Moving without Travelling


Microsoft is launching the new Microsoft Kinect for XBOX 360 on November 4!Wooh hooh!

You might wonder what the hell that has to do with you?
Well, if you don't like having a good time using your hands and the television, then nothing. (That could be interpreted in an entirely different way but I swear it's meant to be innocent...)

The Microsoft Kinect for the XBOX 360 is yet another wonder-whizz of technology that's gonna encourage people to get their bodies active but never leave the house.
Whether that's a good or bad thing is debatable, but the fact is, Microsoft Kinect looks fun!

Basically, the Kinect - previously known as Project Natal - is like the Wii, but doesn't have any external controllers. In other words, you are the controller and play the game with your full body. (That means real jumps and kicks and punches...)

Although the Kinect seems pretty out there in terms of technology, I have to say that its marketing is quite blah. Check out the "you-are-SO-unique" ploy they pull in the paragraph below.

"Kinect™ for Xbox 360® has a collection of games to suit any style of play. There are games for dancers and games for racers. There are games for animal lovers and games for treasure hunters. Each one is special because it’s designed to get you off the couch and into the game. Oh, and before we forget, Kinect games are designed for full body play, so each one is as unique as the person playing them. Yep, that means you."

(*Vomits*)

Despite the marketing schmultz, the Kinect looks like it's going to be good. To check out the trailer, visit http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect/games.htm
