Time to kick some balls

The rise of Kinect has, in some ways, segregated gamers: some want to be old fashioned, and others want a revolution in gaming. Either way, the onslaught of Kinect games have been disappointing.

Rolls in Kinect Sports, Rare's attempt at motion gaming, which is supposed to give Kinect players the best possible sports experience. If you're unsure if Kinect Sports is for you then head over to the Xbox Marketplace to give the game a try. Unfortunately for Silver users, this is a Gold exclusive.

Will have to give this a download! One of the few I'm thinking of at least renting. I guess this will make my mind up!

Have it downloaded, still haven't tried it yet though. Heard some pretty decent things about it though, so hopefully it's good!

What? This intro paragraph makes no sense. Regardless, I'll be downloading this shortly because I'm hooking up my Kinect later tonight.

I would have not thought that they would let these be demos. It is good.

This for me is the stand out title on Kinect. Great achievements to, really make you work.

Does it only strike me as odd, as to put out a demo for a game AFTER Christmas Day?

The demo has been out since the 23rd or 22nd I believe, as I downloaded it a few days earlier.

I thought I'd post it up since I didn't even know about it and I don't think many people did. Plus, there's probably a ton of new Kinect owners after Christmas and there are probably more Kinect deals.

Yeah, the last few days are all melded together so it probably was the 24th. Still good to have on the front page for all those new Kinect owners!

This release time for the demo would make sense as im sure more than a few stockings were filled with kinect

I just bought the kinect today. It doesn't work correctly in my room. It works perfectly for games that only need to see the top half of my body. But for 20,000 leaks it can't see my feet. So tommorrow I'm rearranging my room to give me more play space!
