dance masters for kinect

DanceMasters for Kinect Like DDR for your hands, arms, legs, feet, and body. Konami’s DanceMasters is the metaphysical heir to Dance Dance Revolution. Instead of tracking your feet’s motions on a dance mat, the Kinect tracks your entire body. Not as good as Dance Central, but not a bad workout either. Rating by steve: 3.5 stars Konami pretty much invented the dance genre game with Dance Dance Revolution. In many  [ Read More ]

Today, Majesco announced that in November it will be releasing Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure exclusively for the Kinect, coinciding with the release of other upcoming Kinect games announced recently. To be blunt, Jillian has had an awful history of releasing games on the Wii, with the horrific Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatums 2009, 2010, and 2011. The biggest flaws of those games were their poor use of Wii’s motion controllers. One  [ Read More ]

Dance Paradise for Kinect

Dance Paradise for Kinect A so-so dance game for the Kinect. Dance Paradise by THQ is less a “real dancing” game like Dance Central, and more of a throwback to the old “pattern matching” games on the Wii. Still, it provides some good fun in groups and a decent workout. Rating by steve: 3.0 stars Dance Paradise by THQ was one of the first dance games out for the Kinect,  [ Read More ]

As we speak, both Amazon and Best Buy are vying for your dollars by holding Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sales. In both cases, buy any two Xbox (or Wii or PS3 or a number of other platforms’) games, and you’ll get one for free (as you can guess, the lower priced one is the free one, so buy three that are about the same price).

Review of UFC Personal Trainer for Kinect

Posted by steve on July - 2 - 2011

UFC Personal Trainer A truly exhaustive and exhausting workout that’s perfect for UFC fans. UFC Personal Trainer easily takes the title of “most strenuous Xbox Fitness title”. It features workout routines by several UFC mixed martial arts stars which are well-scripted from warm-up exercises to cool-down stretches, although some of the exercises may be a little too intense for some. Rating by steve: 4.0 stars The way I see it,  [ Read More ]
