Is your room too small to enjoy the Kinect on your Xbox 360? If so you probably feel like you wasted money on some fancy camera and all you can do is shout at it to navigate your Xbox. Nyko Has come up with an ingenious solution to solve this issue by using some pretty basic technology, magnifying glasses.
I had the chance to try this exciting new Kinect game at a Sega Arcade event with no real idea what I was getting into. I knew it was a Kinect game based around a horror game premise, but that was about it. I certainly didn’t imagine it would be such a horror to actual play.
Twisted Pixel has been in the news a bit more lately not only because of their incredible talent and work on Splosion Man, but also because of the recent maXplosion scandal. Now, they have unveiled a their latest working title which many developers would be hard-pressed to adapt for the mobile market. Gunstringer is a Kinect title built from the ground up.
Before we get overwhelmed with the soon to come 3DS news I thought it would be nice to get some info out about another Nintendo platform that is still kicking, the Wii. The Conduit received some decent praise when it was released and Conduit 2 has been garnering some hype as well as being a worthy FPS title on the first motion-controlled platform of this generation.
Kinect is less than a week away and there are still very few killer apps for it. More games are being announced as the holiday season is upon us and there may be a big surprise yet to come. Sonic Free Riders is not it however, or at least doesn’t appear to be the title everyone is raving about. Despite being part of the less-than-stellar Sonic series it does try something different by using full-motion body gestures.
Many of you may be aware that Kinect is coming to a living room near you this November 4, bu I suspect less of you have any idea what games or coming or when. Well it seems Microsoft wanted to give you a heads up and has provided us with a list of all the games that will be available around the peripherals launch. Check out the list after the break, and oh yea, I hope you enjoy being fit…
Tron: Evolution, the bridge between the 1982 film and the 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy, is soon on the heels of release and new information is bountiful. Little was known about the multiplayer aspect of Evolution, but its cover has been blown and a video trailer has been created to show of many of the different gameplay types and includes a player progression system, upgradeable weapons, and driveable vehicles.
FlingSmash, an interesting little puzzle/adventure game for the Wii, that was to be release this summer. Now that original release date has come and gone the only thing Artoon have to show for it is the new Box art. The box art is certainly not going to attract many adult gamers, but it is still interesting because it shows off the new Wii remote Plus.
The Wii Remote Plus appears to be a standard Wiimote at first but upon closer inspection it is slightly longer right under the blue lights. Which means that the controller has the enhanced motion sensing built right into it. Perhaps the release of this new device is the reason by the games delay, which has been pushed back to a November release.
There seems to be a growing trend of adding Move support to older Playstation titles, but a newer trend has spawned from that, Playstation Plus only availability. High Velocity Bowling is so far the only game to have this limitation, though the re-released Blu-Ray version will have the patch on the disc.
Do you hate those nasty fingerprints that are left all over your favourite touch screen, after typing away an e-mail; or how about when you are trying to play a game but your finger is right in the way of what you need to see. Well folks, it seems Texas Instruments and Extreme Reality (also known as XTR) have teamed up to bring you the perfect solution, a touchless gesture system for mobile devices that support the OMAP4 platform.
A big surprise out of the Tokyo Game Show this was all the Kinect-enabled games for actual gamers and adults. Steel Battalion Heavy Armor, which I am most looking forward to, is a Mech-Warrior type game in which you control giant fearsome machines, called Vertical Tanks. Of course you get to take advantage of the controller-free environment when controlling these monstrosities, though very few details of the actual mechanics were announced.
As most motion controller enthusiasts may be already aware, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition would be getting the ability to use motion controls. Now, Sony has released an update to prepare the game for the forthcoming Move controller. The update is of course free of charge, and will work with the Gold Edition of Resident Evil 5 only. Move is out tomorrow, so update now so you can just pop in the game and play with 1:1 precision aiming. I am sure a Kinect update will be following sometime soon.
