"Kinect Fun Labs is certainly case of promise vs. reality. Announced at E3 2011, the new application promised fun, quirky, experimental side projects that aimed to show off unique ideas and concepts for the Kinect. While some of that may be true, there’s definitely potential for so much more. The unfortunate reality has resulted in paid-for widgets that are pretty shallow. While I’m not going to argue that I haven’t had fun with the current offerings such as Googly Eyes, Build a Buddy and Air Band, it’s far from what the service should have been.
Imagine of the Kinect Fun Labs application was much more open, just like the Indie Games platform, allowing developers to release free or cheap experimental applications for Kinect gamers to play. There’s certainly been a huge influx of Kinect titles recently, more so with ‘Kinect features’, but there’s nothing quite like community projects."
Gaming Update's CM Boots-Faubert takes a look at The Kinect Fun Labs and its most recent add-ins in an exploration of the utilities and apps that offer gamers a deep exploration of the capabilities of Microsoft's Xbox 360 Kinect motion-sensing controller.
i hope this aint Microsoft's trump card
I hope this is a hardcore game, but I doubt it. I could be fun though. Either way, they need Kinect support for some hardcore games like Gears or Halo. That would make the hardcore gamers at least somewhat happy.
I got a chance to see kinect in action, and I gotta say its the dumbest piece of tech I've ever got the chance to use. The only purpose its good for is video chat as my brother set it up for our nephew so he can see his father who's in georgia.
leave kinect for the casuals. You can't play core games on kinect. You need buttons.
Im just waiting for M$ to eat their words and come out and say.. "so....we are introducing a controller for kinect...now before we get all the "but you said's..""
xD
