Kinectimals – Lets players train and play with 20 different virtual cats. Expect lions, cheetahs and tigers too, as nothing quite screams children like a nice big lion.
Joyride – The Xbox Live Primetime game announced last year has been repackaged and will now cost actual money. It’s a racing game where gamers can hold their hands out as if using an imaginary steering wheel. Other Kinect elements include acceleration boosting (pull your hands towards you and push back) and executing jumps and tricks (we have no idea how to do those yet).
Kinect Sports – Six sports: Boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, football (what yanks call soccer) and table tennis. Supposedly, real motions from the actual sports named control the game.
Kinect Adventures – Not much is known about this one apart from that it has one mode called “River Rush”. In it, you have to go river-rafting through obstacle courses. It features time trials and is playable by up to four players. You have to lean in different directions to steer the raft, and jumping can get you to special areas.
Dance Central – Typical dancing game to cash in on the latest gaming craze. In development over at MTV Games, so could be good though. We’re holding out hope.
Star Wars and Disney games – These two are currently in development and don’t have titles yet, but they will be separate games based on their labelled IP. Microsoft is developing them in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney. They aim for these to be the big draw for Kinect.
Video Chat – A gesture based video chat program. It has face-to-face communication and you can share photos, just like old-school Vision Camera-based Photo Party. Again, no price or launch date for it has been announced. We’ll keep you posted.
"This is (Microsoft's) attempt to leapfrog the Wii and broaden the appeal of the Xbox," says Geoff Keighley of Spike's GameTrailers. "The questions are, 'Does the controller-free environment make (the Xbox 360) more accessible?' and 'Is it fun?' "
