You say that like it’s a selling point for everybody. It’s not. Many people who want to get into shape don’t BECAUSE of that fact, they don’t want to feel embarrassed showing their flabby sweaty bodies to a room full of muscley “beautiful people”.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 11:14 AMI like how the Kinect Sports logo even LOOKS like the Wii Sports logo.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 11:21 AMJust watched the E3 Microsoft show, Dance Central looks pretty cool. I’ve always enjoyed learning dances, seems a decent alternative to going out to meet up with groups of dancers in the CBD and getting stabbed on the way home at night.
The flood of sports and fitness games is amusing, but I suppose those are the easiest to come up with…

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 11:29 AMAm I the only one who thinks Natal was a better name?
Kinect makes it sound like a marketing spin for a shitty plastic kids toy your grandparents picked up from cheap as chips.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 3:24 PMI’ve always found Microsoft to have much better sounding code names than actual product names. “Project Natal” was an awesome name, but at least they didn’t name it “Microsoft Dynamic Motion Sensor Plus!” or something…

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 4:21 PMI also like the look of Dance Central even though I can’t dance well. Even that nerd in the E3 conference demo looked competent.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 7:47 PMthey need to make a decent soccer game… THEN I MIGHT ACUALLY BUY A NATAL.(idon’t care what mocrsoft says i’m going to continue referring to it as a natl and hopefully it will catch on)
i was afraid that the games were going to be like this. they aren’t original enough and they are just the same old crap to make money and not to entertain the consumer so much. they have to stop focusing on how to make money and take risks on an off chance for more entertainment.
