A demo for Frontier's cute motion-controlled pet sim Kinectimals hits Xbox Live next month, Microsoft has announced.

Since the beginning of time, man has sought to dominate the creatures of the wild, while children have tried their hardest to squish out their fuzziness. Owning a real animal requires time, patience and frequent carpet cleanings; while for the low price of $2.99 on Google Play and iOS and little heavy lifting, Microsoft Studios brings you an adorable (virtual) wild animal of your very own.

Cats and kittens are the fuel that keeps the Internet muttering “Aww,” and flooding every social media channel available with adorable, fluffy overload until Cute Induced Cardiac Arrest is the inevitable result. Everything is better with cats. The Earth itself knows this, as it allowed a huge rock to kill off all those ugly, scaly dinosaurs just to make way for cats. Unfortunately, it’s logistically impossible for cats to be everywhere, but that doesn’t mean we have to live with this situation. For example, when we get our hands on Unity in November, Arno and his band of Assassins will be stupid, regular old humans.

"So your skeptical friends are coming over for a night of gaming, and you have your shiny new Kinect plugged in to your Xbox 360. You’ve moved your couch around, and your coffee table, in order to get the optimal experience. So which games do you get? Look no further than this article! In no particular order…"
Great! I am curious.
I've never understood this concept clearly. Why release a demo after the full game has been on the shelves for months?
Are they trying to get people that never gave it a shot before a chance to try it hoping they'll buy?
If so then why not just start off with the demo? Is it a marketing strategy to bring back attention to a game without having to add or change anything about the game or did they fear that releasing the demo early would actually deter some from buying it in the first place and so the only way to feed their curiosity is to either buy it or rent it?
So many questions...never mind Crysis 2 has finished installing...I thought X360 dvd size was a problem, these guys didn't even use the whole thing and this game looks better than anything I've ever played and is longer than the other fps that released recently with pretty graphics and a million GB's worth of disc space, what gives?
