See if this story doesn’t sound familiar. You excitedly unpacked your brand new Kinect and after hooking it up place it on top of your TV. You popped in a game, but quickly realized that most of the game require at least 8-10 feet of space. But in your cramped apartment (or living room or space), you only have 5 feet of space or less!

The recent E3 Conference in Los Angeles saw a huge number of announcements for new motion-control video games. It looks like a lot of game companies are betting on the Kinect–there will be more motion-control games available for the Xbox 360 for Christmas 2011 than for the Wii and the Playstation Move combined.

In my recent review of The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout for Kinect, I mentioned that it’s a decent game and a nice thing for fans of the TV show to get. I may have to amend that statement already. Because last week, THQ released a free add-on to the game which I think may catapult it into the realm of “must have”, at least for past, present, and potential fans of the [ Read More ]
