@Gertmint I'd love a PlayStation Move drum kit but think we'll both be disappointed!

Microsoft's next mission is to create a transporter, and then a replicator, and then I'll be happy.

@dirtyvu I'm in the UK so haven't been able to use ESPN but Major Nelson definitely lists it under "new features". I blame him!

@sniperboy Apparently the issue is fixed now, but you need to delete and redownload the content for it to work again. Give it a try!

It appears I accidentally linked to the wrong video. All fixed now!

@pellissier Good news for you that we'll have a preview before launch then

I'm equally certain that kids are not the target audience here

Anyone here own any patents they think Kinect infringes on? Hoping to round up a posse. Email me.

Or even better, a full C-3PO outfit!

Always a pleasure!

How can you be bored of games that aren't even out yet?!

I don't think you'll get your wish

Perhaps wearing Speedos will help?

No idea! I think they were waiting for Fun Labs rather than release this solus, but now Fun Labs is out there's no real reason for delay. Hopefully within a few weeks, eh..?

Not in the majority of cases, no. There are a few times it'll struggle — especially on the floor — but for the most part it's spot on.

They haven't said yet, could go either way really. We'll keep our ears open!

@Acekidder You're dead right, but I'd love to see this concept taken further in an XBLA game, for example.

Is darts that big in the US? I think tennis is a pretty multi-national sport, as is golf, though I take your point on the others. Hopefully Rare and Big Park can come up with some interesting minigames to get your sweat going!

@PlaysWithWolves Peter Molyneux has repeatedly said that Fable: The Journey isn't on-rails so there must be some way to move. Perhaps a Nunchuk-like controller could work? I know it would defeat the point of Kinect somewhat but it's an option at least!

@userwords We call it like we see it here at KINECTaku. Yes this game is early and could well improve, but this first showing was not impressive. Kinect owners deserve the truth!

So buy less, procreate less, save more? I like the sound of this world

Hopefully those green lenses are going to let the Kinect track you as well as usual, but we're working on getting one and will definitely bring you a report when it arrives

@MikeAstro You can always save the photo to your computer and upload it to a free photo-sharing site like Flickr, Photobucket or Imageshack if that's easier

@ifell41 What an image! Wish I could draw

It's hardly Ghost Recon is it? Still, I like the idea of a more relaxing Kinect experience

Welcome aboard, @Acekidder! It's a shame you can't get the big Limited Edition from anywhere other than GAME and Gamestation — looks like Amazon, Play etc. is only selling the game + bonus car rather than this big beauty. Shame!

Hi Laurie, welcome to KINECTaku! I personally rather enjoyed the game — while I wouldn't say it was a great showcase for Kinect's capabilities, it's got its charms. Who wouldn't want to dance with a monkey?

@47drift There was something similar but not a straight port.

@ifell41 It'll launch as part of the Summer of Arcade season which starts next month. No confirmed release date yet but we'll let you know ASAP.

You'll still need to click on the adverts in the first place so hopefully they won't be that intrusive

Xbox Live Gold hasn't been ad-free for a long, long time though — how often do you see a box for upcoming films, games, sport events etc.? Adverts are here to stay, and in fact the more people sign up for Xbox Live Gold the more advertisers are going to want in.

Welcome to the site, @PlaysWithWolves!

Let's hope that Twisted Pixel uses this as an opportunity to cram loads of stuff in rather than just putting out the same game on a disc. Time will tell!

Yep, free XBLA download!

It'll probably be jogging on the spot, so I hope you want enormous calf muscles!

This looks really interesting actually, nice to see something totally different on Kinect. Will watch this with interest!

I can't see a sensor in the video either, but the site definitely states this is for Kinect. Perhaps it was just out of shot?

We'll have stacks more info next week

Please let this be good!

I think it would work with a headset but Kinect's voice recognition is far better

@Gertmint I'd love a game that somehow combined the two — Move for lightsaber duels and Kinect for Force powers!

@davahsa I was intrigued by that too! A Kinect-controlled Batman fighting game would be amazing if done right.

@danielmontero87 Welcome aboard! I think some Kinect games have been really well-supported with DLC — Kinect Sports, Your Shape, Dance Central — but there's definitely scope for more. I'd love some new Kinect Sports minigames to keep me going!

@davahsa I think the price of 360 may stay the same this year, it's still outselling the competition, though I think Kinect itself will drop in price — the initial buzz has died down and the sales have slowed. That said, Microsoft needs to recoup that enormous outlay on R&D and marketing, so who knows?

A Kinect price drop could well happen — I know here in the UK retailers are bundling Kinect with Kinect Sports, Kinectimals and 800 Microsoft Points at £130, which is what the sensor + Kinect Adventures cost when it first launched!

Perhaps so!

"Microsoft will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms."

It's good because it means the platform-holders can announce their new games without someone snapping them on the showfloor first

I hope you receive royalties!

That sounds awesome. Would definitely work for Kinect!

I don't know much about The Cube, other than it's a series of physical and mental challenges that happen to take place in a large transparent box, but I used to love The Crystal Maze. You had a choice of 'zones' to visit, from industrial to jungle, and different tests of agility, mental acuity and more. You had to pass the tests to receive a crystal, which gave you more time in "The Crystal Dome", where you earned money. It was a bit bizarre but always good fun!

Trailer below. Also, the host is Richard O'Brien, who wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Not familiar with Running Man — tell me more!

I tried using a Mario Kart Wii wheel in the past with Joy Ride and it didn't work, probably because your hands are partly obscured. Still, I guess you could hold a short stick instead!

Snooker could be cool if done well, and I'd appreciate improvements to the boxing and football as well.

I'd love to see some sumo wrestling personally!

Does Xbox 360 have a light gun accessory yet?
