5 Things Microsoft Needs To Do To Improve With Kinect

The Kinect is pretty good, but who is satisfied with “pretty good”? Having spent may days with Kinect, I’ve got five requests for how Microsoft could improve this thing.


Kinect Kind Of Compatible With Push-Ups

For a week in June, Team Kotaku played Microsoft’s hands-free control system Kinect, standing up. Kinect has problems with seated players, we reported. Yesterday I tried doing a push-up in front of it.


Metroid: Other M Isn’t Completely Off The Rails

Playing through a short section of Metroid: Other M last week, I couldn’t help but notice that the action adventure Wii title felt at times very much like the sort of game the makers of Other M said it wasn’t: An on-the-rails shooter.


Whatever Happened To That Other Prince Of Persia?

The aptly named Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands picks up the tale of the Prince, filling in that gap between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. But what happened to that reboot of Prince of Persia from two years ago?


Digital Decapitations A Primal Release, Creator Says

“I’ve always been a non-violent person,” Tim Jones told me last week as we chatted in a subterranean nightclub in Manhattan. He’s a “peace and love” kind of guy and designer of a new video game featuring spine-dangling decapitations.

Bill O’Reilly: Moral Barometer Or Guitar Hero Shill?
