Get KINECTed



This just in from Microsoft, Natal has a name change and is officially a gimmick. Project Natal is no more and "Kinectz (z optional)" is born, also out of the ashes a list of games was released including:

Kinectimals-lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger (if the lion rips your face off then it may be interesting).
Joyride-a racing game letting players hold an imaginary steering wheel - pull your hands towards you and push back out for an acceleration boost - and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks (wow! this will be great for Mario Ka.....oh wait).
Kinect Sports-has six activities including boxing. bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis (boxing, a game when you can actually hit the person next to you in the face and score points!).
Kinect Adventures-includes a raft river time trial and an obstacle course, playable by up to four players (yep it can be played by four players, but who would want to?).
Dance Central-in development by MTV Games (oh god no, please no....well i guess we've found the most embarrassing moment at E3).
Star Wars-characters and iconic Disney favourites will be featured in seperate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney (maybe the only hope left in this list of horrors).

Well it's not off to a good start but we've only got a days wait until we learn the official line up of games, here is hoping for a gears of war game that lets you chainsaw through locust in a variety of patterns and shapes!
