News: Kinect's Educational Value Explored in Classrooms
Always learning
Kinect's applications outside of gaming are vast: we've seen it used for robotics, surgery and turning people into superheroes.

News: Guess What Kinectimals With Bears! Contains

Kinectimals is about cats. Cats are not bears. What would Kinectimals be called if it had bears in it? Kinectimals with Bears! of course. The expanded line-up of cuddly characters will head to retail later this year, but considering the bears aren't yet available as DLC we expect the usual outcry from gamers who've bought every piece of downloadable content and have to fork out..

First Impressions: The Black Eyed Peas Experience
Rock that body
Michael Jackson: The Experience was a pretty good attempt at bringing the King of Pop to the living room, but the Black Eyed Peas are a totally different undertaking: whereas the MJ game put you in Michael's shoes in his legendary live shows and music videos, in The Black Eyed Peas Experience you don't play as Will.i.am, Fergie or the other two. Instead you play a dance tutor, facing.. Continue Reading »
