Here is the list of games that will be available to buy when Kinect hits the shops on the 11th Nov 2010. There seems to be a bias towards fitness and dancing games amongst these first releases. I do hope developers get a bit more creative with the later releases. Kinect Adventures is bundled with the Kinect so you can’t [...]

Now that Weefz and I got to play with Microsoft’s Kinect (previously known as Project Natal) for Xbox 360 courtesy of the Kinect galleries, here’s my summary of our Kinect experience. As I covered in my Kinect galleries post last week, you can book your 30 min Kinect session either via facebook or in person at 4-6 Russell Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 7BN. The location itself is pretty easy to get to as it's right next to the Covent Garden market. It is also pretty inconspicuous too with swathes of Kinect flags adorning the outside of the location. You really can’t miss it.
