Pretty cool, if they make more of these avatar games, they could eventually connect them to each other to create sorth of an Avatar open world.

I think it looks good fun and it's free so I don't see the problem with it. It also give the Avatars a bit more use.

Kinect Sports, JoyRide trailered, soccer mom thrashes children

Microsoft put out montage trailers of both Joyride and Kinect Sports this morning, showing one woman soundly beating both a small boy and young girl. She really takes them to school.

"what the heck is MS thinking about these minigames"

Answer: People who would fall for gimmicks and marketing.

I hope they do fall for it. They will realize right quick that they made a mistake. Are these games FULL RETAIL PRICE? I mean did Joy Ride go from FREE to $60?
