XBOX Kinect....

[Rub'Rum]

Not ot mention the 100s of hours I've put into strategy and RPG games.

Paradox interactive games and the like are obviously for tweens and grandmas what are you talking about.

so anyways...

i messed around with a kinect last night and it was weird. Played ping pong and it seemed, i don't know, sluggish. But that may be because I am used to the wii ping pong style where you just flick the controller, with the kinect you actually have to move to the ball and swing your hand.

Also played boxing, and it wasn't very fun. Didn't seem to accurately track my hands. Another thing you probably get used to and figure out, but I didn't.

Definitely has the "cool" factor. It has a camera so it can play back what you did in instant replay with the game at the same time in split screen, which is kind of fun.

You really have to move. The Wii is very tame compared to the Kinect in terms of how much you have to move in order to do stuff.

I don't know about the boxing thing, haven't played it. It's quite likely this first generation of Kinect will be of somewhat subpar quality but it will pave the way for better systems

There's a company called Outside that has been making these interactive movement things for years. One of their best games is Playground.

JK, But on topic: I really get tired of things like this, kinect and wii. They just get boring after a while and seem like a big gimmick.
