This video is from a YouTube account run by “SEO whistle blower”. I suspect Microsoft may yank this video once they’re aware and it’s not supposed to be seen by the public. That said; this is a very public friendly video. In the vid we see Microsoft’s vision for the combined Xbox Live and Windows […]
Fable III: Coin Golf trailer
There is a second Fable III game for Microsoft devices. That’s the Window Phone 7 Coin Golf game. Golf normally bores me to tears. What’s interesting about Fable’s Coin Golf is that it makes use of Windows Phone 7‘s ability to connect over the interwebs with Xbox Live. The incentive for messing around with this […]
Window Phone 7 Fable game
One of the many announcements Microsoft made at CES this year was of a mobile Fable game. Fable Coin Golf will be available for Windows Phone 7 handsets. The interesting twist is that the game will be connected to Fable 3. Any money won by betting in Fable Coin Golf will become available in Fable […]
Play World of Warcraft with the Kinect
A team from the University of Southern California has developed a free to download system that will let you play World of Warcraft or other off-the-shelf titles with the Kinect. The Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (aka FAAST) was put together by the USC’s Institude for Creative Technologies, is currently available for Windows and […]
Interactive Puppet Kinect Act
The Kinect may not appeal to everyone but a sign that it’s here to stay is how quickly so many people are doing cool things with it. These cool things are often a result of hacking. To begin with Microsoft wasn’t that happy about the hacking. The good news is that they now say they’re […]
Gaikai launches
Dave Perry‘s Gaikai could be very big. It’s one of the few companies that are looking to bring gaming to the cloud. Why pay for an expensive console, a suped up computer or even why pass for expensive spinny discs when you could use a mundane machine to tap into Gaikai’s fat servers and play […]
Use your Kinect for 3D films
I’ve seen some Microsoft provided demos of the Kinect’s quasi-3D abilities and they’re all pretty cool. I think video might be just as cool. It’s simple but it’s also very effective. It also runs off hacked Kinect drivers and so the h4xx0r5 will be happy. What do you think? Pretty cool? The Kinect could also […]
Is D&D Insider’s move to Silverlight for Character Builder too little, too late?
Yesterday Wizards announced that their software for building 4e Dungeons and Dragons (cleverly known as ‘Character Builder’) would no longer be supported in its current format and would be moving to Silverlight. The current format is an executable program. You download software from Wizards of the Coast as if you were downloading a game, music […]
New Xbox 360 Dashboard for Kinect leaked
Wasn’t this bound to happen? We’ve a YouTube video claiming to be a leaked previewof the Kinect enabled dashboard (dasboard 2.0) for the Xbox. There’s always a risk with such “leaks” that its a fake but this one looks believable. My first impression is that this doesn’t look amazingly impressive. It’s just very familiar – […]
The Xbox’s revolutionary new D-Pad
Which is better? The PS3 controller or the Xbox 360’s? Microsoft say they’ve had some feedback from their community which suggests that the D-pad on their controller could be better. They think they’ve made some significant improvements. In this video fan facing spokesman, Major Nelson, shows off the new controller. Check it out. Looks pretty […]
