You might well have heard the Kinect looks kinda cool through night vision. I’ve stumbled across this HD video showing just what happens. I’m not an expert but it does seem to me as if the Kinect bathes the room with dots and then detects the motion through them. I’ve seen some demos from Rare […]
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 – […]
Xbox Live price hike
Here’s the summary folks; Microsoft are putting the price for Xbox Live up. For gamers in the US, Canda, UK and Mexico the fee will rise. As you’d expect we’ve the US details first. The price hike comes into force on the 1st of November. How much? It’s an increase from $50 to $60. You’ve […]
Bio-tech game controllers: every so slightly creepy
I always really like it when talent at Deviant Art (or any similar site; Etsy, for example) scores the limelight. This is certainly true for Mads Peitersen who’s had their artwork highlighted by the mighty Kotau. Mads has drawn some fine – but every so slightly creep – bio tech systems. I mean “biology” meets […]
Sexy win. Kinect fail.
Microsoft always has a challenge when it tries to demo a new product in public. Give the company credit, though. They do learn. This time rather than a boring suit to demo the product they had a pair of sexy girls so we could be distracted if the motion sensor suddenly stopped working during a […]
First DLC for Alan Wake: The Signal
Remedy Games have every reason to be pleased with Alan Wake. It looks so good. Okay; I’ve not bought it… but that’s only because I’m forcing myself to play through Final Fantasy XIII. It feels more like a “not bought it yet”. A sign that a game is doing well is that the DLC starts […]
Ready for Kinect, ready for tomorrow – new Xbox ad keeps the focus on motion control
It’s interesting but perhaps not surprising to see that Kinect features in the new Xbox 360 ads running in the UK this week. The new ad showcases the appearance of the new device while mentioning the hard disk size, its wi-fi and the claim that it’s “Ready for Kinect”. My old Xbox 360 is ready […]
Gamers Gaikai score with Intel investment
This looks interesting. The over-the-internet games provider Gaikai has just landed some investment – some moola – with Intel Capital and Limelight Networks. The way Gaikai works is to let users play games like World of Warcraft without a download, install and just over the internet. A competitor would be a company like OnLive. What […]
Mega Man Universe trailer is pretty funky
Capcom have released a trailer for the re-invented Mega Fan franchise. We don’t have much information but it looks a bit like Capcom are trying to tap into retro culture and unearth themselves a franchise with both creditability and some cash earning skills. That said; the trailer is pretty cool.
HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2
I didn’t play Mass Effect but Mass Effect 2 was so good I wish I had. Equally, I’ve not played The Force Unleashed but I’m wondering whether I need to invent a way to have 48 hours of game playing in every 24 hours and give it a go. Why? The Forced Unleashed 2 (Xbox […]
