, Cabela's Adventure Camp. The trailer below shows some of the game's play modes in action, though it's worth bearing in mind that the game is also due out on PlayStation Move and Nintendo Wii, so there's every chance that some features — the..

News: Contort On Kinect with Twister Mania on 1st November
Left hand to wallet
Twister Mania, Majesco's motion party game of the original motion party game has a release date: 1st November. Majesco also sent over some new screenshots showing some of the new modes, including a feature more than a little inspired by Hole in the Wall. Still, if it stays true to the original Twister's rampantly inappropriate physical contact then we'll turn a blind eye to such.. Continue Reading »
News: Kinect Voted Gadget of the Year at T3 Awards
Nabs two gongs
Say what you like about Kinect's catalogue of games: the technology itself is still impressive, and the readers of technology magazine T3 agree, having recently voted it Gadget of the Year. Around 960,000 votes were cast in the awards, with Microsoft's sensor netting the coveted top prize over Nintendo's 3DS, the iPhone 4, Amazon Kindle and PlayStation Move. It also grabbed Gaming..

News: Activision Comes Out Swinging with Big League Sports Shots
Nothing but net
Kinect Sports: Season Two isn't the only Avatar-based sports compilation coming to Kinect: Activision wants a piece of that pie with Big League Sports, due out in the coming weeks. The mega publisher just sent out a stack of new screenshots showing the game's basketball, baseball and golf sports, among others, but at first glance it doesn't seem to have the appealing polish of Rare..

First Impressions: Kinectimals with Windows Phone 7
Kitty in your pocket
Unlike Nintendo and Sony consoles, sadly you've never been able to take your Xbox games on the go with you, something even Dreamcast offered over 10 years ago.

News: SpongeBob Hangs Ten on Kinect From 8th November
Pineapple not included
The fact that Kinect's first skateboarding and surfing game features a yellow sponge might not bode well for the sensor's future, but beggars can't be choosers, can they? SpongeBob's Surf & Skate Roadtrip is coming to North America on 8th November. It's not SpongeBob's first appearance on Kinect, though: he's already in Nicktoons MLB, of course. Here's a quick trailer to.. Continue Reading »
News: New Patent Suggests Kinect Can Tell Your Age
Blocks inappropriate content too
Kinect has no end of patents connected to it, but one of the more interesting registrations has just surfaced online, suggesting that the sensor can work out a player's age. Using its skeletal maps, Kinect could be able to discern the likely age of anyone in its viewing range, and block inappropriate content accordingly. We don't just mean not letting little Jimmy..

News: Tiger Woods Tees Off EA Sports' Kinect Support in 2012
The first of many
EA Sports hasn't done anything with Kinect yet, somewhat surprising considering its unrivalled stable of sports games. The publisher will break that duck next year when it releases Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 for Xbox 360. The golf game, due out in March 2012, will make use of Kinect's body-tracking and voice recognition capabilities in gameplay, though at this stage EA isn't talking.. Continue Reading »
News: Rise of Nightmares Comic is Huge, Weird and So, So Gory
So ticks all the boxes
Regardless of what you thought about Rise of Nightmares, it wasn't short on blood and guts, and neither is the new comic put out by SEGA to promote the game. Titled Rise of Nightmares: The Lost Tapes of Roland Childs, the comic is pretty gory but also pokes a little fun at itself in places, particularly exactly why there are so many cassette tapes lying around. It's twisted.. Continue Reading »
