Expect things to cool down this summer with this extensively titled tie-in

Activision have thawed off some screenshots for the soon to be released movie tie-in Ice Age: Continental Drift - Arctic Games, a Kinect-only party game.

Ice Age: Continental Drift - Arctic Games is due to release in North America on July 10th, tying in nicely to the film's release, while other territories still have a loose 'Summer' release window.

More high quality graphics and a crap Kinect game. Expect this in the tenner or under bin by Christmas.

You know, I've yet to stoop so low as to play a kinect game for easy GS.

My thinking is-the less Kinect games that are sold, the less that will be made.

Well if they dont sell Kinect games then Microsoft and the 360 will be fucked. The games industry isnt exactly booming at the moment with companies going under left, right and centre.

I wouldn't pay any attention to this guy, he seems to bitch about Kinect quite a lot, nothing better to do.

As for the guy saying this will be cheap by christmas, I think your being generous this will probably have a very quick price drop. Before August is out I'm sure.

At least if you play Kinect games for easy GS you get movement. Imo it's better then playing low ratio games that don't require Kinect. Or would you get tired after 5 minutes of Kinect and thatswhy go hating on it?;)

The way you always go on about kids and grannies in kinect threads makes me wonder if you have a thing for them.

This game looks poor, but only time will tell. This is great for casuals, and clearly has a market as this kind of stuff is repetitively made and sold... even if the most vocal core gamer base can't appreciate it, clearly a profitable demographic does and hence it is made - that is the nature of capitalist business, 101 economics - supply and demand. Bitching about shit which isn't important and is highly unlikely to change is a clear path to insanity, reassess your mental stability and try to live a healthy life if the creation of shit like this seriously bothers you, if you were mentally sound you wouldn't care.

It's a comments page with some people saying that the game doesn't look very good. Not really grounds to go saying that people are mentally unstable.
