Let's hear it!
Even though Microsoft's entire E3 line-up leaking before the company even set foot on stage, this year's presentation was full of big announcements for Kinect owners: Mass Effect 3 and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier both stole the show with their Kinect implementation, but there were plenty of other magic moments too.

The whole game is a great demonstration of Kinect's abilities, and developer Rare would be foolish not to follow it up with a sequel. With that in mind,.. Continue Reading »

Talking Point: How Would You Bring Halo to Kinect?
Master Chief on the move
While Kinect is set to receive Child of Eden, The Gunstringer and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor this year, it's still crying out for a great hardcore title from Microsoft's internal studios.

We're finally starting to come to.. Continue Reading »

Talking Point: From 40 Buttons to None - Can Steel Battalion Really Work on Kinect?
Is Capcom's mech-sim going to be a shocking success or noble failure?
In these very early stages of mud-slinging between Sony and Microsoft regarding their new motion-sensing technologies, one weapon that has been used sparingly is the notion of appealing to 'core' gamers. Neither company has shied away from pushing the 'casual' angle, but very few concessions have been made to those gamers who.. Continue Reading »
