Let Me Show You What Doesn’t Work In Kinect Star Wars — And What Does

Kinect Star Wars is not the world’s greatest new video game. I’ve said as much in my review.

The Kinect Star Wars Credits Are 22 Minutes Long

We don’t know how many Bothans died to bring us Kinect Star Wars, but we know that a hell of a lot of people worked on the game. For a couple of years, at least.

Kinect Star Wars: The Kotaku Review

If you know how to use the internet, you will have little trouble finding people who will tell you that Kinect Star Wars is a bad video game. These people are correct.

The event was a joint effort between Microsoft and Capcom, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Japanese release of the original Xbox (February 22nd, 2002), and to promote some of the upcoming titles to the Xbox 360.

I Bet I Know Why You Will Play Kinect Star Wars’ Dance-Off At Least Once

It’s going to take a hell of a turnaround to get me to change my tune on Kinect Star Wars. Yeah, Totilo said the game’s improved over what I played at E3, but, come on, a dancing game? I mean, how stupid is that. Do I look like a guy who wants to —

Kill A Room Full Of People With Your Brain (For Fun)

This Darth Vader may not have James Earl Jones’s wicked baritone or David Prowse’s imposing height (or even Hayden Christensen’s adolescent whine), but the evil overlord skills on display simply cannot be denied. It just goes to show: there’s a little force-wielding maniac in all of us.
